Finally got around to replacing the hard lines on my loader.
When I bought this rig, the lines were severely bent where they go across the front. Obviously, the previous owner had lowered the loader while the grill guard was open. I had bought new ones last year, but was waiting on the right opportunity to change them out.
A couple of weeks ago, while repacking a cylinder, I noticed a hose was cracking bad so I ordered a new one. BIL volunteered to help, so I decided to replace the hard lines and the new hose.
Well, I wasn't born yesterday so we tagged all the lines and hoses before we disconnected anything. But I didn't pull up the parts list to verify where each new line was supposed to go. After fiddling around for a couple of hours, we figured out one (not sure which one) of the new lines was made wrong and we reused one of the old ones, which fortunately only needed a little straightening to look good as new.
So, what should have been a one hour job turned into all morning.
