User @North Idaho Wolfman emailed me a Workshop Manual for the L185 series all the way up to the L355 series. Its a 63 page document. As I perused eBay looking for various L305 related stuff, I came across a listing for a WSM specific to the L295/L305/L345/L355 model tractors. It had this as...

Regarding the expander and sizer for the piston seal, are you saying they are not necessary? I am on the fence of DIYing my FEL and backhoe cylinder rebuilds. I have the means to do it, but I don't have any of the necessary tools for the piston seal installation like what I have seen used in...

I realize this sold, but can you share what you installed for a roof on this tractor? I really like the look of that unit on that tractor. Im looking for something similar for my 305 of similar vintage. Thanks, Evan

I just bought the same tractor. My first. I browsed for months, nothing but junk and overpriced rebuilt well used machines. Found one with 1200 hrs, new rubber, and new dual disc clutch. Had zero idea what i was looking at as far as if it was the right model for me, but it had a loader and a...

Answering my own questions and posting for future knowledge. Called Woods and they sent me the installation instructions for the subframe I need (which I payed $20 for yesterday on eBay and is enroute via USPS from NY.....) and the instructions confirm fitment with FEL subframe.

Well I made an offer on the subframe that I need and Messicks said that Kubota still shows (2) of the front subframe mounts in stock, so ordered those along with some cylinder rebuild kits I need for my FEL attachment cylinders. They could not tell me if the inventory quantity through Kubota's...

Ok, so I changed the thread title and am bumping this up, I also edited the first post, because I am no longer looking for info on if they are compatible. I have located a brand new subframe model 4531, and it is surprisingly reasonably priced. It does not include the mounts. Are there any...

I cant believe it was so difficult to find the info, but I finally found that the proper subframe for the L305 is L4531. The subframe on this unot for sale is a B4522H. Given the difficulty of fabbing new mounts (not so much hard as it is just time consuming) and the unknown as to if this...

Thanks NIW. Will backhoe subframes install along with the 1720 FEL subframe, or is it one or the other? I found the different subframe options searching on my phone browser (Messicks) and also now know the model of this subframe based on further photos from the seller. It doesnt appear to...

As would I. Just seeing if the hive mind has actual knowledge of this specific unit and how it all works. A spacer could be present internally to physically keep those rods from retracting any further, but probably unlikely.

I do understand that the bucket stops keep the cylinders from retracting any further and in normal use, those rusty rods will not retract through the cylinder head seals. I am curious if the cylinder will physically retract further if it wasn't limited by the bucket stop?

Thanks.

Thanks Dan. The right side attachment cylinder is leaking from the head. Makes a mess. Was thinking to just rebuild them both while the bucket is off. I hadn't considered new, probably not a bad idea given the condition of the rods. I'll do some research on that. I wasn't aware of NPSM...

Kind of a simple/silly question, but reading through the manual I have and also scouring the internet, I cannot find any info on the fitting type or size for the 1720 hose to cylinder connections. I want to take the cylinders off for a rebuild and want to have caps & plugs on hand before doing...

Second project with my new to me l305dt was making access to the back lot of my property next door. This ramp is temporary so that i can hopefully start receiving fill dirt and will eventually build permanent access along the fence line. Baby steps. I must say, life is better with a tractor!

Following along with this thread, I'm looking to do the same with a new to me L305DT with L1720 loader. Right now, I think this is the best way to go (cut out the back of the bucket and weld to quick attach brackets and put a new plate and receiver on the bucket itself) One thing I would...
