I thought someone had suggested this - use your forks, or one fork, then clean it out with a hoe or shovel. You wouldn't want to do a whole lot this way, but it can be done.

Learned something. Reminds me of the joke about a gastro adjusting valves with the engine running.

If you haven't already, swap injector #2 with another one and re-test. If the dead cylinder moves with the injector, you have a bad injector.

I suspect you're right. But confirm that fluid was running out of that hose into the fill port, right?

Try using the top holes in the lift rods. If this doesn't give you enough lift, put the pins in the holes nearest the tractor in the lower arms. This will give you maximum height, with some decrease in weight capacity.

If you have time, remove the 'return' hose from the hydraulic block and stick the end in the hydraulic fill port. Start the tractor and see how it functions.

Yeah, but those drawings show a welded cylinder. In post 14, OP says it's not welded. Those figures are from a manual off KubotaBooks that may be for a EU machine.

Picture? Since the only documentation we've had access to apparently wasn't correct, it would be nice to see what we're dealing with.

Can you post a picture of the cylinder? I think it's welded. If so, a lathe and welder are involved. Besides OEM, you might find something for a snow plow, etc that'll fit, if the stroke doesn't have to be exact. Can you measure the stroke and rod diameter?

That's the direct law. Then there's, I suspect, a contractual agreement between Kubota and each dealer that restricts them. The penalty 'under penalty of law', is, I suspect, limited to loosing their relationship with Kubota, unless damages to Kubota could be shown. But, TTL, I'm not a lawyer.

Could be. Since he's detected visible slime, I'd use some additive and work it hard.

I think you're right. But as an example of my machining skill, the only time I cut a thread on a lathe, 50 years ago, I used a tool ground to 60° and fed it perpendicular to the shaft 🔩🥽🤷‍♂️🧙‍♂️ I've been looking, casually, for a lathe and mill. Maybe I should rethink things.

You need 3 connections * P IN supply to bh * PB OUT outlet of bh circuit to loader then 3ph * T TANK (transmission case) You can look at the BX23s parts diagrams to see how these are provided, and compare it to your tractor to see if they are similar. WorkShop Manuals for both machines are...

Did you add the rear remotes addressed in your earlier thread? If so, maybe post a picture or two. What model backhoe do you have? If not a Kubota, post a picture of the connections. Does @North Idaho Wolfman need to merge these threads?

How much area are you planning to clear? I've dug a few of those big pine stumps, but it takes an hour or more. Then you have the issue of disposal. If the stumps have to come up, an excavator - not necessarily a mini - is probably best. I bought the L35 to maintain trails and do small projects...
