Have you considered the idea of cutting your wheel centers out and putting them into a new/different blank wheel? Either a new set of blanks, or cut/modify a set of pickup wheels? You could weld them in or mount ears to a blank set of wheels and bolt your centers in like bigger tractor rears...

Those are 16" wheels? Seems like there should be lots of options of the automotive flavor. Remember lsmurphy? He did a nice overhaul of his with new wheels tires. Here's one link that google found. Maybe search for his content here...

I'd probably pull the tank and attempt to clean it out. Do you have any type of instrument to look inside, like a bore scope? Handy tool to have.

Exactly Lil foot, One bite at a time. My tractor and backhoe have paid for themselves in $avings over hiring out or renting equipment, and the satisfaction of doing it all myself is priceless. Long as I don't count my time. :D

Is there any kind of inspection port you can access? Sounds like a linkage or throwout issue more than friction.

Woods used to build a lot of the loaders, backhoes, and subframes for Kubota in the old days. When I built my subframe and brackets, Woods had all the old manuals online to download, but I don't think that's the case anymore. You might contact Woods and see what they have for manuals for...

Congratulations to you both!

If you don't want to replace the fluid, I see nothing wrong with draining and refilling with the same fluid. This of course would require you to assure it does not become contaminated with debris in the process. Clean containers and strain before refill should work fine in my opinion.

If you can figure out what model loader you have, that might help locate a manual. Can you post a pic of the cylinder caps?

I'd go with either 5 or 6 feet depending on your rear tire width and what you can find a good buy on. Mine is 5 and I could pull more. My angle blade is 6 and I can do a smoother finish at a faster speed with that angled and reversed when we're talking driveway touch up.

I have issues with this site as well. Too many ads is my guess. Makes my laptop work pretty hard, fan kicks on high, etc. They think I need a John Deere or an Asian mail order bride for some reason. Nope.:D

I get the same symptom where my loader is slower if the 3 pt is lifted all the way. I suspect the feedback rod on the 3pt is out of adjustment but haven't made time to mess with it. You might look into that in addition to addressing your water in fluid situation. My backhoe runs off a PTO...

Shaun or anyone else with paperwork, can you please post the text of the warranty from Kubota that guarantees the ROPS will protect you from injury in a roll over? People bring up this idea whenever ROPS mods are discussed, future liability and such. I bought a brand new ROPS from Kubota a few...

I wouldn't even think twice about it. Sure, covered is better, but all kinds of equipment sits outside with no issues. I sit mine on two cinder blocks to keep the main body off the ground, outriggers, subframe, and bucket on the ground. Use some wood blocks instead if you are afraid of...

Think that on through for a minute. Tractordata says an L3200 4WD weighs about 2600lbs. A 7K trailer ought to be good for around 5K lbs I'd guess, so you've already got plenty of trailer. A 10K trailer is only going to be heavier, especially if you go longer. I'd look more at the pickup...

I have a manual for the 1200 loader and could not find a weight spec. I believe the K650 is a fairly small backhoe with the telescopic stabilizers? I have a Kubota/Woods backhoe of slightly larger size and no weight spec in that manual either. My 1200 loader will pick up my backhoe/subframe...

How different are the specs?

I like that FTG. I'm an A2 fan myself.

I'm running the pink Fleet Charge from Napa in my Kubota and my Powerstroke.

They go fast if reasonably priced. The first one I looked at, I was fortunate enough to be the first guy to get there. I passed on it due to ram rust, but the owner had at least 10 more guys waiting to see it.
