380A Blade Replacing Hoses

[nforktractor]

Hi, I am replacing the hoses on my 380A blade, two hoses are much longer than the other four hoses,

One is 76" and one is 80",

Looking at the parts diagram, which one goes to the top of the lift cylinder and which one goes to the bottom?

The diagram looks like the long one goes to the bottom and the shorter one to the top, which then makes the longer one stick out further than all the rest,

Do you have 6 hoses?

I suspect the longer hose loops back to the base of the lift cylinder.
But when hooked up, you will soon find out which is the lift hose by the way the joy stick works. At that time, they can easily be switched back.

What took place that hoses need to be replaced?

Yes, the long one to the top. Here are pics of my setup: https://picasaweb.google.com/113966569709555812037/PlowPics

Hooked everything up, and raised the blade and hydraulic fluid shot off to the side, one hose had a crack in it, so, figured I'd replace them all at once,
