    Hydraulic thumb adjustment

    I have tons of time so no need to worry about that. I found the shitty picture on the Kubota site and yes its worthless. A good picture of that valve might provide some insights.... This aint rocket science - you have a pressure source, a valve, and a cyinder. You can easily isolate the...

    Hydraulic thumb adjustment

    Well that was a waste of time. I could find nothing useful in the way of a parts diagram for the hoe or thumb. Got a picture of the valve? Is it a section in the main control valve? Dan

    Advice Needed for spreading dirt

    By my calculation thats 5,-6 tandem loads. Have them dumped in equally spaced piles across the area to be covered. Push and back drag to spread each pile. You can spread a pile in a matter of minutes and I would rough spread each one between deliveries. Finish grade after all the loads have been...

    Hydraulic thumb adjustment

    Actually I dont know but I will have a look at the parts breakdown in an attempt to educate myself. You seem to be indicating there is a relief valve just for the thumb which strikes me as odd. Is this a port relief perhaps? Dan

    Hydraulic thumb adjustment

    RPM is not going to help. A gauge is $20 plus whatever fittings but its probably going to tell you what you slready know - no pressure. My question is what relief are we talking about and why is it only the thumb with the issue? Dan

    Hydraulic hose routing for L275

    The Readers Digest version: With your current setup the C and T ports are interconnected and they are powering a downstream device - the 3pt The T core in the valve is not designed to handle pressures greater than 500-800 PSI and its also the backside of the inlet pressure relief so the...

    Hydraulic thumb adjustment

    Half inch JIC is 3/4-16 UNF thread. Even with a totally blown piston seal the thumb cylinder should produce something around 1500 pounds of extend force. Dan

    Hydraulic hose routing for L275

    It works but Prince would tell you its incorrect. I will forgo the long explantion of why for now. The correct way is to remove the plug in the "C" port and install the optional power beyond sleeve. Then move the hose currently connected to "T" to that sleeve. Lastly run a third hose from the...

    Hydraulic hose routing for L275

    The correct way to plumb the loader valve is with three hoses - the two high pressure lines you have and a separate low/no pressure tank return which on your tractor would go to the cap on thev hydrsulic filler. Post a couple pictures of the loader vslve so we can see if it has a power beyond...

    Hydraulic hose routing for L275

    Thats a DIY plumbing job. You can route NEW hoses of the proper length anyway you want. You seem to be using tank as power beyond. Might want to consuder fixing that. Dan

    Chain hooks

    Dont over think this. If you can weld even remotely well stick some Grade 70 weld on grab hooks to the bucket AND forks. I prefer three as shown below. For a B2601 5/16 (8mm) chain should be all you need. You can turn grab hooks into slip hooks, D rings, or most anything else with a few links...

    How to check if remote is bleeding down

    It does not matter if the tractor is running or not. With the remote valve in neutral the cylinder is held by 1) the seals in the cylinder 2) the spool in the valve. You can eliminate the cylinder by putting an inexpensive ball valve on the rod end hose connection to the cylinder. With the...
