Overtorqued the lugs eh? 😂

I would hope so, at least give me all the filters since I just shelled out $150 for a pail of super udt2. I asked for the regional rep's number but my dealer wouldn't give it to me. Said they'd relay my message to have him call me but I doubt that will happen tbh. At least I got my frame mount...

I'm exaggerating, but after 8 years they're nearly extinct in my area 😂

Haven't seen a hummer since I got married

Got my replacement loader mount today, big shout out to my dealer for pulling one for me from a crated LA535. Yet another curveball in my BH77 install journey. Thankfully this should go on pretty quickly. Will also force me to learn how to remove and attach the loader for the first time.

This one looks like it'll work. Heavy SOB too

So far no luck, I know Kubota won't pay the dealer shit for the repairs so I'll do it solo since I have a good relationship with my dealer and don't feel like waiting weeks for repair. I did ask for the MI Regional Rep's info to complain about this and the hose issue I had when I first started...

Running to my dealer to grab a new loader frame mount this afternoon. Luckily they have a few crated LA535s sitting outside so I don't have to wait weeks for a replacement part. Service advisor said this is the first time he's ever seen this upside down mounting bracket issue. I am going to see...

6-8" wide trench at 1' deep is backhoe or large rental trencher territory if you don't feel like using a shovel. The barreto rental trenchers at HD can do a 4" trench so you may want to rent one from a heavy equipment place that have a wider "chain". IMHO you're not gonna get a clean, level...

Appreciate the photos, they'll be helpful for anyone taking on this project too. Thankfully, I got the hydraulics all sorted out. Now to get a new $2k loader subframe under warranty so I can install my backhoe subframe 😂 I had to rig my hydraulic lines for now to complete the power beyond loop.

Great, thanks, maybe I'll have the dealer order the bracket for me and I'll just DIY. I was planning to torque my loader subframe anyway which will get accomplished when I install the new one.

Agreed, I'm assuming they have jigs for lining up the brackets on the subframe tube, not sure how someone managed to weld it upside down with a proper jig.

That's a shame, guess the quality doesn't match their cars and trucks. Is it correct that you're a tech? How much of a PITA is it to swap that loader subframe? The way I see it, it looks like I have to disconnect the loader, remove the third function valve and box (hopefully without...

Holy shit, this is a $2000 part...

Discovered my backhoe subframe to loader subframe bracket is welded on backwards on one side 😑

From my side, the backhoe has been fine (so far), but Kubota needs to update their backhoe assembly manual and dealer selectivity to either include language for or include the correct hydraulic hose for 3rd function kits. My issue is with my loader now because the damn backhoe subframe mounting...

I agree with you 100% after looking at the LA535 manual and the BH77 install guide. What a joke, must be April fools for me. I MAY be able to talk the dealer into throwing my subframe on as an add-on to the warranty work I'm going to need now to disassemble and reassemble the front loader...

The "drivers side" flange looks fine. The "passengers side doesn't make any sense... There can't possibly be a different loader subframe for a third function kit. Did I get a defective loader frame??

Started taking things apart today.... Installed my hydraulic hoses and went to mount the subframe to the loader frame and noticed the mounting flanges do not line up... What the hell??

Cure the horses of COVID of course.
