I mark all of my hydraulic lines with color coded tie wraps. Course my tractor has 3 rear SCVs and 3 mid SCVs.

Ya, if that one hose works backward the loader stand folds up to working position and the loader is on the ground.
I will post my results after I get my tractor back from the dealer. Now I have an action plan and it shouldn't take long to figure out which hose goes where. The farm machinery dealer has only 1 mechanic and himself to repair equipment.That means it might be a month or more until I get the tractor home again. Auto mechanics are commonly found, tractor mechanics, not so much; farm tractors today are filled with electronics and computers too.
workinonit; thanks for your suggestion. I'll do that when everything's correct.

Today I received my new owners manual for my MF 451. It has 2 pages explaining details of the hyd. remote panel. There was supposed to be a decal there explaining they are numbered 1-4, and which one is which, but is long-gone now. So out comes my paint sharpie for metal tomorrow.
Since I have the hoses identified already, tomorrow this should be a plug N play affair, assuming the manual is correct.
I spent several hours reading and absorbing the manuals contents today, after making the 60 mile drive to load, strap-down, and haul my tractor home before noon.

WHOA!
Reading the manuals?! That's SO contrary to my approach when it comes to trying to fix things.
Sounds like you're on the home stretch so to speak.

When DW and I were dating, she was amazed that I was not hesitant to stop and ask directions, or when working on something-stop and re-read the manual. (that was pre-GPS era)WHOA!

Many years ago, I had a ~50 mile commute to work and had a friend who lived even further away, so we would commute together. She’s a nurse. In case you don’t have a nurse in your close circle, they pretty much will not hesitate to blurt out what they’re thinking. She had also has a quick wit.
(Charles, male, relating this story.) One day, on our way home (I was driving) we encountered a detour that took us to roads that neither of us we familiar with. I saw a small ma & pa grocery and whipped into their parking lot.
She said, “What are you doing?”
I said, “going to get directions.”
Without missing a beat, she said, “ Aren’t you afraid your penis will fall off?”
I said, “No…because you’re going in to get the directions.”
I still count her as one of my dearest friends.

I'm reminded of a commercial for Dodge many years ago: it showed a family driving their new Dodge vehicle, towing a boat, out on a dirt road in a desert-like environment and the wife asks "Aren't you going to use that fancy GPS yet?" - my first thought was that a man's fascination with new tech "toys" would over-ride his disdain for asking directions, and that GPS would have been in use the entire time...
