Hi Folks, as I dig deeper into this tractor, I am now trying to identify my loader. It appears to be purpose built for my little B6000 - did Kubota make their own FELS way back when and where did they stamp model number? I need to track down a filter (the one mounted down in the post reservoir that filters (screen style) the hydraulic fluid. I also need to update the ram pins - mine are clevis style with large rounded heads (almost like a carriage head bolt but much beefier and deeper at the head - 1 of mine are missing/damaged) they are a little under 1/2 in diameter (maybe 13mm if metric?) I replaced low pressure hoses and bought the fabric guard material to protect them and have 7 new hoses being made up on the pressure side. I am going to fill reservoir and cap screen nipple, fire up tractor and blow some fluid out the return briefly into a bucket, top off and call it good.

Go to Kubotabooks.com and to its loader section.

Look at B219. It may be the one........ just an educated guess.

Yep, it appears to be the B219. I think I might have found a source for a new loader strainer filter. The good news is with the new hoses and some hardware, the loader is operating perfectly. I will run the new fluid for a week or two, then drain and add fresh again which should hold me for awhile.
