I didn't buy a Kubota rim for a couple of reasons. 1, my local Kubota dealer said it could be several days to a week out. 2, they aren't close to me. 3, the Ag tire shop said they could get me one. One stop shop was an attractive option. I'm assuming you are assuming the center section can be...

So basically what I am gathering is there is no left or right side as the tire shop implied. They should have been more focused on matching the original set up.... Which gives me some traction to make them eat the remount cost when I go back.

Because only one side of the hoop is flat. Meaning I can only bolt the center section to one side. So technically it can be mounted 2 ways, neither of which will match the other wheel.

Perhaps I need to give some more info. The left rear tire on my L275 was dry rotted. I took it to my local Ag tire shop for R&R. Upon removal of the old tire it was obvious the wheel was in need of replacement also....gotta love that calcium chloride! So they ordered a rim and tire and said...

OK. So how about that new wheel in the pic? The center section can only bolt up to one side with it....

I am seeking advice on the correct orientation of the rear wheels (not tires!) on my L275. Do the hoops belong in or out? I can get into detail more if needed. Maybe this is a simple answer..... What I am asking is, is this wheel correct (hoops out)? VS. This....hoops in.....

Thank you so much! That answers alot of questions. I was able to find an old used manual on ebay but it wont be in for several days, I had no idea those files existed. Thanks again!

The ID of the seals are 1-1/8. The nut is 2". The nut also just slightly compresses the packing before it bottoms out on the piston.

FWIW, I have all seals in hand and one side complete minus the question on the torque for the piston nut. Your chart is pretty well in line with a book I have that calls for 175-200 ft lbs for a 3/4"-10 piston thread. But the book also shows the more traditional assemblies with a standard nut.....

Thank you for the links. Unfortunately I dont think those apply to my cylinders. As you can see in my picture above the piston nut is not a typical nut - it is round and a spanner wrench is required. I would think It would be difficult to get 200-300 ft lbs on a spanner wrench with a 10" long...

Good morning, I am rebuilding my bucket cylinders on my L275. I believe the loader is an L1730 based on my research but cant be sure because the tag is partly un legible. Have not had much luck finding info regarding a torque spec on the bottom of the piston. Two questions, is this a critical...
