Charles - I wanted to keep the hoses away from everything that moves. It seems like there's plenty of room back there but it's all closer than I thought! The pics are deceiving but there is just enough room for the equipment hoses to pass by the vertical link that connects to the right lift arm when I use the outside couplers. They do touch that vertical link though depending on how the hoses come off the attached equipment. An abrasion sleeve over the hoses would probably work well enough.
No clearance problem with the inner set of couplers.
I had to Helicoil the mounting holes on the rear housing before I could use them. They're 7/16" coarse thread so it was no problem. I have no idea what they were used for originally but the threads were almost completely rusted away.
I made the bracket out of scrap and looking back, I should have angled it in slightly to give more clearance. One of the hoses is a bit long too so it's right at the minimum bend radius. It's hard to measure them exactly when fitting things that close. I'll run it until I have trouble with it.
I had mixed feelings about the breakaway couplers and ended up not using any because it was easier. I looked at maybe 10 of the neighbors tractors and saw about 1/2 with and 1/2 without. Older stuff always seems to have them. Newer tractors not so much and never on any of the small import models.
Just like everything a person builds, once it's done you can see ways to do it better. Hey, there's always version 2 right? ;)

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
