Hello all Sorry for the long delay, weather, busy, work, weather, you know... Anyway, finally tried out my gauge, works great, 2830 lbs of hydraulic pressure. So thats good. No sense in tweeking it up unless there is a real prob. I do wonder what is the ratio or is there one? If it lifts say...

sorry for such a long delay.......cold up here. today changed out the fuel filter, keeping my baby running good. 14° too cold to mess with the hydraulics for testing the pressure, will do soon. have all the toys now to do it. Will keep ya all posted on it as I can. Have a great weekend.

Agreed, I have all the fittings done so it looks like the pic above. Now for a day where the temp is higher than 11°.

Hello all again Ok, my pressure gauge came in, now to find the quick disconnect end. I was planning on getting the male end as in the pic posted above but for me that will only work on my pto end. The loader end is hard plumbed from the distribution block for about 2 ft to a bracket that has...

Ordered my gauge tonight. Using fork attachment when moving machines fyi.

Sorry, It is an LA1153 loader. I bought it specifically to pick up 3,000 lb machines. It will, but only to a point. I will check the pressure, I dont want to hurt my baby.:)

ahh You guys are right, I will pick up a gauge and adaptor to check what my pressure is at the moment. Thank you very much. I will post my findings.

Hello all I have a 2008 M5040 and would love to boost my hydraulics just a bit to pick up another 200 lbs of weight. I mean I am picking up what I need now but its a little shaky and slow and only gets my load about 2ft off the ground and I really need 4ft. I understand there is a way to adjust...

So how do you guys change your blades on your lawn tractor? I do it this way, I hate lying on the ground.:p http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12206&stc=1&d=1405903936 http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12207&stc=1&d=1405903936...

hello all According to my manual, I should have flushed , rinsed and replaced /refilled, my radiator cooling system over a year ago. 2008 M5040 now has 435 hours on her. I was amazed how hard it is to find the radiator flush that the manual claims I should use. I know a lot of folks tend to...

:o http://www.mowergraveyard.com/ This is where I ended up buying my filters. BUT I just received my order from these folks and even though the filters fit and I am sure they will be fine...they are NOT mfg'd by Kubota as stated on their website. Just an fyi ...............my wife...

Found a good place with a good price. $6.75 ea. Kubota mfg Shipping was fair too. http://www.mowergraveyard.com/filters-oil-c-64_66.html?alpha_filter_id=0&filter_id=24&sort=20a Thanks all :D

I am in a brain fade mode..........ya, I know, its not that unusual for me..lol I am looking for the oil filter for my M5040 2008 and it seems that there are not many cross refs and my 40 miles away tractor supply shops that carry it. Seems simple enough but. Do you folks sell my filter ...

Well, thats good enough for me then. I will use it for something else, maybe I can find an old diesel generator and set it up for that. Thank you all for saving me grief. ;-)

hello all Hope everyone is doing better than the last couple of years. I am doing away with my #2 oil fired furnace (it burned a hole through the bottom of the heat exchanger and its $2500 to replace) So I have two, 275 gal tanks installed inside my workshop. One is full of #2. I have a...
