Backhoe Bradco backhoe hook-up

[GRUB]

I have a very difficult time hooking up the left quick-connect hydraulic line in the attached picture. It takes all my strength and several attempts. The hose is loose and won't stay still while I try to push them together. I use the pressure relief valve on the backhoe and I move both the front loader and backhoe levers to relieve any additional system pressure before hook-up. It seems that the hydraulic lines on the tractor side should be fastened and not loose. That way I could push against it instead of using one hand to hold it steady. Anyone have any ideas?

Dealers and manufactures are both bad about not installing a bracket to hold the power beyond lines. Most or should I say a lot of them do just like your manuf/dealer did, just stick them back there. The tractor that I have now has a bracket that holds the female end in the conventional way, but the male is retained but not like the female. That is done so that you can hook the male in to the female for the power loop.

There is supposed to be a bracket that bolts to you valve on the rear to mount the quick couplers/hoses. We sell alot of Mahindras with backhoes and i have mounted many myself and there is definatly a bracket. If you need the part number give me an e-mail and would be happy to get it for you.

Scott,
could you please post the part number and maybe a picture of this bracket that I could forward to my dealer. Sorry, but my e-mail security here at work is not letting me e-mail this request to you. So I put it in the thread,
thanks, Court

I just looked and my SCV's is hooked to a bracket. I have a 11 ft bradco and bought it from Johnson auto.. They should be able to get you this bracket and how it hooks up
