    No PTO

    Seems the clutch is not working. I would start checking the electrical connections. Dan

    Stuck steel hydraulic line. HELP REQUESTED

    Its only 1000 watts so I would not have high expectations. They quote 5-40 seconds to attain 800C with the caveat that it depends on part size. DOH! Dull cherry red is 800C. For perspective my wifes blow dryer is 1500w and induction hardening power supplies start around 5000 watts for small...

    B21 complete loss of hydraulic function

    The leftmost fitting circled in red is priority flow going to your PS. Should be oil there with the engine running. A closer look at the pump has me wondering. Is that green area I circled a gap between the pump mounting flange and the engine block? That does not seem right to me.

    Reviving a G1900

    JFYI - improvements in v-belt manufacturing technolgy pretty much eliminated the need for belt matching years ago. For example Gates V80 manufacturing standard meets or exceeds the RMA matching standard (below) right out of the box. Dan

    m8560, 600 hrs service, dealer quoted $960

    As a starting point your tractor holds 15g of hydraulic oil. Going price for Kubota UDT is roughly $30/gallon = $450. Probably another $200 plus for Kubota filters all around and your engine oil of choi,ce = $650. I can easily see it costing $700 for a DIY service with OEM filters and fluids...

    B21 complete loss of hydraulic function

    I popped for a $10 download of the WSM. I only had time for a quick glance on this crappy phone but it looks pretty simple. The pump output is split into PS and implement circuits by the flow divider mounted on top of the pump. Check for inlet oil at the loader valve or the loader supply port on...

    Discontinued Kubota Injector Lines

    Just from the looks of the OEM pipes I had my doubts about brake lines and flare fittings. This is from a shop that fabricates diesel injector pipes: Fuel injection tubing undergoes special processing to insure there is no metal flaking in the ID due to the pressure pulses. For injector pop...

    Discontinued Kubota Injector Lines

    Ummm - lots of guidance in the previous discussion. I believe your diesel shop will be more than capable of meeting the extremely undemanding tolerances. I will be interested in knowing how well they got the tubes bent so the ends match up to the connection points on the tractor. That strikes...

    Stuck steel hydraulic line. HELP REQUESTED

    In my experience on things like that large square block loose or tight does not really matter as long as the jaws are locked. What the pliers really need is a longer lever arm..... Dan

    Stuck steel hydraulic line. HELP REQUESTED

    I like this idea!!! The pipe fitting will come out with a judicous application of BF&I and a 6pt socket + breaker bar will make that easier to apply. Dan

    B21 complete loss of hydraulic function

    AnUnfortunately theres not much info available online for that tractor and the parts diagrams are not informative. The system is clearly different than the ones used on other models. The picture is the pump but what exactly the line is is not obvious. The other nut looks like it may be part ofxa...

    Overheated

    Test the sendinfg unit. My guess is it went south. Dan

    Overheated

    Is this just a gauge issue or does the engine still overheat ? Dan

    L4060 3rd function. Which kit do you recommend?

    One major difference is the Kubota kit can be ordered with an option ($$$) that will operate the latches on the SSQA. You can switch buckets abd forks without leaving the seat. I think there may also be some joystick button advantages with the Kubota option. Otherwise money talks. Dan

    Hydraulic lift does not stay up.

    You would hsve been correct for follow-on models so I understand why you said that.(y) Those early machines had really simple valves..... Dan

    Hydraulic lift does not stay up.

    I dont think there are any friction washers on the B6000 valve. The lever is one piece and solidly connected to the spool via a pinned in place lever arm. Not much to go wrong there. Dan hi

    Hydraulic lift does not stay up.

    Most likely is the piston seal but there are miltiple other possibilties. Dan

    Discontinued Kubota Injector Lines

    You can do a lot with a drawer full of tube nuts and compression sleeves. Dan I say I learned a lot with this question. For example : I learned a lot of the old Roosa Master pumps are statically timed at 1° BTDC because they use the end not start of injection as the reference I learned...

    The cost of getting old

    I feel differently. I hung both of the shop doors myself - 12 x 10 and 20 x 10. Both are insulated and have one full width insulated glass panel. This was the smaller one and I have zero concern with winding the springs on either one then or now. The only tools needed are a socket, two 1/2" x...

    L2502 3 point hitch

    Never had that problem on my L3901. It does sound like the feedback linkage may be misbehaving. Dan
