Abstract
An arm of a tractor-mounted loader is coupled to the top of a loader mast having a bottom end received in a pocket formed at an outboard area of a horizontal base plate of a loader mounting frame connected to one side of the tractor. A quick coupler support bracket is mounted to the base plate inboard of the pocket. Supported by and projecting upwardly from a horizontal fitting mounting plate of the support bracket are respective quick coupler halves forming ends of a first set of hoses that are coupled to the tractor hydraulic system. The first set of hoses extend through a hose passage, provided in a rear wall of a walled structure joined to and cooperating with the base plate so as to form a cavity therebeneath, and through a set of fitting openings provided in the fitting mounting plate. A second set of hoses extend from the rear of the arm and has a second set of quick coupler halves connected to the first set of quick coupler halves.
