6. The lift arm of claim 1 , wherein the mounting plate includes an annular opening sized to receive a hydraulic quick-connect coupling.
7. The lift arm of claim 1 , wherein the first bracket and the second bracket each comprise a thickness dimension.
8. The lift arm of claim 7 , wherein the mounting plate includes at least one securement tab defining a slot, wherein the slot includes a width dimension that substantially the same as the thickness dimension of the first bracket and the second bracket.
9. A lift arm comprising:
an attachment assembly;
one or more of an electrical supply line or a first hydraulic hose being fixed in relation to the lift arm and having a coupling coupled to a first mounting plate;
a first bracket affixed to the lift arm; and
a second bracket affixed to the attachment assembly,
wherein the first mounting plate is moveable between, and removably securable to, the first bracket and the second bracket.
10. The lift arm of claim 9 , wherein the first mounting plate includes a first annular opening sized to receive the electrical supply line and a second annular opening sized to receive the first hydraulic hose.
11. The lift arm of claim 9 , wherein the lift arm includes both the first hydraulic hose and the electrical supply line, and wherein the first hydraulic hose and the electrical supply line are both coupled to the first mounting plate.
12. The lift arm of claim 9 , wherein one or more of the first bracket and the second bracket includes an opening defined by a u-shaped opening or a j-shaped opening.
13. The lift arm of claim 9 , wherein the first bracket and the second bracket both include two j-shaped openings.
14. The lift arm of claim 9 , further comprising:
a second hydraulic hose being fixed in relation to the lift arm having a second coupling coupled to a second mounting plate; and
a third hydraulic hose being fixed in relation to the lift arm and having a third coupling coupled to the second mounting plate.
15. The lift arm of claim 14 , wherein the first hydraulic hose is a case drain hose, the second hydraulic hose is a hydraulic fluid supply hose, and the third hydraulic hose is a hydraulic fluid return hose.
16. The lift arm of claim 14 , wherein the second mounting plate includes a third annular opening sized to receive the second hydraulic hose and a fourth annular opening sized to receive the third hydraulic hose.
17. The lift arm of claim 14 , further comprising a third bracket affixed to the lift arm and a fourth bracket affixed to the attachment assembly, wherein the first bracket is affixed on a first side of the lift arm and the third bracket is affixed to a second side of the lift arm, and wherein the second bracket is affixed to a first side of the attachment assembly and the fourth bracket is affixed to a second side of the attachment assembly.
18. The lift arm of claim 17 , wherein the third bracket and the fourth bracket both include two j-shaped openings.
19. The lift arm of claim 17 , wherein the second mounting plate is moveable between, and removably securable to, the third bracket and the fourth bracket.
20. A lift arm comprising:
an electrical supply line having a first end and a second end, the first end being fixed in relation to the lift arm and the second end having a connector coupled to a mounting plate; and
