Bobcat 4 in 1 bucket plumbing diagram (763)

Hey guys,
I think the prior owner I got my 4in1 bucket from (bobcat brand) didnt plumb it quite right as the aux hoses rub against the tire quite a bit when the arms are down. Can someone show me how you have plumbed yours, or send me the specs on hose lengths that I'd need to do it correctly? Thank you so much in advance!!!

i believe if you loosen the hydraulic hoses (not all the way, loose) you will be able to spin the hose freely. spin both hoses so they bend out of the way and retighten. there are others who know alot more than i, hopefully they can weigh in.

Depending upon where the hoses attach to the bucket, you have to work it out. Bobcat sells a Hose Retainer Kit that attaches to the outside of the left loader arm below the couplers.

If you can route the hoses down to the pivot pin and then up through the D-Ring to the couplers it allows the full bucket motion and keeps the hoses secured. The D-Ring just bolts to the holes in the loader arm. They are not cheap from Bobcat and can be easily made if you have access to a welder.
One of my 4in1 buckets has the hoses attaching to the back of the bucket near the bottom but pointing away from the pivot pins. Rather than bending the hoses 180 degrees back down to the pivot pin and up the arm, I routed then up over the top of the bucket in a loose loop and back to the couplers. I have full bucket movement, but have to keep an eye on them when I'm in the brush.
