    Replacing BX1500 power steering lines

    Not killervexpensive. About $100 for two fittings but they are very application specific. He would have to identify exactly what type hose he is repairing - e.g. R1, R2, or something a bit more exotic ... Dan

    Replacing BX1500 power steering lines

    Power steering pressure is typically around 1200 PSI. On a tractor that size it might be a little lower. Do yourself a favor and replace the hose. Dan

    Right to Repair

    From the new KUBOTAUSA website. Looks like something north of $5K for KOBD license + scan tool and Messicks still says dealers only. https://www.kubotausa.com/parts-service Dan

    B6000 FEL Pump Replacement and chatter

    On a system like that its easy to watch the flow. Remove the tank return and hold it over the tank filler with the engine running. Dan

    LA844 Front Loader won't go up/down

    Check the position of any remote valves and the 3pt control. If they are not in neutral they will block the loader valve. Dan

    B6000 FEL Pump Replacement and chatter

    They are gear pumps and not rebuildable. I think I would be checking suction side strainers and filters.... Dan

    Hydraulic question

    This is an artifact of the way Kubota designs their loader valves. The lift circuit on many Kubota loader valves do not send cylinder exhaust oil to tank. They route it to the power beyond port which puts the lift cylinders in series with all downstream devices. With your remotes shifted out...

    L345DT hydraulic problems

    Pretty common and simple. Hot oil is less viscous than cold oil. That means it requires tighter clearances to generate hydraulic pressure. Based on the fact that all of your systems exhibit a problem suspect #1 is your hydraulic pump. Its likely worn out and loosing pressure when the oil heats...

    PTO Driven log splitter vs. stand alone L3902HST

    I am not a youtube star making sales videos. Just a guy actually using a 3pt splitter for 20 plus years and reporting real life results. You dont need bungees to hold valves open or expensive plumbing if you know anything about compact tractor hydraulics. That's a pure strawman argument. A $30...

    Lift arms won’t stay up.

    Just FYI If the drift stops or slows down some/all of the leakage is through the position control valve. If no change the lift cylinder is indicated. Lift cylinder is a lot easier to fix. Dan

    M126GX hydraulics

    My curiosity was too much to resist so I purchased a copy of the WSM. Here is the lift system circuit diagram. The diagram appears to be a vanilla open center system with the remote valve stack ahead of the 3pt lift and that matches the text description. I will be damned if I can see how that...

    Supply for T&T control

    Yes and my reccomendation: A) Mount your T&T valve to a location of your choice on the tractor B) Disconnect the supply coming to the backhoe outlet coupler and reroute it to the inlet on your T&T valve using new hose as needed. C) Run a new hose from power beyond port on T&T valve to the...
