Case 580sl dipper hose route

Aussiemac · 2024-08-13 04:42

Hi all. Quick question, I’m not sure I have my dipper hoses in the correct place. Mainly the extend hose. After doing lots of work to it recently I finally got it operational this afternoon and was putting it into travel position and …. snapped the extend fitting off. Plus a heap of oil to deal with. Looking now, maybe the cylinder goes opposite way so hose faces downward in line with the hole in the boom? Pics attached.

    Also case parts say the hose is meant to be 660mm long, and measuring I reckon this one is pretty close.
