Well it's mounted back onto the engine. I was about to really lose my cool over the transmission filter lines. They had funny bend in them and took forever to hook up. I am still hoping to have it completed by Friday but depends how much it wants to fight me.

Not really, There are 3 more steel lines that are a real pain in the butt. Once I get past those I hope I can fly thru the rest of the 20 or so hydraulic lines and at least get the cab set back on by the end of the day.

There is a transmission in there. I got the cab back on after lunch and barring any issues I should finish it up tomorrow.

Those are all the transmission, steering, brake and hydraulic system lines. The big silver one is cooling line from the engine to the radiator. I have to fill the transmission and cooling system then I will be ready to start it up.

I agree!!
The suction lines to the pumps from the hydraulic tanks hook up to the bottom of the pumps, a super pain to get lined up and the fittings tight.
