    Looks OEM to me but you are missing the right rear tail light. Does that tractor have turn signals? Dan

    Kubota b7100 possibly need to replace glow plugss

    On my B7200 one if the three is partially obstructed by the manifold. The other two can be accessed with a deep well 1/4" drive socket. Consequently only 2 of three have been replaced Kubota uses standard NGK glow plugs. Take one out and look at the number on it. If you are having hard...

    Snowplow hydraulics hook up

    There are different styles of couplers so check what style and size male tips you have on the plow before buying the female halves. If you are going to use the rear outlets I would replace the hoses on the plow with longer ones that will reach the rear outlets. The difference in cost of two...

    FWIW steering line failure.

    That thought did occur to me. Sometimes those runs are tight snd make sharp turns so might have to reroute it.. Or perhaps just cut the bad section off snd replace with new tube or a short hose. Dan

    Yes but apparently specifically made to have same (or close enough) retracted length as OEM. Dan

    Another Battery Change, Another Dead ECU

    Thanks!!! Good to know Kubota has addressed this specific problem. I have printed that out and stapled it to the warranty info I got with my L3901. Dan

    LA302 Lost Bucket Roll Back Function

    When I say bypassing it means pressurized oil entering the rod end is migrating past the seals and going out the base end without building pressure. It appears you are not getting enough pressure to curl the empty bucket so that's a pretty bad leak. If you are getting pressurized oil flow out...

    LA302 Lost Bucket Roll Back Function

    I went back and reread this post. I did not pay ebough sttention when I saw you were disconnecting hoses at the cylinders. My apologies- your second test is basically what I wanted. If you got flow out of the base end of the right cylinder and the cylinder did not move the cylinder is...

    LA302 Lost Bucket Roll Back Function

    Let's start over. Please do just this one test. Go to the valve where the male disconnects on the hoses are plugged into the female disconnects on the valve. Identify which one of the hoses goes to the base end of the rod cylinders. Disconnect JUST THAT ONE hose from the male quick connect...

    LA302 Lost Bucket Roll Back Function

    You got it and yes terminology gets very confusing. Power the supply side portion of the cylinder work circuit with the "return side" open to atmosphere and you get durect observable confirmation of flow and cylinder movement. Dan

    LA302 Lost Bucket Roll Back Function

    I was trying to keep this simple and definitive. Not combative just frustrated by the level of confusion being introduced. If you disconnect that return side hose and observe oil flow you have DIRECT evidence of what's happening in the circuit: If you get flow and cylinder movement you KNOW...

    OK - I have provided my input. Now you help the man fix his loader. Dan

    LA302 Lost Bucket Roll Back Function

    Disconnect ONE hose and you test both quick connectors and the cylinders. Why is this so hard to understand? Dsn

    LA302 Lost Bucket Roll Back Function

    If you remove just the return hose at the male coupler you get all of that and more in one simple test: If you get flow and no movement one or both of the cylinders is bad. If you get no flow the supply sde coupler or spool is bad If you get flow and the bucket curls the return side coupler...

    LA302 Lost Bucket Roll Back Function

    He moved the male couplers snd nothing changed. I dont think we learned anything of value. If we verify hydraulic flow through the bucket couplers we learn a lot. Dan

    Anyone try these (BX tractor upgrade)?

    There are multiple cylinders to choose from go get me the meadurementvI asked for and I will point you to a specific one. The actual geometry of cylinders varies by design and different loaders may be more sensitive to differences than others. Several years ago I replaced the cylinders on a...

    LA302 Lost Bucket Roll Back Function

    Edit - sorry wrong post quoted but zi am not going to fix it If you dont go hog wild by holding the valve open a shop rag will control the mess. Dan

    LA302 Lost Bucket Roll Back Function

    Yes there is a very real chance. Thats one of the possibilities the first hose test would rule out. Dan

    Anyone try these (BX tractor upgrade)?

    According to the WSM the stroke on the stock lift cylinders is 12.8". You can get a pair of off the shelf cylinders with 1.75" bore and your choice of 14" or "16" stroke for less than $400. They will increase lift height and lifting capacity. With the buckrt lowered and sitting flat on the...
