Thank you for the explanation. I looked harder into the tractor parts list and see that the FEL valve is there now. I see how it is installed and understand the piping now. Now the hard part will be to remember the information!

Look at 3M work tunes that come in a few different versions of just connect to phone or also with radio receivers. They also have a microphone for phone (if you can remember which button to touch to answer).

@TheOldHokie I am a bit confused about how the FEL hydraulics are actually attached to the tractor. I had assumed that Kubota had the block style connection points on the L3560HSTC (and that made an ass out of me!). But I looked at the diagrams of the tractor and the LA805 loader and it...

I think you have to remove the bolt and nut that is on top at the centerline of the tractor near the hitch. They hold that pin in place. When removed the pin should be able to slide back and forth. But then you may have to remove one rear tire to get it all the way out. If you are lucky the...

Most Kubotas are open circuit systems until they get large and more industrial/commercial type tractors. That means that these open circuit systems will have a power beyond sleeve in most additional valves (FEL, rear remote,…). The exceptions would be the backhoe valve and the 3rd function...

I think the simple way to get this done would be to locate the two hoses that tap into the tracror hydraulic circuit. One would be going into the P port of the FEL valve. The other would be connected to the PB ada sleeve in a T port. BUT there is also another hose connected to another T port...

You probably do NOT have a hydraulic rear remote on the tractor. BUT you do have a single hydraulic output line that goes to the backhoe. There is also a hydraulic return line from the backhoe to the tractor. If you have ever removed the backhoe you should have had to remove two hose...

You might want to see if the clutch is receiving a steady voltage signal or if it cuts off and on.

Just be careful when you are installing it. There have been stories about people hooking them up reversed. Cable color is not always correct on old machines and I think Kubota sometimes used black positive cables and bare ground straps. If it was me I would look at the existing cables and...

See this thread for the adapter block that replaces the cover on the block under the seat. Post #1 has a good diagram showing how the flow path is diverted by the adapter. It really doesn’t change the flow path, just sends it to the backhoe before going back to the same point on the tractor...

Changing the PTO speed range and running the engine slower will probably make the engine work harder and overheat faster due to changing the place on the power curve of the engine that it is operating at.

You may want to clean the evaporator coil that is inside the cab. They supposedly get clogged up and that gives symptoms similar to your description (if I recall correctly). The coil is under the headliner in some tractors and in others it is underneath the seat. (I have no idea which you have).

I would think it has a fuel issue like biological growth that is clogging up the filter and lines. I would drain the fuel out of the tank through a paint strainer and see what comes out, if anything. Probably change filter or at least examine how the fuel flow is coming out to the injector...

Here is a link to information on the adapter block that NIW mentioned. It shows how to tap into the tractor hydraulics if the block is present. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/b7100-hydraulic-block-diverter-70060-00360-or-70070-00385.56471/

Oh, sorry, they really don’t have 14 inch high ramps like you need. I just saw this in the filter section. But when you select that filter you only get four similar to these:
