Threads were destroyed. So he fixed it. Fixed the seals too. That's all I know.

Here's the guy I used. He did a great job! New seals and machined the threads. Installed the cylinders and they work like new. If your ever in a predicament I'd suggest sending it to him. Great guy.

Will bring a 4 pack of high ABV beer. 1 guy shop.

Yea. That was the problem. The shop said they don't know how the nut got loose but it was on its last 3 threads and when I put weight in the bucket, the nut stripped the threads and popped off. So, they machined the threads. Put the nut back on with locktite - both cylinders even though it was...

I spoke with another mechanic. He was absolutely certain the issue is with one of the cylinders. After I took the cylinders off, I noticed the drivers side right cylinder had a free floating bolt inside. Is this the issue? Taking both cylinders out for new seals since they are not indtalled.

He seemed like he was not interested in my issue. Quoted me $1900 for a cylinder then said it's not a cylinder issue (no leaks) but a pump issue etc..they have tractors... I'll do the test later today. Could this be the issue as well?

I spoke to a kubota dealer over the phone. The rep said it's not a cylinder issue since it's not leaking fluid. Since I have to Rev the engine it's the hydraulic pump. He couldn't quote me a price (said I'd have to bring it in then said I could sell it and they have tractors, blah blah). How...

Instead of taking it apart, I should just get 2 new pistons. Is this the process your talking about?

Haven't done the test you mentioned. Town is a bit far. Likely by next week I will have a clean bucket. How much is a cylinder and where can I get one?

So I tested it again. If the RPMs are high, the loader will tilt but goes back down.

As the title states, I have lost the ability to tilt my front loader bucket. All the other hydraulics work fine. Recently, changed a hose out so I thought the hydraulic system needed to be bled. Nope. Dealer/service place they don't need to be bled. I was working on a steep downward hill using...

So I put it in 1st gear and the tractor moves forward and in reverse but in 2nd gear the tractor wouldn't move forward so I jumped out and looked at the PTO shaft. It wasn't spinning. Just doesn't go forward or reverse in any gear other than 1st. The tractor doesn't stall in any gear and when...

Could it be this? Kubota #34076-64803 CABLE,SHIFT ASSY (messicks.com) In a previous post Nicksacco mentions the same issue I am experiencing. Kubota L35 TLB - Gear Shift Change Mechanism | OrangeTractorTalks - Everything Kubota

I am having a similar situation with my tractor. The only difference is that my will drive in 1st gear but (seemingly at random) no other gear. Is this the same issue you had?

If it is the clutch that needs to be replaced, does anyone know the going rate to have someone replace it? I can work on vehicles but have never worked on a tractor and don't have a garage so I will have someone knowledgeable do it.
