    Added Rear Remotes and TnT

    I traded that tractor in on a L4240 let me see if I have any other photos of the spool valve mount. It was a custom mount that I designed and fabricated.

    Tractor safety

    those "Uni-Bits" are designed for drilling sheet metal. You might be able to drill some 1/8" thick steel but that is about the max. Use a good quality hole saw and cutting fluid, works best in a drill press.

    Added Rear Remotes and TnT

    I did consider mounting on top of the fender (with added support of course) But with a four spool valve that's 11 hoses. Pretty busy and potential safety factor if you developed a leak. If I was doing it again I'd used a dedicated valve for the top and tilt. A loader type valve with one control...

    L4240 True Third Function Installation

    Thought I'd start a new post for the update on the 3rd function install on my L4240. Well I finally got it all installed and it is a much cleaner installation than the factory setup. I found some space underneath the seat for the solenoid valve. Just needed to fabricate a mounting plate for...

    Weight of Kubota L3800 HST

    My L3800 with loader, backhoe and loaded tires weighs in at 6130 lbs And requires a minimum 18' trailer to get the tongue weight right. Depending on how often you need to tow the tractor you may consider renting a trailer. I move mine from one property to another twice a year. I can rent a 10k...

    L5240 3rd function kit build help!!

    Cool Thanks. I'm kind of surprised that the banjo fittings don't restrict the hydro flow. They look kind of small in the picture.

    L5240 3rd function kit build help!!

    I guess you could just order the part #250 (7K500-64950) for $45 plus shipping that would convert you to JIC I assume. or remove yours cut it and braze the correct fitting on it. I've ordered the factory Back hoe so I'm all set.

    L5240 3rd function kit build help!!

    The factory 3rd function installs directly off of the hydro pump, thus the solenoid valve sub plate contains a relief, tank return, power beyond to the loader and the work ports. Five hydro connections. The loader valve already contains a relief so you definitely want to have your 3rd function...

    L5240 3rd function kit build help!!

    Dixie From what I understand from your starting post is that you want to add a 3rd function and not rear remotes? If it is is a third function will the valve be a solenoid type? If so have you figured out the switch type and location? I ordered a John Deere Joystick grip and switch including...

    L5240 3rd function kit build help!!

    If you look at the PDFs I just posted "hydro supply" #10 feeds the 3pt from the loader valve...Banjo to banjo. Look at PDF "BH Hydro" You need to order # 230 and 250 that will get you converted to hoses. And I think Kubota uses alot of JIC fittings on the hydro systems. You won't know exactly...

    L5240 3rd function kit build help!!

    If you go to the Kubota web site and look under the parts tab you can view the hydraulic hose/tubing routing. I think that they may be hard lines with banjo fittings. I checked and they are. Do you have the factory back hoe? That makes it easier, since the loader valve feeds the backhoe and...
