    PTO to Electric Pump 3pt hitch sprayer conversion. DIY works great!

    Hello all. I got REALLY tired of replacing 3pt hitch PTO driven sprayer pumps. One year, maybe two and they were trash. Even flushing them out, buying stainless steel ones, nothing would last. Glyphosate (Roundup) is apparently very corrosive along with many other herbicides and fertilizers...

    Drill press help

    So I took a punch and hammered the collar loose by turning it counter clockwise. Continued hammering until it forced the chuck off as well. I can't find a chuck with a threaded collar so I'm just going to order a plain 33 Taper keyless chuck. Thank you all for the help and advice! I have...

    Weird loader hydraulic problem. Help me figure it out please!

    I finally figured out my problem with the help of a local mechanic. There is a lever that actuates something inside of the 3pt lift hydraulics that tells the tractor where the hitch arms are in their travel arc. Anyway this lever was corroded stuck and making the hitch arms do all kind of wacky...

    That chuck looks exactly like mine except mine has a collar. I'm now thinking the "C" stands for "Collar"?

    "C" instead of "6" . The writing on it is getting pretty faint.

    Drill press help

    I did see after more looking online, that the collar may be threaded and attached to the chuck. If so, it seems it holds the chuck to the arbor and can assist in releasing the chuck from the taper. But I don't think I'm going to start banging around on it just yet until I get some more advice...

    I see no slot in the quill. I'm wondering what the collar is above the chuck?

    Drill press help

    Hello, I know this isn't a Kubota question, but many of you are super knowledgeable about shop tools so I didn't know who else to ask. I have a used Wilton drill press and would like to change the chuck for one with a 5/8" capacity and keyless as well. My existing chuck says "6330 33 Taper" Not...

    I will check that, but loader problem manifesting itself no matter where 3 pt is positioned.

    Weird loader hydraulic problem. Help me figure it out please!

    I attached a gauge to one of the quick disconnect ports. 2400 PSI. So, no problem with the pump. I then removed all lines and put the loader valve on the bench and disassembled the side that controls the loader boom. I found one small spring in the "float" section of the valve that is near the...

    Weird loader hydraulic problem. Help me figure it out please!

    I was able to remove the transmission strainer and it was clean as a whistle. Tried to order loader valve parts from Messick's but the person on the phone suggested I first try to switch the hoses on the valve, ie, put the loader arm hoses on the side that runs the bucket and vice-versa. Need to...

    Weird loader hydraulic problem. Help me figure it out please!

    I found location of the transmission strainer. It's hard to locate, so my guess is it has never been cleaned as far as I know. The cap that holds it in place is stuck. I have ordered a 26mm 6 point socket (none available locally). I am borrowing a large impact wrench from a friend to attempt to...

    Weird loader hydraulic problem. Help me figure it out please!

    I don't have a service manual for the tractor. Would anyone know where the hydraulic strainer is located? The two filters were changed less than a year ago. Thanks!

    Weird loader hydraulic problem. Help me figure it out please!

    Umm, shouldn't have counted chickens before they hatched! Loader has reverted to previous behavior. Uncouple hoses, recouple and loader seems to work fine except I don't think it is quite as strong as before problem. I am not able to lift the tractor front wheels off the ground with either the...

    Weird loader hydraulic problem. Help me figure it out please!

    I installed two new sets of couplers for the loader arm lift cylinders. All functions seem to be back to normal after an hour our so of operating the tractor and loader. Thanks to all who replied and especially the person who diagnosed the bad couplers!

    Weird loader hydraulic problem. Help me figure it out please!

    I ordered two sets of the standard couplers. I am thinking this may fix the problem. Hydraulic system should be clean, complete fluid swap a year ago along with filters. Once I receive the couplers and swap them, I will report back if that fixed the problem. Thanks to all who replied. Hopefully...

    Weird loader hydraulic problem. Help me figure it out please!

    Amazon has the flat-face couplers, although they are more than double the price of the Pioneer - style ones.

    Weird loader hydraulic problem. Help me figure it out please!

    Thank you for the flat face suggestion. I think those are the newer-improved style on newer equipment.

    Weird loader hydraulic problem. Help me figure it out please!

    The tractor only has one loader block. If the hoses had been switched, I don't think it would work fine for a while then quit working. I think WhiteTiger may be correct, the couplers may be going bad. Any ideas where to get the couplers at a decent price? Sorry it took so long to reply, my email...

    Weird loader hydraulic problem. Help me figure it out please!

    New forum member. I have a L3010HST with a quick attach front end loader using Pioneer-type couplings. The loader will roll the bucket just fine with plenty of speed and power but all of a sudden the loader arm function quit working and will only go down using the "Float" lever position. The...
