Hello , I'm Mark a retired Australian carpenter, living in Chiang Mai Thialand
I bought a Kubota L3202DT , with a front blade, The hydraulic system was a bit slow on lifting the blade, So I took it to a workshop,, and the pump was removed, ruptured O Rings, I was looking at, ( over here is a very difficult place to find genuine parts of anything,,,, all cheap copies). I wanted the best quality,,
I got home and started using the blade 20 mins later the blade was not responding and Oil was pouring out of the engine breather, upon inspection the gearbox was empty and the sump full, took the pump off myself and ,the same
Situation ruptured O rings, I took the pump to a Kubota dealer and they replaced the 4 O rings, Put it back together The 2nd engine & gearbox full of oil ,20 mins later oil out the breather, !!!!!!! I enlisted the services of a new person who came out put a few pressure gauges of sorts and informed Me the pump was no good, When the Mechanic at Kubota had replaced the rings, A new pump went on and more oil in 20 mins later oil out the breather,
I've really had enough , I pulled off the new pump and noticed that the circling and pump drive shaft seal were (obviously due to pressure) blown off and the hydraulic oil is being pumped into the engine via the hole in the rear of the pump ????
I really would appreciate some input here, , The one thing I think ,,,,but not sure ,,under the seat is a knob that I have no idea what it's for, .possibly been played with by the 1st worker.
Regards Mark
