Adding rear remotes to 2000 l2500DT

[Carter Cummings]

I have a 2000 l2500DT without a loader that I’m wanting to add rear remotes for hydraulic toplink and tilt functions, etc. Is there a way to add them without using the power beyond port on a loader? If so is there a kit for it. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t for the life of me figure out how to do it

You would add a block like this (long obsolete):



So a much easier way of doing it is to get a couple Swagelock fittings, or have fitting welded to this line and tap into the hydraulics.

Gotcha. Thanks a lot. So would I guess I would need to tap in both the supply and return lines? A swagelock T going to both line 110 and 020?

No you don’t Tee into any line. And you could probably get that block machined instead of the swagelock fittings. Either way will work.

You want to cut the pump output line in two at one place. Then the pump side gets an elbow and goes to the remote valve power in port. That valve should have a power beyond sleeve installed. A hose from the PB sleeve then goes back to where you cut the line and an elbow is attached to the hose and the cut line.

See this thread for a DIFFERENT model block to tap into the hydraulic line. If you get a block machined you will need to match the bolt mount location and the face machining. The difference is that the fluid flow just passes through the existing block (like a strange piece of pipe) while the new block diverts the flow out of the block for a hose connection, then back into the other side of the block. Look at post #1 for the diagrams. I would avoid NPT ports on the block if I were getting one machined.

You are going to need metric compression fittings (DIN) if cutting the lines.

Or yoo can order the OEM hydraulic outlet block from Kubota - a mere $323.

ahh. Thanks! It’s making sense now so would the link that Dan posted for the oem Kubota block work with my l2500dt without modifications?

 

[Russell King]

I am pretty sure Dan got the correct part number but I don’t KNOW that it is the correct part number.

You can look at it yourself or ask the dealer to look it up.

I assume that Dan looked at Messicks at your tractor model. Then look at the attachments section and locate the loader that fits your tractor and look through the hydraulics sections until you locate that area of the tractor.

When I did that at Messicks I got to the same part number. BUT when I did it at Kubota illustrated parts list I did get to a DIFFERENT part number = 75541-68110 instead of the 75546-68110 number that Messicks showed. So I would get the dealer or Messicks to find the part number so you can return it (Messicks won’t pay the return shipping as far as I know).

Yep Dan got it right!
When I looked it up I must have transposed numbers and got a not available.

I believe you looked up the optional rear remote outlet block.

I looked up the front outlet block for the LB400 loader. I can make that front block for one tenth what Kubota wants. All I need is a couple dimensions off the flange.

I was looking closely at the diagram that NIW posted and noticed something odd at the supply line from the pump at the terminal end. There is a marked picture below that shows a plug (yellow) in the cover and two o-rings between the cover and the pipe end which also has two holes (blue) in it. The odd things to me are:
1) why have the cover since the pipe end is usually used to clamp the pipe to the tractor port?
2) why have a port on the cover with a plug in it?
3) why have two holes for ports in the tube end instead of just one supply?

I always wondered why Kubota didn’t have an add on block to tap into the hydraulic line here instead of the rectangle block installed in the supply line so I am thinking this may have been some sort of hydraulic tap point but don’t know for what. Perhaps just a pressure test port?

Do either of you know what that is all being supplied for?

The flange on the end of the pipe has two through holes for attaching bolts and two hydraulic ports.

The cover connects the two ports together. I assume the plug is used to close the criss drilled passage that connects the ports.

The optional loadef outlet block replaces the cover. It does not connect the ports on the flange. Instead it has two external ports that provide pressure out and pressure return for a loader just like the block used on the B7100 snd your L185.. Trivial to make one - more like $35:rather than $350. All I would need is accurate dimensions for the hole layoutv or the OEM cover to measure myself.

The block in the above picture is and loop.
It lets oil flow from the incoming pipe fitting, through the block, and back into the three point cylinder control.
The port in the block cover is from them machining a cross connection between the ports.
