Tired of the hassle of cleaning your hydraulic connections before attaching your front end loader?  Me too!  So I came up with this solution.  This cover installs easily over the hydraulic support bracket and does not require any tractor modifications or hardware.  The cover is held in place by a friction fit around the perimeter of the bracket and is easily installed and removed by hand without any tools.

This part is 3D printed from PETG and provides excellent strength and durability while protecting the hydraulic quick connect fittings from all of the debris that can be kicked up by the front tire of the tractor.  Install the cover when using the tractor without the front end loader, and simply remove to install the hoses without worrying about debris getting into that precious (and expensive!) hydraulic fluid.

This part may be compatible with the following John Deere 1 Series and John Deere 2 Series tractor models:  1023E, 1025R, 1026R, 2025R, and 2026R

In order to fit, the tractor must be equipped with the hydraulic support bracket part number LVU31049. Please check your specific tractor for compatibility before purchasing.
