Tires rub snowblower hoses

I just took pics of mine.

Thanx for the photos. I misunderstood earlier. Your routing looks similar to what's shown in my manual, except your tarp strap sucks it in closer than the Bob-tach hose guide can. I'll check, but I'm not sure I have enough hose length, or maybe I need 90 degree connections. When I put the hoses in both hose guides (SB240 and Bob-tach), it was a bear to connect the hoses and tilting actually flexed the hydraulic connections downward. I think I'd lose a couple inches of hose length by tucking them into the Bob-tach more.

My hoses are the standard hoses that came with my SB200. They have a 90 degree metal pipe bend right at the boom connections on the arm. Yours comes out straight for some reason. The only way to man-handle these hoses are when they are hot. Get them in position then strap them down, but it looks like you'll need a set of 90's in there.
