Have th LA1153 loader on an M7040, 3600 hours and the right side loader mount bracket is cracked all to heck. The factory bevels that 3/4 thick plate but the weld never penetrated the bevel for more than half the circle. Can split the layers with a pick after grinding it down. Lots and lots of...

Must be molasses pie as it was a fresh batch of rimguard. Situation, new to me L2900gst from my cousin who rarely used the loader end. I wanted the loader end. Hammer it into a pile of 3/4 stone and it lifts the rear wheels pretty much off the ground, hmm suck. picked up a decent sized...

So a question, we have a 2009 M7040 comfort cab, 1153 loader, front remote, triple rear remote, custom skid plate, radio, front/rear work lights, kept well painted and in good shape, nothing bent or broken. R4 tires, 2100 hours, new front tires, fluids changed on time. Would it be better to...

So at HSC we have a good sized orange, while giving it a cleaning I went to wipe off a smear of grease from the loader mounting bracket on the left side to find out that the hefty cast bracket is cracked. So this crack is about an inch long, there's some webbing on the back side and the...

Had a hill I wanted to clear as the saplings were getting over the 15-20 foot mark and approaching the level of the power line, its a pretty steep grade but was able to mow it all downhill, needed 4x4 to keep it from sliding down the hill and the 6' brush hog was sucking up all 60+ pto...

So the M7040 has this annoying behavior, it settles even while running, with the rear blade on it jumps every four seconds to recover the quarter inch that it settled. While it does this you loose loader control. Closing the draft valve it sits still and the jerking stops. I'm guessing there's...

So looking at all the snow has me thinking, would it be possible to add a pto driven 35gpm hydraulic pump and whip up a closed loop system with accumulator that combines fluid with the main hydraulic system. My thought is after the initial air purge there shouldn't be any issues, 1 inch...

Not sure if its ever been covered, but with super udt2 at $35-40 a gallon and diesel at almost $4 a gallon but it seems viable to recoup $4 and mix the used hydraulic fluid in with the diesel. 15 gallon of hyd oil in 250 diesel doesn't seem to have any negative effects on running either the...

Running a nice M7040 comfy cab with the LA 1153? loader. A lot of operations are loader intensive, filling a dump truck, moving big piles of material etc. Often if moving a big pile I'll run in low 2 or 3 to keep the rpms up help the loader speed. So the M40 pump is rated at 11 ish gpm and the...

Have a 7040 that gets a lot of good use doing road maintenance on a gravel road. Recently we wore through the doublers on the heel of the bucket and previous operators had ground down the skids on the loader arms to the point where the rams were buffering the bucket at full extension. I bought...

I'll have to take a pic soon but the M7040 puts the tool box right above the frame and just under the edge of the hood and completely obstructs the oil fill and dipstick, almost impossible to check esp with a loader attached. So rather than pitching the box and the bracket in the trash, I...

Finally almost finished with fabbing up a skid plate for the M7040, working around brush and roots and sticks we've sheared off pretty much all the lines underneath at one time or another and the main line twice once with a stick and once with a snowbank. Also have dented both hydraulic filters...

So going over the owners and service manual the other day, silly thing, the draft control lever is inoperable. It moves but serves no purpose, so dig into the problem. The book pictures show the top link pin holder and show it with two 12mm pins that go down through the shaft in the top link...

Working on a M7040 and adding a hydraulic rear blade, the tractor has one rear remote and spots for two more levers. Not to suggest that Kubota's parts are not worth the cash but close to 800 for each remote kit is a little steep! Are all M series rear remote valves the same? assuming detent...

Thanks to all the folks with the great information, have been reading for a long time but finally have a question that I couldn't find a solid answer to. I'm working on a big orange M7040, the tractor has a few operators and now has an issue. Tractor has 1200 hours and all fluids supplied by...
