Good tip! I think the 2nd gen hose will clear it but if not, good info.
Time for an update on the build. I've been dealing with a couple distractions lately, getting an old mower ready for cuttting season. Any other Toro Groundsmaster fans here? This model 72 has a pretty good running 4cylinder watercooled Renault (continental) R10 engine. I put a new distributor with pertronix setup on. She's from 1980 but the 72 inch deck and rear wheel steer make for quick cutting. These are very durable machines. They still sold what was basically the same design through 2010 (but with creature comforts and a sweet 28 hp Kubota diesel) before they downsized the chassis a bit.
Also picked up a winter beater and/or future project. Its an 04.5 LLY that runs really well but has body issues and the price was too good to pass up. I've since obtained a rust free cab for it from a local guy who is also a forum member
I've been changing fluids and trying to figure out what to do with it. Probably drive for a winter as is and then do the cab swap and find a new bed. It runs and drives very well and only has 220k on it, not much for a diesel. It was on old company truck and has a nice ag hitch on it, new batteries and very nice aftermarket stereo system.
