The HST is designed for hydraulic control of forward, reverse, and braking. Dan

I live MD and all semi-annual emission inspections are performed by dedicated state owned and operated inspection facilities. There are 24 x 7 "self-service" kiosks in addition to manned "full service" stations. For self service you simply drive up, pay the fee, plug the car in, and wait for...

You cannot get metering with conventional solenoid activated valves. Line restrictors can reduce max flow rate but its still all or none. Adding manual rear remotes to a L3400 is childs play Purchase the valve of your chouce. It needs to have power beyond and tank return outlets. It can have...

You missed a lot and are conflating third function with rear remotes. All of the third function valves operate the same.They are open center D03 solenoid operated industrial valves with one inlet and one outlet. Flow circulates constantly through the open center except when the valve is...

U dont know what manual you have. This is from the L2501 operators manual - any LLC.

Should be s piece of cake for a guy with a lathe. . The crankshsft pulley on my DT had three theaded holes for mounting a splined male hub. Just turn up a keyed hub to replace the splined Kubota hub and hang the pumo on the frame. Simple and well protected. Easier than the other fabrication...

Torque values and assembly/dissasembly procedure should be documented in the WSM. Dont leave home without it. Dan

This strikes me as a solution looking for a problem. Have you considered the possibilty the hood is whats "off center" or that it really does not matter? Dan

The only "requirement" in my manual is an ELC. Pick your favorite color/recipe. Dan

Yes - all diagnosed by simply observing the spool movement. Dan

The OP reported early on that the problem started with the boom spontaneously lifting. Now, for the analytically inclined - what can cause that? AFAIK not a bad coupler or a neutral circuit problem. AFAIK that could only happen if the spool is shifted out of neutral or does not return to...

More precisely when for any reason the 3pt valve does not center it blocks the neutral circuit. Since most Kubita valves have serial spools on the boom that blocks the return flow from the lift cylinders preventing the boom from going up or down. That does not appear to be the case here.

Dont see anything obvious in the (excellent) pictures. Do you see the two rods that come out of the valve body? Those are the "spools" that control hydraulic flow. Move the joystick handle back and forth from raise to lower several times while watching the leftmost spool. It should slide in...

No proplem. Post a good picture or two of the loader control valve and joystick control lever. Dan

Creeping up is uncommon. Have you checked and laid eyeballs on the operation of the boom spool? Dan
