here is a picture from the referenced thread: (you may have to scroll up/down to see the full image…)

Cut and past this link at the bottom of post 9 into your browser. It works for me in two different browsers. The line with the orange letters…

This is a question that has been asked many times and for which there doesn’t seem to be a quantifiable answer offered. (Yes I know it can be calculated 😉). Nobody can disagree that adding spacers increases the stress on the real axles and bearings and whatever. The question is how much? And if...

Well, you saw it start and run once. What do you gain by running it further without having the radiator hooked up to the engine, and the cooling system filled? Seems like you could make a temporary set up fairly easily. Or even maybe block the exit point from the block and fill the block with...

Check out the following thread. There are pictures there showing how the three-point hitch backhoe hooks up to the three-point hitch of a tractor. Basically that horizontal bar that has what looks like a hook on the end, goes over a pin in the three-point top link,, and then a second pin goes...

edit: I couldn’t remember where I got the following drawing, but after posting it I see it’s on page 51 of the operators manual linked to above… I have a BL 4690A, and haven’t looked at the operators manual for a while. Got interested this morning after reading your post…🙂

You likely need a heavy duty top link bracket since that is a three-point hitch backhoe. You can download the operators/parts manual here: https://kubotabooks.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=Backhoes/&file=B4672A%20BL4690A.pdf

I agree you stole it! But tell us more about your duel wheels on the B6000. How long have they been used? I’m only asking because everybody gets excited if you add two or 3 inches to your rear wheels using wheel spacers, the claim is that you’re sure to break an axle or something like that. We...

I’m trying to make some sense of this. I found it very interesting. Seems like the solution would’ve been to change the thermostat to one that opens at higher temperatures… Sounds like the water pump was so powerful that the ability for a thermostat to control the temperature of the engine was...

Yes, but in that case the engine would run hot, rather than too cold.

Simplicity vs complexity. As soon as you cut it free, you have to worry about holding it in place properly, and so on and so forth, before you weld. If it is held in place by the bottom of the tubing, and if the tubing doesn’t look like it’s distorted too much to the left or right side, which...

Looks like the axle for the anti-scalp wheels might also need straightened. I have a welder so I’d be in favor, if it was mine, to cut that tubing, top and side pieces, but not cut the bottom piece of the tubing, and then force the front piece of the tubing down until the tire touched the flat...

To me the above description doesn’t make sense. I think the blue text should be replaced with something like was too cool going back to the engine.

Fried1763… I’m starting to get the impression you’re a pessimist! 😂 BUT you do keep bumping Joe’s posts to the top of the list, so that’s a positive…

Are you related to Runs With Scissors by chance?

Hard to say what the actual true compression is for certain. Looks like the test meter is a set from Harbor freight or equivalent. Who knows what the true PSI value actually is? Need a trusted, calibrated meter to be sure. At least it shows equal compression in all three cylinders, as of the...

VERY risky to use a 3PH backhoe without a heavy duty top link bracket. Can’t be stated too many times…

looks to me that he does have the heavy duty top link bracket. I lightened up the picture a little bit. it appears to be exactly the same as mine. edit: BUT I forgot that the OP has an L 3400. Mine is a B series. I’ll try to add a second photo here that shows what the heavy duty top link...

LOL... I was thinking the same thing. When young I was often waiting for something I really needed! Actually rather than waiting, I took an active approach... Got lucky often (almost) enough though... :ROFLMAO: Almost...yea right...perhaps occasionally is more accurate...
