I agree your's is a better location. I'd be careful evern calling that the "factory install" most of the custom install's I've seen have much better fit and finish.

Ok, to clear this up.
The 3rd SCV is hard lined, not hosed. The kit number is above. The valve was installed 100% according to the JD manual that came with the kit. Attached are the pictures from the JD website build your own. I mounted it exactly there. So I guess I can "be careful" in calling it the factory kit now?
The hose and hardline kit to run the third SCV to the loader. Again it was installed exactly by the instruction book with the kit. The hose were run inside the protective loom, new bracket installed, hoses were run along side the hardlines under the tractor. Now, I can run them under the seat and over the tranny and come out closer to the 3rd SCV valve. I elected not to since when I ran them through there there are multiple rub points that I was not comfortable with. I elected to run them along the hardlines that go to the 3rd SCV as shown in the picture. Maybe I should have washed and waxed it and set up some studio lights? I do plan to tie the hoses in the back in a little tighter.

Dusty, the "careful about calling it factory" comment was not aimed at you. I've got the standard 3rd SCV kit on my 3320 and the hoes to the front are a little messy too. I just think Deere's location of the diverter is a poor. It forces you to run the hoses the way you did. There's alot a real estate on the 4000 series to mount the diverter. WR Long does a decent job of it. Again I wasn't knocking your work and appreciate the photo sharing. Just think Deere should do a better job. On a 50k tractor you'd think that would go without saying.

It does stick out. I think it would be better on the opposite side and behind and below the seat. Seems like enough room for the third, 4th and 5th valves to be in the same place.
The way it is though it will work for me. If it becomes bothersome I'll replace the hardlines with hoses and look at putting it on the rear.
