Working at the neighbors, doing some landscaping clean-up and junk. Yesterday was puling a stump and while I was focused it seemed like smoke was coming from a spot that wasn't the exhaust... Kept on trucking for a bit, not thinking much of it, then it seemed to continue. Hopped off to see hydraulic oil pouring out of somewhere right under my seat under the cab. There is a poorly positioned hose under there that appears to have gotten rubbed open by the driveshaft. At least I'm hoping it's that or else I have may have a much bigger problem. Not sure how much fluid I lost, but got it home and parked. Hopefully I can get the hose off and check it tonight or tomorrow.
That being said, anyone have good methods for keeping any hydraulic hoses up away from moving parts? Just a big hose clamp good enough? I think in this instance it was supposed to be held up by a couple steel tabs that would just fold over each other to keep that up.
