    B21 "pop/clunk". In drive line?

    No, never resolved. Still seems to happen occasionally. I'll look into it again this spring.

    That looks like it. Thanks. Pricey little thing.

    Replacement Decals/Labels.

    Was looking for a replacement label for B21/TL421, specifically the "directions" lable (with arrows) for the FEL control valve. This one is illegible. While I pretty much know how to operate it, it bothers me and upon occasion I might ask someone to operate the FEL for one reason or another...

    OT ? Converting older Plasma cutter to Pilot arc?

    Some one might know. I have an old Ebay special "Colossal Tech CUT-50D" with the original "touch start" torch. Wanted to convert it to a "pilot arc" as I may be doing a lot of cutting on rusted and painted steel. The cutter does not have a "pilot" connector, but it does have a built in ground...

    Converting WR-long 4 in 1 to SSQA (revisited)

    Must be early. Or something. But not quite following the measurements advice. The "distance" being the length of extension? Say from eye to eye on each of the cylinder? Then after mounting the adapter plate check and reset if needed? I still have to "eyeball" or otherwise determine what...

    Converting WR-long 4 in 1 to SSQA (revisited)

    Yeah. I'm thinking to re-install the ATI on the FEL and mount the adapter plate and line the tractor and the bucket up pretty much as in the pictures, then slice off those ears at that angle as close and high on the bucket as I can get. Gotta sharpen up my plasma cutting technique too. I...

    Everything Attachments - Bankrupt?

    Because they made good stuff? Because now you "pay when it ships"? According to what I have read any way. I have one EA rake bought several years ago and am pleased with it. But I would think long and hard before buying anything else from them. And only if "pay when shipping" is a reality.

    Converting WR-long 4 in 1 to SSQA (revisited)

    I have a B21 for which I purchased an ATI SSQA adapter. Pricey, but very well built, to my amateur eyes. Put it on and tested it with a SSQA attachment I had and loved it. But when it came time to being cutting and welding the WRlong bucket, which has a curved back, for whatever that's...

    BXpanded BH77 Backhoe Quick Attach Video Review

    I know this is a years old thread, but, was thinking of a QA adapter. Have a Bxpanded ripper tooth and am happy with it. However, I have nothing but "rocky soil" and "tree stumps". An email to them via their web site received no response to my question about the situation. Makes no sense for...

    Hydraulic Top N Tilt. Float valve or no float?

    Did you ever get around tuit?

    Hydraulic Top N Tilt. Float valve or no float?

    So, getting back to this, the 3pt dropping is a function of the 3pt circuit, right, not the added TnT controls?

    Reluctant Hydraulic cylinder gland nut removal.

    Got a replacement set of the spanners coming, but for now used a 24 inch pipe wrench to get it loose. Did not mark it up too badly. That's fine for the "Boom" cylinders, but the bucket cylinders have a smaller gland, and not as "thick" so it will be harder to get a pipe wrench on that...

    Reluctant Hydraulic cylinder gland nut removal.

    Need to find a good relatively cheap tool to help remove a cylinder end cap, with "radial" holes, picture attached. I have tools to remove the ones with holes "on top". Seems like Kubota chose hole sizes a bit small for most tools for that cylinder diameter. Bought a "gear wrench" set on...

    Adding Quick couplers for FEL attachments.

    From what I read, .049 is good for 1900 psi, which is marginal for the B21 which can be just under 2100. I guess that is close enough though? But I wonder about "carbon steel" vs stainless. Are the factory lines stainless or plain? Never seem to corrode, so figured they must be stainless...

    Adding Quick couplers for FEL attachments.

    What tool did you use for flares> The Ridgid and some others claim up to 0.035 tubing.

    What is the purpose of the "DPOCV lock valve"?

    Adding Quick couplers for FEL attachments.

    What steel did you use for the hard lines? What flaring tool (37 degree?)

    Need help with grease fitting size on la 1154s loader

    What I ended up doing was searching the internet and Ebazon for zerks to get an idea of how many different threads there are. Then I searched for "kits" that contained ALL of them with straight, 90 and 45 degree fittings. Maybe had to be several kits, too far from my parts shelf to check...

    Is hydraulic pressure deliberately set "low" from the factory or dealer?

    Title says it all. Found the pressure on my B21 to be about 1800 psi and adjusted it to 2000 psi which is the "factory spec". From what I've read it is very common for machines to be found 200-300 psi lower than factory and was wondering why?

    B21, checking hydraulic pressure. Now I am confused.

    Why trust one and not the other? On this and other forms discussing Kubota hydraulics, most say they find the pressure set 200-300 psi lower than rated. Opinions differed as to who and why, some say set at factory, some say dealer, "for safety". Mine checked out, at the input to the TnT...
