Hi geoff , i have a kms180 backactor with a subframe on a l4200. have you found the workshop manual for the kms180? i have a pdf copy here

Here are some loader photos with a tape measure across the bucket. I can take more photos later today with better dimensions

Thanks for the replies Messicks dont have it as explained by Ruger. I will try the dealer , however they are finding it difficult to get the main parts for this age of tractor. If anyone knows any other tractors with pop out screens then I would happily look for an alernative.

I'm hoping someonwe here will be able to help find replacement pop out window latches for the windscreen ( windshield) on my Kubota L4200. I have looked on Messicks but I cant see the latch on any diagrams, I've searched the internet but without any conclusive results. Both my latches are...

I have had a few months of use of the backhoe now. A couple of issues have arisen in that time. 1 leg cylinder is leaking, this has gotten worse over time and is now off the backhoe waiting to go to the hydraulic shop. The bigger issue by far is the boom dropping under its own weight, this...

I enjoyed watching that. I am amazed at how far tractors have developed from these machines

I have had a good week of progress. I fitted the arm cylinders, made a mounting bracket for the pump, got a new return hose, hose flanges for the pump bought and fitted. The leg cylinders came back from the rebuild. With the arm bled and supporting its own weight i tried to drive out of my...

Another weekend with a chance to progress this project. I managed to get the tank rinised out, degreased, and trial fitted Here you can see the new sight guage and thermometer. Now that I can see everything fits well, I can paint the tank. I also got the slew cyclinders in position I used...

Everybody loves an update. I have got 5 of 7 cyclinders back from the shop, cleaned, inspected and resealed where neccessary. I also have the valve block from the shop. In the mean time I managed to get some time to improve the hydraulic oil tank in 3 minor ways 1. A boss for a magnetic sump...

I should be able to. I'll take a look and see what can be had locally. It would make me happier to have the the rust dealt with.

I got another unit of workshop time this weekend, while my attempts to set up the new gas bottle for the welder were put on ice due to the regulator and bottle threads both being male! This gave me an opportunity to look at the backhoe stabiliser leg tubes, which were bowed out slightly. A look...

Small update The hydraulic shop are making progress on the cylinders. And the new pump has arrived. Should I rinse it through to be sure there is no manufacturing swarf left in it?

That looks great! Did you buy or build the euro tool plate on your loader? Id love to hear more about it. In the future this is something that i want to do to my machine.
