[QUOTE="mcj115, post: 130241, member: 23554"] As an update to all. I waited until the bobcat brand hoses were available...then to the install. I decided to try without pulling the engine. Upon further examination the bracket on one of the hoses had broken loose from age/ vibration. Win for me. I removed that hose with the second hose with the brakes still installed, I decided to go cave man after disconnecting the two ends I just grabbed the hard parts of the line and shook, wiggled, eventually ripped the line from the mount. I re- routed the new lines in and after some Jenga I got the new lines installed like factory just without the two strap mount that are properly removed/ installed from the engine side. As a suburban homeowner with no heavy equipment experience it wasn't too terrible...but this is why I chose an older 743...simple diesel, no turbo, no electronic controls. The worse part for me was I didn't own a 1 1/2" wrench, but it was tool shopping time at the swap meet and I now have a large DOE Cornwell wrench for $10 :) [/QUOTE]
