B2650 third function hydraulic line routing

[St8 e]

Does anyone have a picture of how their third function line is routed on a B2650. I have a factory kit and it seems as if the lines are VERY stressed when the loader is at full extension. It also seems as if the lines constantly get in the way of the bucket level indicator. I have tried several different ways to route the lines and none of them give me a warm feeling about stress on the lines or fittings at full extension…

This is the way that I did mine. I went down to a local hydraulic place and had them make up some metal pipes and bend them to match the loader arms. I attached the pipes to the arms with elevator bolts, fender washers bent to match the pipes, and 2 part metal epoxy. The outside hoses by the valves are the hoses that go back to my hydraulic top link. They are just on 2 connectors that hold them out of the way and keep them clean when I am not using them. When I do need them I just change the hoses around.
