Jim Dandy, Is it possible that the boom hoses are reversed?

Just got back from working out of town and will get back to this hydraulic repair next week (after getting another 40" hyd line w/SAE straight x SAE 90). The problem I am having is a very sudden, very high, pressure when lifting FEL boom fully up causing hyd pump to crack. After I replaced the...

Thanks for your help with this hyd. issue. It has been quite a learning curve for me and I am very thankful for all the good help along the way. I wish Kubota would have had this info. somewhere in their WSM (of which I have two different WSMs for this tractor). The WSM I got from the local...

Here is a cut sheet of the valve, and two more sheets showing the valve ports as I think they should be plumed. I pretty much have the valve ports down as to which port goes where except for where to connect the HPCO port and the T port. If I understand you correctly, the P port connects to...

Wolfman, Wow, I just now found out that there is a 2nd page to this thread and found your reply to my last two questions about the open center hyd. system (even before I asked them). OK, so I will need the FEL CV to be open center. I will check with tech-support on the new FEL control...

I checked the specs. for this L245DT on tractordata.com to find 'Hydraulic Type: Open Center'. What does that mean? Is it referring to the FEL control valve? What does that mean for the 3ph controls? //

I looked up the tractor specs for this L245DT on tractordata.com (the local Kubota dealer wouldn't help me) to find the hydraulic type is 'open center'. I suspect this is referring to the FEL control valve? //

Thats right, no power steering. The two ports on the front end of the priority valve (parts diagram item 1) have plugs. I suspect the rectangular block under the seat is an after market (or a Kubota factory optional) priority valve? What do you think about the rectangular block? I have a...

N.ID Wolfman. Thank you for the reply. I see the priority valve (item 1 in the parts diagram) on left side under seat. This valve (in the diagram) is on this tractor, and it is sandwiched between the rear axle housing and the pressure relief valve. The diagram shows lines connected to the...

Here are some picts. of the existing hydraulic lines on my L245DT. I suspect the FEL control valve is not properly connected. It never has worked right. And when I used it to lift the empty bucket to full height it instantly cracked the pump when the cylinders fully extended. I am trying to...

Thank you for all your good help to better understand how to properly connect my new FEL control valve (NIMCO 11817-2S, a 2 spool single lever w/2000 psi PRV). I will try to post some picts. if I can find out how to do it. The more I look into this tractor (circa 1975??) the more I find that the...

What does the Priority Valve look like on my tractor and where is it located? Is it the rectangular aluminum block centered under the seat on top of the rear axle? How can I know if it is working properly? Also what does the diverter valve look like and where is it located? Or doe this tractor...

Try abilenemachine.com in Abilene, Kansas, USA. They might need your original manufacturer's part number for a cross reference. //

Thank you for the BSP info. and the link to DHH. I will get with DHH on Monday and post their response. //

Yes, I went to several hose places. They all told me that the M14-1.25 is a bolt thread only. And that there is no fitting for it. The closest they can come up with is a M14-1.50 fitting. (I have part numbers if anyone is interested.) So I have ordered a spare M14-1.25 plug and plan to drill and...
