    Hydraulic block assy & flow issue (lift arm issue)

    Here is a picture of your loader valve with the ports labeled: Pressure IN should be coming from port on top of the aluminum block Pressure out should be going to the port on the side of the aluminum block Tank return should be going to the tee fitting on the top of the transmission. Dan

    Hydraulic block assy & flow issue (lift arm issue)

    The pictures do not tell me anything. In general the connections should be as follow: 1) T on loader valve goes to T on block 2) PB on loader valve goes to whatever port feeds the 3pt. If those two lines are reversed you will not cause any harm but the 3pt will only work when one or both...

    Hydraulic block assy & flow issue (lift arm issue)

    Absolutely not correct. The 3pt should work independent of the loader. Lots of unknowns here but if the 3pt only works when the loader valve is shifted i would guess the tank return and power beyond connections on the loader valve are reversed. Dan

    I understand that perfectly. Dan

    Hydraulic Top Cylinder / Float / Cylinder Lock Valve

    What is the functional difference between a hydraulic top link with float and the solid top link with pivoting linkage I pictured? Not much. Both float but the hydraulic cylinder has a greater range of float. Now that extra float might come in handy if I am backing a bush hog up a steep incline...

    BORA wheel spacers

    I have a lathe and a milling machine and I know how to use both. 8" round 6061 is $50 per inch plus shipping. I could maybe beat the price by a very small amount if I did not account for my labor. I will be buying my set from Bora. Dan

    Fedex says my pump has been received and is "in transit" - last known location Paisley UK. DAN

    Hydraulic Top Cylinder / Float / Cylinder Lock Valve

    Why does float affect spool leakage? I am currently looking at using valve sections from a vendor that like most provides empirical spool leakage data: Spool leakage measured @100Bar., with 27cSt@40C oil viscosity, and operating temperature of 50C: 12 cc/min max, 6cc/min average That...

    Hydraulic Top Cylinder / Float / Cylinder Lock Valve

    I mow plenty of banks - my property is on big bank and i have been mowing it for 35 years with a solid top link. I can see the value of float on a tilt cylinder but top link not so much. I am in the process of engineering remotes for my new L3901 and right now it looks like its going to be two...

    B7100 hst hydraulic problems

    My loader will come off because i also have to split the tractor for a transmission repair. I got a tracking number on Sunday.

    Hydraulic Top Cylinder / Float / Cylinder Lock Valve

    I tend to agree but with a slightly different perspective. My mower and shredder both use the fixed top link but float on their own linkage. Dan

    B7100 hst hydraulic problems

    Yes, I read your old thread. When i put a new OEM pump on my machine years ago even it was a fight. I'm wondering if it might be easier to use a short hose between the block and pump. Edit: I just looked at the B7200 parts book and it appears the block mounts directly on the pump outlet port...

    B7100 hst hydraulic problems

    Same here - order comfirmation but no shipping yet. Give its a weekend not surprising. I will be interested in how your install goes. The pressure side hard line is a banjo connection to the pump and will undoubtedly require some persuasion to get it to line up with the longer pump. I will wait...

    Red or Blue Loctite on blades?

    Plus one on that. I use red for nuts on fasteners (like plow bolts) that dont ordinarily require disassembly. When/if they do an impact wrench spins them right off. I have never needed to heat one to get it off. Dan

    B7100 hst hydraulic problems

    Well I just (accidentally) bought it while attempting to get a little deeper into payment :mad: It's yours for my price (see attached screenshot) and another $14 shipping if you want it. If not I will put it on my B7200 as an "upgrade". Dan PS> If you do buy from them be advised you are not...

    B7100 hst hydraulic problems

    I just took an order for one 5p1/41041gpo pump all the way to CC and the total with Fedex Economy shipping was 98.21 ($136.21). I registered as a business owner - perhaps that is the difference. Dan

    B7100 hst hydraulic problems

    Something os different. Price they are giving me on that pump is 67.81 less VAT. I own a LBC and purchase auto parts from Rimmet Bros and dont pay VAT on thise purchases. Perhaps that has changed after BREXIT. Does your price include VAT? Dan

    New Owner, L3301...looking for more weight in the tail

    Fill the tires - it will give you 500-600 pounds of optimally placed ballast. An 01 with a loader and no ballast is a really poor and unstable configuration that dealers should never allow out the door. Kubota also did the customers a disservice when they decided to only provide wheel weights...
