    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    LA650 curl cylinder will only go one way (down)

    I'll be damned, that was it. I couldn't tell these were quick connects they were so filthy. This one had come loose. Thank you so much.

    LA650 curl cylinder will only go one way (down)

    Would the tank return only affect this one cylinder direction? Is this the last one on the valve body? As mentioned the 3 point does work.

    LA650 curl cylinder will only go one way (down)

    I'll try it, although I think the bucket was moving the right direction according to what I *think* the control layout should be (the decal is long gone).

    LA650 curl cylinder will only go one way (down)

    Is it possible something is sticking inside the valve?

    LA650 curl cylinder will only go one way (down)

    is it possible it's always been wrong, somehow? I haven't changed any hose routing since I bought the tractor in December, and I've used the bucket/loader plenty.

    LA650 curl cylinder will only go one way (down)

    At the same time as I noticed my control valve leaking: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/la650-control-valve-leaking.73021/ I also lost control of the curl cylinder. At first I thought this was simply because of low fluid, but I've since cleaned the sealing surfaces and replaced...

    LA650 control valve leaking

    Alright, I'll order 75540-99700, 75540-99800 and 75540-61330 and give it a shot.

    LA650 control valve leaking

    Yeah, it definitely doesn't look like a bad plan to do both. Any resources on doing the seal replacements? just pop the top off and swap things?

    LA650 control valve leaking

    Looks like a bunch of o-rings under that seal plate/spacer are labeled 'D', which looks to correspond to the seal kit 300, if I'm reading this diagram right?

    LA650 control valve leaking

    Lost curl control on the loader, and then noticed I had a decent leak at the raise/lower valve. Not spraying but definitely seeping at a decent rate. What is the repair process here, clearly I need the "seal plate", but should I plan to also get the spool seal kit?

    Fixing hole in side of block

    With the texture of some of those welds, maybe this is actually Godzilla's origin story?

    SSQA adapter

    The "universal" weld on ones are vastly cheaper than the bespoke ones, but you have to cut the ears off your bucket, weld them to the adapter plates and weld in a crossbar between them. You can find the pre-fabbed brackets for most kubota loaders, but they are in the 1400-2000$ range, from what...

    Diesel cars in Europe

    Europe also made the choice to promote/subsidize diesel for many years, but they've rolled that back more recently as the problems with particulates and NOx have proved harder to solve than they expected.

    Building a ballast weight

    The HF quick hitch top hook is pinching a bit, I have a replacement hook arriving tomorrow that should improve the clearances.
