I have a 2003 L3130 with no loader or rear hydraulics. I am wanting to add rear hydraulics to operate a hydraulic top and side link for a box blade. I have attached 2 pics of the rear hydraulic block under the seat. The only hoses coming off the block is pressure and return for the cylinders on the 3 point lift. I have reached out to Summit, WR Long and Tractor Innovations. All say they have a kit they believe will work but was not sure how to pipe it in on this model. Any insight and advice is greatly appreciated!! 2003 Kubota L3130.jpeg 2003 Kubota L3130 (2).jpeg 2003 Kubota L3130 (3).jpeg

Go to this site and look at the illustrated parts lists

There appears to be a few different versions of a “L3130d” so I might be wrong but there appears to be a hydraulic take off block, see picture below. You take the pressure out to your new valve that must have a power beyond sleeve, then from that sleeve you go back to the cover plate tap to supply pressure to the rest of the tractor. You will also have a tank return line from the valve that dumps into a port that goes into the tractor sump.

Then see this thread (post #1) for how replacing the cover will allow tapping into the hydraulic system.

See Post #16 in this thread for a description of how a replacement cover was used on my L185 and a picture of the flow out of the cover and back into the cover along with the tank return line.
