There should be a couple of hoses connected together making a complete loop. One hose will have a male end and the other will be female so it is possible for them to be connected. The backhoe should have connection points to match the hoses and supply flow to and from the backhoe valve. I am...

I suggest you get the mower as high as possible and set it on some wood cribbing so it is at a comfortable work height. Then detach it from the tractor and roll it so it is easier to see the wires. Strap is to something so it doesn’t want to fall onto you. Depending on how hard it is to...

You may need to add some 90 degree fittings at one or more of the ends of the lines to make them fit better. Or 45 degree fittings?

You can get the restrictors from @Kennyd4110 at Bolt on Hooks https://www.boltonhooks.com/hydraulic-flow-restrictors/

Well Kubota has two schemes for that solenoid so the answer is “it depends on what kind you have”. One style of solenoid is not active during start and running, but only pulls the fuel flow to zero when the key is turned off, it holds fuel off for a few seconds and then releases to be able to...

Does it slowly die (like running out of fuel) or quickly die (same as when the key is turned to off)? I would investigate the solenoid that is on the injection pump that is used to shut off the fuel (or hold the fuel on when running) and see if it is operating correctly. I think you could...

That is (probably ) a plug used to clean out oil passages after casting the block. The thermal cycling has made it come loose. I would think it would look like what people call “freeze plugs” but you said it is a “rivet”. Can you post a picture of the hole in the block and the plug so that we...

The OP stated this in post #1: “I have a strangely behaving Kubota D1803-T diesel in an air compressor.” Does a Kubota engine need diagmaster in any equipment or would that equipment vendor have their own control system? I assume that the ECU could be by Kubota and that the engine is what the...

@Sidekick - do you recall what that red slide hook is properly named? The ones I have seen are not that closed so easily unhook until they are under some load. I can’t see any brand on the picture so not able to locate that style yet…

I don’t know what your level is for relatively cheap but these Mighty Vac systems would be able to suck up the oil through the dipstick tube. There are actual vacuum systems for oil changes through the dipstick but I think they are more expensive but also more useful.

Your local hydraulic company will have them on the shelf. on line places like discount hydraulics will ship them to you. You will need to figure out the threads and size of the hose and coupler.

Add a 45 or 90 degree fitting between the hose and coupling half so the hose can rotate when you raise the 3PH

Run tractor then use the levers to move the backhoe around and the cylinders and hoses will fill with fluid. Just extend and retract the cylinders a few times and the air will be expelled back into the sump.

You will need to be specific about which wheels and tires you need or want. There are Agricultural (R1) and turf (R3?) and also 2wd and 4wd versions on the L235. You can get part numbers from Kubota USA dot com or messicks This is the front wheel for 2wd Ag and it fit several models...

But you will (probably) need to watch how sharp you turn and the trailer tongue might be able to hit the tracto’s rear tires. It depends on the tongue length and how much angle it flairs out.
