JIC is just a 37 degree flare fitting and one of the most common types of hydraulic hose connector. Female swivels have a UNF thread and 37 degree female cone seat. Rigid male fittings have a UNF thread and 37 degree male tip. The male cone seals against the female seat and UNF threads make...

Discount Hydraulic hose charges $10 labor to crimp plus parts and is the cheapest going. House brand R16-06 hose is $2/ft, import FJX-06-08 swivel end is $4 and import FJX90-06-08 swivel end is $8. A 6' hose with one short drop 90 and one straight swivel works out to $35 and change. My local...

I was not talking OEM - I was talking aftermarket. You can put 4 new Prince cylinders on that loader for the price of one Kubota cylinder. I know because I just did mine a couple years ago. Simple drop in replacement. Dan

Sounds like a shaft seal. Its not a high skill job to replace but if you are not familiar with the job it may be beyond your ability. Got to take it apart so I would do a complete overhaul if it were mine. Or simply purchase a new replacement for $100 and save yourself the work. Dan

Surplus Center offers hose with your choice of male pipe or JIC female swivel ends. Kubota hoses for the B and L series machines are typically 3/8" R16 with JIC-08 swivel ends. You may find some of your OEM hoses have 90 or 45 degree JIC ends on them. You wont get those premade but you can...

Buy them pre-made if you can. Surplus Center sells NRP Jones hose assemblies at can't be beat prices. I make my own and I can't match their cost. Dan

If I understand everything now works except for the third function cylinder. Have you checked the operation of the spool in the third function valve? It sounds like it is not shifting in response to the electrical controls. Depending on model you may be able to manually operate the spool via a...

I am happy🥳🥳 i would also add the same is true of conventional oils. The Wolfs Head MS/DG Grandad poured into the old Ford tractors could not hold a candle to a modern SM/CF oil in any application. If the API service class meets or exceeds the OEM specification its good to go. Dan

Wonder if she's using the right grade? If she would like to change my oil she can use whatever grade she prefers. Dan

So in other words its the typical unsubstantiated FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt) that is almost always floated in these debates. Dan

I can't believe a professional hydraulic shop could not diagnose and fix that problem. The leak down was obvious and the port relief should have been near the top of their suspects list. Put them on the Do Not Call list. Dan

The most common form of multi-spool directional control valves have the spools arranged in parallel. When multiple spools ate shifted together the oil supply flows to the actuator with the lowest load and the more heavily loaded actuator stalls and hydraulic pressure is equal in all actuators...

Aircraft lubricants are subject to very specific and stringent certifications as are the fasteners and materials used in their construction. In general turbine and turbo prop engine oils are all synthetic Light aircraft gasoline engine oils are all mineral based. That said tractors don't...

All a port relief is is an adjustable pressure setting that only effects the one cylinder. Can't say if it is related to your problem. Dan

WAG - port relief pressure setting. Dan

Tightening torque for JIC-08 swivel nut is 45 lb-ft. Dan

What does it say on this Kubota engine oil label? All Kubota cares about is the service classification (currently API CF) and OCI. How it is blended is of no concern. Dan

You miss my point entirely. Try and read the original post Regardless of viscosity grade the physical and chemical properties of synthetic oil are superior to conventional oil. A modern conventional is almost always blended using a Group II base stock. Its sole advantage is cost. It requires...

BMW is very much committed to the use of synthetic oils in all of their products. They currently specify: BMW C-SAF-XO SAE 75W90 for use in the final drives of ALL motorcycles built after 1970. It is a synthetic oil. Perhaps you have a seal that needs to be replaced.... Dan

On a B7200 you do. Drive the cross pin out of the rear yoke and the drive shaft will slide forward allowing the ujoint to come off the transmission output shaft. Drop it down and withdraw the other end from the front differential. This one came out on its own when the worn joint jammed against...
