Inline fuse holders are nearly universal and dirt cheap. Dan

That type of problem is often a bad transmission output shaft seal. Dan

Gap fill is diametral clearance. 660 is a paste and not something I would use. 680 is what's on my shelf. Dan

Calibration wont improve the comparitive measurement. I wanted absolute dimensions to try and determine whether bearung fit is supposed to be clearance or interference. I believe that question is now moot - its supposed to be interference. If new bearings are not an interference fit the axles...

Your control valve is not the problem. You have a problem with the hydraulic connections. Dan

And that completes the circle. The OEM parts on the left and right sides are the same. They cannot be different fits unless the engineers botched the fit calculation or one or more of the parts is damaged. Dan

How do you get one of each? Dan

Nobody will ever accuse Kubota of consistency. That hub design has been in use for at least 25 years and all of the older manuals have the same set if puctures and simply say "remove the bearing" with no mention or picture of of the puller. I suppise engineering could have changed the fit in...

Yeah, I have that WSM and its an altogether different design with lots of very obvious sbap rings. But your post prompted me to check the WSM for my L3901. That axke is very similar to the B7800. See the WSM page for the L3901 front axle below. As you can see the bearing retains all of the...

For the third time - what lever are you using to operate the 3pt? Dan

It cpuld mean that or it could nean move it and hold it. What I know is from the very git-go the detent on mine wa very light - just enough to prevent accidentally shifting to float but not heavy enough to hold it there. Now we have a second one behaving like that. Which prompts me to ask how...

The factory manual covers all variants of the B1630 and B1640. It has a full section on "operating in float" but its silent on the detent. It simply says "when operating on hard surfaces like pavement put the control in the fliat position". There is no mention of "detent" anywhere just the...

I bought my tractor used with about 350 hours on ths clock but it was in excellent shape. I have the liader parts and operators manual and will see what it says. I have plowed a lot of snow and backdragged a lot of gravel holding that lever in float.... Dan

That was my first thought but that bearing is a 6304. The only 6305 I can find anywhere is #40 in the other diagram. The outer ring of all of these bearings are presunably clearance fits in the housings to allow for assembly. Its the inner ring to shaft fit thats the question. In the case of...

Kubota online parts shows the L1730 loader in the related units list for a L245. Does the diagram below look fami⁹liar? Look the subframe over for a serial number data plate. May be up under the tractor and covered by dirt/grease.
