eserv, thanks for the info.

Getting ready to buy a used ZD28 and I'd like to know the date of manufacture of machine. I understand that Kubota on occasions has extended the warranty' s to 4 years on some os the ZD28's, because of defects with the hydraulics, and have a better pump because of this known defect. Any help...

Can't say enough thanks, there are no words eloquent enough to convey, my deepest appreciation to you Sean, for all the guidance you've provided me since I purchased my ORANGE MACHINE! T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U!!!!!

Ok, so here's where we are... Finally got the gauge and adaptor for 1/2 to 1/4, for the gauge, placed the gauge on spool #3 ( far right side), the gauge was reading at 2300 psi then I adjusted down to 1700 psi with spool operated. At running speed with no hydraulics being used it reads between...

Addressing the low oil pressure...check out this youtube video, this guy showed exactly how to fix it! He says in the video that he got from a Kubota Service Bulletin. The video is long but worth the view just for the information he gives. Check it out

Heres a link to a "youtube video" that this guy fixes his low oil pressure. Very clear and informative. He also explained about the fix from a Kubota service bulletin. You may want to try this Its pretty good. I also had a problem with low pressure about 14psi, I know this sounds impossible...

Thank You O Sooo Much North Idaho Wolfman!!!!

I can't thank you enough! I'll order that gauge immediately, will this gauge need any adaptors? say 1/4" to 1/2" Because I believe the valve body uses 1/2" plugs

What's the acceptable psi for the low.. and high end of pressures ? I looked at gauge sets on both ebay and amazon, could I impose on you to suggest which one would work for I need to achieve? They are many different ones and I don't want to get the wrong one. Thks

If i Need to adjust the pressure, please enlighten as I don't know how to achieve this and what equipment would I need to buy to do this. Thanks soo much for all your help.

I took off the old 2 spool and replaced it with a 3 spool. Installed right out of box no adjustments 2 hoses one for Line in, one Line out, and 4 hoses, two hoses for the lift up, and down, and 2 hoses to the tilt up and down. the 3rd spool ports are just plugged for now its for future use to...

The new valve controls the same operations as the old valve, bucket tilt. up/down, and arm lift, up/down. It does not have power beyond. And yes it's on the tractor hydraulics.

The old valve was almost twice the size of the new one, and was a 2 spool valve. Other then that was pretty straight forward
