so i am tired of getting of the tractor to turn my plow so i am adding up front hydraulic lines they will be 316 ss 3/8 i have the couplers tacked in place the is a 9/16 hole and the 1/4 fitting fits into it then it goes to the coupler should be simple plumbing and i am relocating the filter under the tractor ( where the steering gears were ) as my tractor has power steering now the tricky part i see is sneaking the valve in and routing the lines to maximize space and increase ascetics .. LOL here is what i have on the tractor now Also i might have a line on a hyd motor to run a winch thats another build

That's turning out nicely. I'll bet the power steering will be a big plus with the snow plow on the front.

I Like it. That will be slick.

Should help, but wouldn't further away from the exhaust been better?

If you are having trouble routing the steel lines you could consider having rubber hoses made to do the job. There is a company up here who makes them for just the cost of the fittings and hose.

i have thought of that i could just go to princess auto but i would prefer steel lines as the conduct heat and will not crack

yes and no i plan to cut the pipe of and turn it up there is more clearance then appears i am not that concerned about heat as there is air blowing by i cant mount on the other side as it will inter fear with the lift linkage and stick out like a sore thumb if worse comes to worse i will cut it off and relocate

it feels like it unstoppable i had a snow blower on and cant even bog it down i like the briggs-eaton-bolens mix the re-power was worth every penny (Hehe free motor ) the only thing was the charging system (up graded stator and v-r also the fly wheel) now i get 11 amps at Wot actually i when to the tractor pull and had ags and weights i powered out and did not even fizz on the engine but when you do get a load on it it sounds Wicked ( home made muffler ) i really like the tractor sure the paint is not great and the dash is smashed but i feel that it can it out last and out work and perform most new tractors even the x 3 and 5 series Jd's i dont think i could sell it . i have plans on building my 1256 into a 1256 Diesel with power-steering and 3pt Now that will be a beast of a GT

Got in some more work got the valve mounted and the lines bent and flared .. i am pretty pumped on how well i bent them only messed up one and it was because it cut it short the valve is bolted on so i can take it off if i ever wanted they all flared nice i reused some fittings now the next move is to mod my snow plow to have a hydraulic angle option as well install my new trans oil cooler any questions let me know it works pretty good
Cheers
