A hose clamp assembly for use with an agricultural machine that help to route hoses or other elongate routed components about the agricultural machine. The hose clamp assembly may include a first clamp block having first and second outer walls, with at least a first set of openings formed in one of the first and second outer walls. Additionally, the first clamp block may further include a second set of openings formed into the other of the first and second outer walls. The first clamp block may be secured to the agricultural machine, to a mounting bracket, or to a lock plate. Additionally, the hose clamp assembly may have a second clamp block having third and fourth outer walls. The second clamp block may have a third set of openings formed therein, as well as a fourth set of openings. The clamp blocks may be mounted to one another.

Hose clamp assembly

A pump that has a flangeless valve plate, meaning that the valve plate has no flange through which bolts that secure the head to the pump extend. The pump has eccentrics and pistons that all have holes in them so that the pistons at opposite ends of the pump can be assembled to the shaft of the motor 180&#xb0; out of phase. The pump further has a monolithic head that includes the two head members of the pump and the tube that connects them also has an integrally formed port. The pump is supported by elastomeric tubular members from its ports. The pump has a push-in fitting that can be pushed into a hole in a member such as the head, the housing or the base so that once pushed in, a ring around the fitting expands outwardly behind an edge of the body to trap the fitting in the opening.
