Abstract
A hose clamp retainer assembly for an implement includes a retainer welded to the implement and having an apertured wall leading into a cavity. A bolt having a headed end is slidably received within through the apertured wall for support within the cavity. A hose clamp received by the bolt includes a projecting portion abutting the second wall and preventing the headed end from sliding out of the cavity through the apertured wall. The bolt can be easily replaced if damaged.
