    L1801 hydraulics problem.

    You're right. Your tractor is missing a whole section of gearbox that is visible in the other pic (probably another gear splitter hi/lo type of thing) and your 3pt pressure feed line has no hydraulic 'block' there. The good news is i don't think your loader valve NEEDS a separate 'power beyond'...

    Kubota b7100 FEL build on a budget

    What i did was put the bucket as far as i ever wanted it to go before those cylinder rods hit, then to account for any flex i backed it up just a little from that, made the 'stops' touch/hit, and tacked them in place in that position. Then fully welded them in that position. It's no big deal...

    Kubota b7100 FEL build on a budget

    Here's what i did to repair a b219 loader that was missing its original stops. Relevant post from other thread.

    L1801 hydraulics problem.

    I agree that if you are going to modify the hard line in any way you might as well reroute it Whoops, somehow forgot about that. I think my brain was assuming it was hard because some of these other things were being discussed that wouldnt normally be considered.. Here’s a pic from another...

    L175 transmission issues

    The shifter being misassembled is an easy fix no matter what. If the shifter has 5 positions (4 forward 1 reverse?) then it has 3 positions left to right, which means it engages 3 different gates in 3 ‘shift rails’. It is possible for the gate to move out of position on the rail if for example...

    L1801 hydraulics problem.

    I agree that if you are going to modify the hard line in any way you might as well reroute it to put the loader valve first, and in series with the 3pt valve, rather than in parallel with the 3pt valve and having the 3pt itself ‘blocked off’ through the descent speed adjustment. That is a...

    L175 transmission issues

    If shifter is ‘in its gate’ then you can feel all the spring forces.. as in if in neutral it pops back to center somewhat, and if you push forward or rear into a gear position you feel the ‘click’ of the detent and it is ‘retained’ in that position, etc. So if you dont fee any of those things it...

    L1801 hydraulics problem.

    I think you might be operating on a misunderstanding. ALL tractor 3pt systems have a relief valve somewhere. A hydraulic system with no relief valve will build pressure until something blows up the very first time you hit the limits of its travel, or exceed its weight capacity. So my question...

    B6100 w/ Loader+Backhoe

    Another nit-picky thing i did to the loader was 'improve' the mounting of the handles on the valve block. I want to say this had a bent nail as the lower 'pivot pin' when i got it, but i had replaced it with a much better-fitting cotter pin until i noticed much later that it looked like it would...

    Kubota b7100 FEL build on a budget

    Cool. Get a side-on shot of your lift cylinder end placements, and did you measure the lift height with it how it is? The factory bucket on my B219 is a 'round back' bucket and i have heard of people making round back buckets using different kind of tanks as material donors, so a while back i...

    B6100 w/ Loader+Backhoe

    Thanks. If i wasn't documenting it I would quickly forget just how big of a project it was. :) Other things i did to the loader: I noticed that unlike the bucket on my 6100, this bucket did not have any 'travel limiter' blocks welded to the bottom of the bucket brackets. Without them, on full...

    B6100 w/ Loader+Backhoe

    Minor cleanup. I have found this small belt sander very useful by the way.. this one was $29 on amazon, i think. Another test fit. Ive seen some machines with a 'bushing' on one side and just a hole in the bracket on the other side, but i dont like that either. Every hole got something on both...

    B6100 w/ Loader+Backhoe

    The B219 doesn't have 'bushings' at its pivot pin locations, just.. holes. Im sure these loaders were not built with the intent to be used for thousands of hours, but Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was the condition of this tractor.. Most the pin brackets were pretty worn and sloppy. I...

    hydraulic rear blade

    A cylinder off a truck-size plow blade will already be the appropriate size as far as rod strength, strength of the mounting points etc so you're probably off to a pretty good start. As long as it's a double acting cylinder! Some plows use 2 single acting cylinders instead and if you only had...

    B6100 w/ Loader+Backhoe

    Moving on with the loader, check out the damage on these hard lines! I actually didn't fix this, although i did think about building a cover for both protection and.. hiding the sins. But towards the end i got in a hurry and just let it be. It doesn't leak.. You can also see the bow in the...

    The first b5100 Delorean

    Gotcha. I like the 6100 setup better than the one posted earlier under the pedal/floorboard area, and given that the 6100 is a later product it's probably because Kubota thought it was better, too. :) If you're willing to deviate from factory here (no deviations on this tractor, no sir! lol)...

    The first b5100 Delorean

    Took this from my B6100 thread so ignore the arrow, but you can see how the diff lock and right side brake return springs are mounted on a b6100/7100 from this:

    Recovered B8200 - Found abandoned

    Since some of those hard lines meet steel blocks at either end of that middle section, it should be fairly easy to repair those by welding fittings to the steel blocks (which will be much easier to weld to since they have a lot more mass) and then just doing some good old hydraulic flare...

    B7100 HST-D R14t Options (Check my math?)

    Any '6 lug 16.5 implement wheel' will work for your idea but i think you already found just about the best price. Just pointing out you get more results using 'implement wheel' as a search term. As far as putting that tire on the 8.25" wheel, it's functionally fine as long as whoever is...

    B6100 w/ Loader+Backhoe

    Not sure if i would consider this part of the 'subframe' but the loader's diagonal supports from the towers down to the front frame section also held some surprises. This is the short front frame section that extends out beyond the front grille. It has 3 threaded holes on each side. These are...
