    LT421 boom cylinder reseal

    Thank you! That gives me some relief. Kubota shows 75545-63600 as the seal kit, however, the WSM shows 75545-63400 which looks like the correct kit. Guess I'll order one tomorrow and see.

    LT421 boom cylinder reseal

    Adding control valve for grapple cylinder

The PB on the FEL has a flex hose before it goes to steel headed to the BH, so its just a matter of routing that hose. Any particular brand you can...

    Adding control valve for grapple cylinder

    I have a B21 commercial TL421 loader, BT751 backhoe. I want to add a FEL grapple with a valve control mounted on the ROPS cross bar. The FEL control valve looks to have a Power Beyond off the rear marked with green paint that goes to the backhoe. The pressure input and tank return to the FEL...
