    Perventative maintenance tips

    Joe... here is my first stab at posting a picture... Just one note... If the parts to be drilled were steel you could use a magnet to capture any cuttings from getting in to the housing when you drill the top hole... unfortunately it is aluminum:(. So.... I'd suggest taking it apart to drill...

    intermittent problem with FEL ??

    Logan... any chance you could post a pic of your control valve? If it is a Kubota/Husco I may be able to help. I just went through a repair on mine. There is not much to the valve, however if it is the Husco there are a couple of things that you may be able to do to fix the issue. Chech the...

    Welp! Its beeen a while!

    K-Bee, I believe you honed your cylinder. Can you share with us how long the cylinder was and what kind of hone did you use? I have a hone but it is for automotive cylinders.... not long enough to do a loader cylinder even if honed from both ends... Have a great day! Butch

    Guys, Tractor specific for the use of the Kubota Husco control valve:rolleyes:... gotta say yes to some extent. Kubota had a propriitary agreement:mad: with Husco for the B series and most of the L series tractors where the control valves were mounted independently of the tractor itself. They...

    There are just some things that are not covered in a WSM or operator's manual that we stumble upon that make good sense in prolonging the life of our tractors. Now there may already be a thread that I have not uncovered yet that covers this.... so if there is please feel free to redirect me...

    Bazinga!!!! I got it fixed!

    Ahhhh..... it ain't quite dumpster diving. What I did was approach the produce manager and asked him what he did with the fruit pulled from the shelves the night before. That's when he said it went to the dumpster. Right now I save him a trip to the dumpster. I pick up the fruit at 7:30 AM and...

    front tire locking up

    My neighbor experienced a similar encounter with his 4WD L35. We put it in my shop up on jack stands and ran it. We found the wheel was being stopped when it binded (rubbed) against the subframe at full turn. Further inspection showed the stop that was bolted to the axle housing had broken off...

    Bazinga!!!! I got it fixed!

    This is worth a new thread... The Husco valve that has been giving me fits is fixed....once and for all. We x-rayed the monoblock stripped down to just the block.... no cracks, broken pieces, or blocked internal honey comb. So we took the spool and chucked it in a lathe and analyzed its...

    Husco/Kubota Loader/Front Blade Valves

    Seeing as there is not much info out there on the Husco control valve that Kubota used extensively on their equipment I thought it may be a good idea to post this link to the Husco International site. The link has the shop drawings of the monoblock 9210 valve Kubota used. Hope someone may find...

    Anyone Know What This Thing Is?

    Bingo! Skeets is 100% correct as it was positively identified as a variable weight conveyor belt tensioning pully weight box. I ran skeets idea past my brother who worked his way up in the industrial rubber/belting industry and he confirmed he had worked with many of these in the coal fields of...
