    Kubota udt alternative

    This is from the B9600 HST owners manual. At that time Kubota had not yet decided that there was a lot of money to be made in the Orange Koolaid business and was being more intellectually honest. Dan

    Kubota udt alternative

    A 5 gallon pail of Mobil Delvac THF (aka Mobil Fluid 424) is $75-$85 at farm supply stores. It has been around a very long time and is one of the products the B9600 HST Owners Manual listed by name (Mobil Fluid 423 at that time) as an equivalent for UDT. Super UDT2 is a different formulation...

    New member and question on a 3rd function kit

    Put a rear valve on the tractor and a selector switch on the joystick wiring. Loader off or on really wont matter.

    New member and question on a 3rd function kit

    Now you got me started. I already have the electric valve (sans subplate) which I purchased several years ago as part of my "better than OEM" rear remotes project. That's been put on hold because of my health problems. My plans for making the 3rd function part of the underseat valve stack...

    Is this the correct plan for adding a slide valve?

    Its not uncommon to have different size quick couplers and standards on the tractor. Rear couplers are pretty much standardized around 1/2" ISO 5675 with the female half mounted on the tractor. Front couplers are often smaller and different standards. Which gender goes on thd tractor side us...

    New member and question on a 3rd function kit

    That certainly works and is very low cost. I currently have that setup on my L3901. But its not optimal for either 3rd function or rear remotes and I do plan on installing an electric third function (either Summit's or roll my own) and moving the rear remote valves to the rear where plumbing is...

    Double Steps

    Aside from reduced ground clearance I would have zero concerns putting that flex step on any tractor. It simply creates a lower rung and adds nothing in terms of load on the factory step. Dan

    New member and question on a 3rd function kit

    Not much to those kits and I cant imagine it wont work. The only issue might be hose fittings or brackets but I think the likely hood of that is remote and easily dealt wirh if you do encounter an issue. Dan

    Interesting Observation - Fact or Fiction

    I dont know about their level of content but they are definitly running cleaner at cold start up. And that means a longer life expectancy - marginal or not. Dan

    Leaving kubota L3302DT in four wheel drive

    My opinion is its made to run in 4WD for maximum traction and braking. In 30 years the only negative I have observed is accelerated wear on the front tires and that seems to be more pronounced on the new L3901 for some reason. They are down to 20% in just 4 years.... If you are on a dry paved...

    Is this the correct plan for adding a slide valve?

    The connectors have to match both in type and size. Are you talking about hose and pipe fittings or quick couplers? Valves have female ports as ordained by God. Unlikely you will find a hydrauluc snowblower that will run on 6.5 GPM. They require 3 times or more than that. And a word of advice...

    B2601HSD-1

    Thats an intersting one. Is the 3rd function a Land Pride kit? Thats the fly in the ointment. The WSM has a hydraulic schematic diagram for the tractor. The OEM remotes are directly mounted on the rear outlet block using the custom connectors in the kit so thats a given. The BH70 valve has...

    Hydraulic top link help needed

    Your cylinder has SAE-08 ports. One option would be to disconnect the hoses and connect the C1/C2 ports on one of the block type DPOCV valves to the cylinder with a couple 12" hoses. Then connect the old hoses to the V1/V2 ports on the DPOCV. DONE. Dan

    Hydraulic Quick Connects compatible?

    The 1/2" body size ISO 5675 (AG) and ISO 7241A couplers are identical per the specifications. The screenshot below is the requirement straight from the ISO 5675 document. Dan

    Hydraulic top link help needed

    Might be more than you think. Just ask @Runs With Scissors.... The biggest issue is you need banjo fittings that will fit the ports on the cylinder and hydraulic tube to create the proper spacing. Thats why I askef if he already purchased the top link. Easier and probably cheaper to buy one...

    Piston Sleeves

    Any decent engine shop can resleeve a dry sleeved engine at a reasonable cost. Process would be something like: Bore out old sleeves Install new sleeves Bore as required AND then hone to final size and surface finish. FInal sizing is done using equipment like this. The hone is adjustable fixed...
