Thank you very much! I appreciate your opinion on that idea. When I started this thread a week or so ago, another question I had was how to get all or as much of the residual fluid out of the hoses and cylinders. Those who responded to that question had some good ideas, and one made the point...

Well, I'm waiting to get my cylinder back from being rebuilt at the dealer and I'm starting to plan how I'm going to go about purging the hydraulic system of contaminated fluid and water. I came across a very informative post from another forum from 2010. Here is what NCWayne posted on...

You know....not very often. We have 11 acres, most of it wooded. Over the past couple of years, when I have time, I've been cleaning up my woods. I've been dragging deadfall out, cutting up blown over trees and then dragging or carrying the trunks out. We had some big oaks blow over in 2018...

The black bucket has the fluid that drained out of the cylinder 2 days ago. I tried not to stir it up when I rotated the bucket to show the white residue on the bottom of the bucket. The second photo is fluid I just now drained out of the drain plug, and it's cloudy too. I'm going to change the...

Point taken, and I was hoping that what you're saying would be the case, that any residual fluid would be so diluted that it would not cause any problems, and that's part of the reason God invented filters. I just know next to zero about hydraulics and I just don't want to FU my tractor and...

Yikes! that's a lot of work and I know some of my pins will be tough to knock out. I'm more than willing to spend a $200-$300 to avoid that, so what about this idea: 1. Before I drain the machine, I retract all the cylinders as far as possible, and 1 of the 2 boom swing cylinders. 2. I...

When I drain the system, how to I make sure I also am able to drain all the water-contaminated fluid from all the cylinders?

I have a Kubota L48 TLB. The dipper stick cylinder on the backhoe began to leak pretty badly about a month ago and today I removed it to take it to the dealer for a rebuild. I disconnected the 2 hydraulic hoses from the cylinder, knocked out the 2 pins attaching the cylinder to the backhoe...

I have an L48 TLB with 1270 hours on it. I bought it 10 years ago with 1150 hours on it, so it hasn't had heavy use by me, but I have been using it more often lately. Today I was greasing it, and I am pretty religious about greasing it every 10 hours. I have the WSM and Operator's manual, and...

There isn't a wholegoods number, or at least there isn't any more. The 3-point linkage was an option on the L48 and a lot of people did not buy it because they never intended to take off the backhoe. I talked to Messicks and this is what they told me. I have read other posts on other forums...

No, the L3961 linkage will not work on an L48.

That's good to know that TSC or Agri-Supply have parts that can work. I have a couple more questions. I just watched some Youtube videos on connecting and using a box blade, and it looks like you have can move the lifting arms back and forth a pretty big amount to enable them to fit the width...

Thanks D2Cat

Thanks G.rid. I just PM'd you.

I have a 2004 Kubota L48 backhoe that I bought used. The backhoe is removable. The machine did not come with the 3-point hitch components. I'm a total rookie tractor mechanic. I want to start using some rear 3-point hitch implements and am trying to figure out a cheaper way to put together a...

Wolfman, thank you too for all that information. I have emailed Kubota to see if I can get the correct schematic. Meanwhile, attached are images of the back cover of my manual (and it has a print date of 2000, so that would indeed be an old version) and an image of my serial number. Also, I...

That's great! Thanks so much. I will give that a shot and report back on the adventure.

I bought the machine used from a rental company and I discovered that they bypassed the seat safety switch. Attached are photos of the switch and the bypass they did that I have not hooked back up. Just thinking about it now as I took these pictures, the ends of the terminals used for the...
