    What’s in my front tires?

    They are not reversible. It came from a rental fleet and must have been swapped along the way. I noticed the front wheels have stickers that say 2020 vs the rears 2018. Some of the mysteries of buying used equipment. Maybe I won a little with the foam filling but just have to deal with a...

    B2630 Battery/Starting issue

    A lot of the local auto parts stores can bench test your alternator if you take it in. It sounds like you have already determined the alternator or something related like a voltage regulator is bad. I would also expect more voltage coming from the alternator as well.

    What’s in my front tires?

    Thanks for the input. This was a Home Depot rental in its previous life. I’ve heard the front tires on the B26 can have issues and some use tubes. Guess I won’t need that. One of the R4’s is backwards for the directional tread and I wanted to flip the tire but it can just stay that way.

    What’s in my front tires?

    I got this machine used and went to air up the tires. The back ones are normal but the front are sealed in the valve stem. Is this puncture sealant or something else. The tires feel hard but I can’t check the pressure. One of the valve stems feels like it’s barely attached so I’m not sure if...

    Remove Throttle Lever

    I’m not familiar with that machine or the language of the diagram. I don’t understand what the part in the box signifies. If you look at the lower diagram though it shows two washers under the bolt (28, 6). Then on the shaft there looks to be a key(2). If that is what you have the key could be...

    B26 /w BT820 backhoe stuck spool valve

    I have been looking at the Kubota parts as it is an option for the B26. BTB405 - Backhoe auxiliary hydraulic kit BT1975 - Hydraulic thumb kit Good to know. Seems like everyone that has one loves it. I know the parts aren't getting any cheaper. Might as well get them this year instead of next.

    B26 /w BT820 backhoe stuck spool valve

    Roger. Thanks for the input. I appreciate the quick responses and sharing of knowledge as I am new to this machine. I figured the penetrating oil did nothing, but saw someone mention it elsewhere so I gave it a squirt. I hadn't run it again as I shut if off last night after the valve got...

    B26 /w BT820 backhoe stuck spool valve

    I sprayed some penetrating oil on the top and wiggled it a bunch and it came free. Not sure if the penetrating oil is just coincidental. It jammed up again and wiggling got it loose. Compared to the other stabilizer valve it seems harder to move. I think something inside might be hanging up...

    B26 /w BT820 backhoe stuck spool valve

    Recently picked up a used B26. I have used the backhoe a couple times and today while lifting the stabilizers one valve got stuck. I looked at the parts diagram but am not very familiar with hydraulics. What should I take apart to start inspecting ? The valve is currently stuck down and won’t...
