• By chance, does the implement you have on the 3ph hit the ground when the control hits 7? • Do you have the feedback adjusted so that at 10 the lift stops just before the relief opens?

Thanks, I can see that the hose is looped. My main concern is that the hooks, etc on the tractor and the pins on the backhoe are accounted for. You probably also need the backhoe Operator Manual (mine is separate) to show how they mate. I'm not sure what that is on the 3ph, but I think the...

Ken I have something that may be of interest to you. This section is part of an assembly I bought on eBay several years ago. It was advertised as new (which all evidence says is true) and possibly for a Hyster lift truck (which seems logical since it had one single-acting section and three...

What does that do?

I assume it's an FST, not GST Glideshift, which might be slightly more desirable. But at least it's mostly synchronized, which is desirable for loader work. And independent PTO, which is a must in my book. Turf tires would be a negative for me, but if you'll be using chains on ice it could be...

Interesting trivia, I'm not sure it applies to the Longhorn. In 1970, and maybe a couple more years, Chevy made two 400 ci pickups, a 400 ci small block and a 400 ci big block, which was actually a 402, 396 bored 0.030" over. I think the badging was exactly the same, and I don't know if they did...

• Those diagrams help. I can see that the B20 is routed differently than the L35, so my warning isn't necessary. You do have a directional valve, but it's associated with the loader. There is a hose on the back of the tractor which needs to be looped for everything to function correctly. Please...

• @TheOldHokie, the resident hydraulic guru, started a tutorial. You can get the basics here: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/kubota-hydraulic-info-and-q-a.80032/#post-853625 • I may have a lead on a section. eBay or similar. Husco dealer/distributor will be expensive. • As I...

Yeah, I can't imagine trying to control backhoe swing with on-off, I can shake 'er around pretty good with analog. Kubota may have used some tricks in that control box, but we're xxxx-canning it.

Ken • Please post a shot of your tractor hydraulic diagram, as well as one of the backhoe. • This is very important anytime the backhoe is connected to the tractor's hydraulic system. You wrote that you have a WSM; do you also have an Operator Manual? This is from the L35 Op Man, but yours may...

We had the opposite - '61 C10 Apache step-side 6 cyl (no oil filter), 3 on the column, left side mirror only, single tail light (no turn signals), heater, no radio. Previous owner had installed overload springs and 8-ply mudgrips on the rear. I'd stop at the feed mill for a ton of feed and...

Let's do a Reset here, or at least a Pause. From your first pictures, I thought the damage to your valve was more extensive than what the last ones show. • To answer your last question, yes a single, standalone valve could be installed. You wouldn't even have to remove the old section, but you'd...

Knowing nothing about flail mowers, I thought the reason for using a roller was to contain debris (and maybe broken blades?) from hitting the tractor and operator, as well as anti-scalp. Maybe guard chains or a flap would work. Heck, I don't even know which direction the drum turns, but that...

Here's a link to RaleighL35's thumb project: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/2003-tlb-l35-bt900-backhoe-hydraulic-thumb.56902/ He used a weld-on kit from Gentec.

• Cleaner - Canadian version 😀 of Simple Green, ZEP, B52, Gunk engine cleaner, any degreaser • Thumb - Most of the current production backhoes have a backhoe option, but it wasn't available on the L35, or B20 it appears. I'm hopeful that a current factory thumb would fit, but so far I haven't...
