Hi there,
I just bought a new-to-me L35 with the front loader and the back hoe. It also has the "Laurin Vision Plus Cab" which I'm not sure how I feel about yet, but it is an enclosed cabin with heater, radio etc (I'm a minimalist by nature). It came to me with pretty substantial hydraulic leak that I originally though would require splitting the tractor but after doing some reading I think its probably the hard lines above the transmission (and there's also some hoses for the backhoe that need to be replaced and a leak from the loader control valve which I hope doesn't require replacing the unit).
I would really appreciate some help with this. Any tips would be great. Even removing the cabin seems like a huge pain in the rear. From what I can get from the service manual I got is the ROPS/Cabin has to be lifted off, then the floor lifted off, then I can run the machine and confirm the leaks and have access to repair. One post said the hard lines were a bugger to get in and out and someone said they modified theirs with fittings and some braided line? Is there anything recommended that I do while I have access to these areas? I have split the b7100 before to do a clutch and it was so much simpler and nicer to work on.
I'm just about to go outside and finish welding up a gantry to lift the cabin off. I'll only have room to raise it up about 2-2.5 feet.
Thanks and wish me luck!
