    B26 TLB - What is this hydraulic 'thing'?

    Everyone agrees this Cross hydraulic valve (whatever it is) is aftermarket. I'm talking to my tractor dealer (while they have the tractor apart) to get all the information I can on where the connections (3) are going. It also seems to be consensus that where there is one flat faced connector on...

    B26 TLB - Broken rear axle

    My dealer's service manager indicates the broken axle is the only casualty of this incident. Bearings and gears do not show any signs of damage. And they have inspected the other axle also saying that one shows no signs of wear. So my decisions shortly will be whether to replace the second...

    B26 TLB - What is this hydraulic 'thing'?

    Yes, it is. I try not to drive over stuff that would impact that hose. It does seem to be a 'liability'.

    B26 TLB - What is this hydraulic 'thing'?

    I am pretty sure the bracket has to do with storage of the three point hitch arms (which I don't have). I never really considered that this could have been a 'mod' by the previous owner. Perhaps the flat face coupler would be capable of providing hydraulics for a third function on the loader...

    B26 TLB - What is this hydraulic 'thing'?

    Does anyone with a B26 TLB have this 'device' on their tractor? Anyone know what it is or what it does? On mine, this is located on the subframe on the right side. It has three hoses and seems to be connected to the transmission block and the backhoe. The 'actuator' is connected to nothing...

    B26 TLB - Broken rear axle

    The 'device' is definitely a totally different subject from the broken axle issue. So I'll post that in a separate thread.

    B26 TLB - Broken rear axle

    I needed the backhoe to get the tractor aligned for pickup by the roll back truck. The dealer requested I leave the backhoe and bucket attached in case they needed them also. Dropping the subframe is likely something a bit beyond my current capabilities. Plus, if anything odd shows up while...

    B26 TLB - Broken rear axle

    I have no specifics on how the tractor was used before I purchased it. There are some indications is was NOT treated gently (broken plastics, bent boom lock lever, missing boom lock pin, broken brake linkage on one side. I also have no idea if the hydraulic fluid was ever changed. The original...

    B26 TLB - Broken rear axle

    Re: Improper outrigger support while digging? Guilty! Infrequent and generally minimal. Is it a best idea to ALWAYS use the stabilizers AND the bucket to support the tractor, rather than front and rear wheels, when using the backhoe? Obviously that's what the stabilizers are for. But, I didn't...

    B26 TLB - Broken rear axle

    You could ask the folks at motorsport-tech.com where I purchased the spacers. Their website doesn't provide a comparative capability, just a selection of vehicle. If the wheel sizes are the same (which I suspect they are), then there might be a chance the spacers would be the same. I haven't...

    B26 TLB - Broken rear axle

    Many thanks to all the respondents to date. Particularly to 'hagrid' for the metallurgical commentary. I'm under no illusion that Kubota would offer up anything. But as Jimmyjazz implied, it doesn't hurt to ask. My conclusion from the comments is that I will forgo the wheel spacers after...

    B26 TLB - Broken rear axle

    About ten days ago while repositioning my B26 TLB digging a trench, one of the rear axles broke. The break was just inside the transmission case. This means that a lot of UDT2 hydraulic fluid was dumped on the ground. For reference, this is a 2011 B26 TLB with 943 hours. I bought it used in...

    B26 Suggestions and Recommendations Wanted

    Do the factory painted filters have any label or printing on them or are they just the solid color? The ones I removed had no indication there was ever any labeling or printing on them. They were just the solid gray. Whether the filters were original or not is of course a moot point now. I...

    B26 Suggestions and Recommendations Wanted

    About a year ago I purchased a 2011 B26 TLB with about 840 hours. It was reported to have been used in Maryland by a utility company. Everything works mostly and the machine has been very useful. I use it on my 3.7 acre property to move dirt and tree trunks mostly. I changed the engine oil and...

    Stupid brake adjusting nut!! B26

    Thanks to both GreensvilleJay and Dave_eng. I didn't see the posted diagram until just now. I did finally find a diagram online. Both confirmed that the brake rod assembly includes the turnbuckle and only one lock nut. This helps a lot. Now I can focus on loosening the turnbuckle itself. Thank...

    Stupid brake adjusting nut!! B26

    I realize this post is 5 years old, so the original posters may no longer be around. But if anyone knows the answer to this it would be most helpful. I have the same brake problem on my 2011 B26 TLB (just over 800 hours). The left pedal seems 'normal' while the right pedal is much more...
