Thanks a ton to MagKarl for sending me the 1200 FEL manual. So the conclusion of this story is that the later information simply deletes the backing ring that shows in the early information. For reasons unknown to me the new parts do not use the backing ring as this FEL was originally built. The...

Got the retro designed ROPS for my L245DT. Working on getting it installed now. The "destructions" say the center arm will be set back a little with the ROPS installed. I just hope it is not a "little" enough to make me buy a shorter center arm. ;)

Welcome to the Orange community. So glad you lived to tell it and this story was not a headline about the opposite. My dad experienced the same, "It can't happen to me", because he grew up his whole life on the farm operating machinery of all kinds. He was brush cutting with a bush hog on an...

LOL I noticed the stake cover for a leg pad, did that come with it? lol :D

Oh yea...... "opportunity" lol :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: sorry my tractor is not P.C. lol These cylinders are the original equipment with this 1200 as well as I know anyway. The gland style barrels were all 1200's and the seal kit contents have all fit in the places the others came from...

Yes, the other side looks like you mentioned with a backing ring. My exact configuration was not in the pic you mentioned. Mine is the "gland" style and the groove is deep enough for two pieces so the "backing" method must be what it is. Hopefully I can get a look at the Kubota info on this...

I tore the other side down to see if the seal was intact enough to see how it was stacked in and how it was arranged. It was in good enough shape to add to the confusion. The combo/main seal was facing the pressure as hydraulic principal would work but it was also facing the fluid. The piece...

In the welder discussion I started out with my dad's Lincoln stick welder and did very well. I could weld rust together and make it hold because my old Vega was all rust and I put in some more rusty plates to keep the rear axle under the old rust bucket. Then I went to work for the gas utility...

Well you mention one on the left and one on the right and that is two. What is the third you mention? With two lines there is pressure in and return to the tractor. The thing to determine is which one is the pressure and which one is the return for both the tractor and the attachment. Yes a...

Great thanks I will take you up on that. trofeo@bellsouth.net The specific seal pack is in the end cap of the bucket cylinder and we can't figure out if the concaved side faces the combination/multi-piece seal or if the curved side faces the pressure in a normal arrangement of facing pressure...

I have a couple of toys; a 20" Ryobi and a 14" 40V battery powered Ryobi. It does ok on pine but I need a good Stihl for some bigger stuff I have.

Surely someone has a manual or experience to share here. I talked to a mechanic at a Kubota dealer but we could not find any information on this K-1200 FEL and he had not seen this specific seal shape before, so that didn't help. We discussed our best guesses but I need this right the first time...

I went to the Kubota Corporate site and found the ROPS program to retrofit older Kubota's that were not produced with a ROPS is still supported. http://www.kubota.com/safety/RolloverProtectiveStructures.aspx You can go here and put in your tractor model and serial number and instantly see if...

Ok, so I got the right part numbers from here to order the packing kits for my 1200 FEL on my L245DT and I started on the rebuild only to hit a brick wall. :eek: :eek: :mad: I have built many cylinders so the task didn't bother me one bit but one seal in the bucket cylinder was so badly damaged...

Condolences and comforts to you. So sorry to hear of a loss from careless actions.

So sad to see headlines like this when what is happening is such a good thing like working with the tractor and boating. Good things have risks and to keep the good times, safety has to keep up with the risk. Everyone enjoy your toys and family safely so it doesn't happen in the Orange community. :)

LOL :D Yeah well that info was still good today so I was happy. You know how these lazy parts guys in the dealers want the customer to do all their work for them and then charge full list price for the parts. Well I had to do all the leg work for one such situation and this post got me the...

Welcome to the forum and Thanks a bunch for your contribution with this info. I have been back and forth with multiple dealers and about to have to spend a pile of money but you saved my efforts right here. We just might keep you here...........:D :D :D lol Thanks again.

That whole DPF mess is what I love about my LBZ Duramax..... I have all the current production goodies but NO DPF. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I see that Fiat diesel engine is VM Motori. After getting some more pics I can see the differences now. Plus I see the Itallian background to the build is gaining some big ground. Me thinks we could hear more about them in the future if they keep going like they are now. Time will tell. :)
