Awhile back I replaced the drive hoses after a rupture due to rubbing on the cover where the hoses run into the machine chassis. I have recently had the track frame off for other work, and I would like to set the hoses so they don't keep rubbing through. I have them wrapped with both plastic spiral and the sock stuff, but as hard as the upper hose is riding on the frame I think it is eventually going to wear through. I thought of cutting the upper part of the guard, but I am not sure if that is the best idea. Is there anything anybody else has found to deal with this?
