where does it go GC1710

rbperk · Mar 17, 2022

I have the 1710 with the backhoe and I have disconnected it from the tractor.
The problem I'm having is how to hook the hoses back together on the tractor.
They are marked red blue and yellow. Which one hooks back together?

Thanks.

Check the tractor side of quick connect for "matching" color code?....

One has blue and another color, one has only blue. This should be a male/female to connect and close the hydraulic loop.

iirc blue is return and is the one you run connected w/ backhoe off. if labels missing off tractor side that may help clue you in.
if you been running tractor w/ backhoe off and return not connected...well...you in for world of hurt.

Might try some specific colored plastic ties on both side of QD before next disconnect if not already there...

What I do ....... after it's hooked back up and working correctly, put your own color coded zip ties on the matching lines, then also take a picture to keep on your phone for future reference (just in case)

I do that before I take stuff apart (phone picture); has made life easier when putting things back together.
