A friend has a model L245 and is having troubles, please help.
His problem is that the Bucket doesn't stay working. The Pump makes a hissing noise and the the Hose from the Pump surges. He told me that the guy who sold him the tractor has "rebuilt" the pump a few times but it doesn't stay working. Also the Gannon works if that helps.
Sounds like a pressure problem to me but I am not familiar with Kubotas, just don't know what pressure it should be.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
