    L3010 fuel tank removal

    It was a little help. The real issue was figuring out how much stuff had to come apart to remove it. It turns out that the dash needs to be disassembled, all control rods disconnected and the steering wheel column assembly unbolted and laid back enough to have room to get at the tank and tank...

    L3010 fuel tank removal

    I have a leak in the bottom of the fuel tank. I have removed the damper plate bolts and upper tank support bolts but cannot locate the lower tank support bolts to remove that so I can get the tank out. Where are they and how do I get to them.

    LA 481 loader problem

    Problem solved. It was the implement control valve. It had rotated about 10 deg off vertical. Put it back in vertical position and presto. Chalk up another to Ockham's razor. Thanks for the tip. I'm surprised it wasn't thought of more quickly by the local Kubota techs but maybe it just...

    LA 481 loader problem

    There is no loader drift. The 3 pt hitch linkage appears to be fine and working properly. The hitch position has no effect on loader operation. There is no adjustment valve that I am aware of.

    LA 481 loader problem

As I said the 3 pt hitch is working normally with the the skidding winch attached which weighs around 800# and it readily lifts that and the butt of a 16inch x 50 ft oak and the tractor at idle. There is clearly something happening with the interplay of the...

    LA 481 loader problem

    I have disconnected and reconnected the couplings. I looked underneath and did not see any other damage. I did have a rotten stump get flipped by the front tire and break off the hydraulic filter. I replaced that and put in new fluid. Was good for about 20 hours when the problem started.

    LA 481 loader problem

    I have a l3010 HST with LA 481 loader. The loader recently started to operate slowly and is weak. The 3pt hitch acts normally. I have been using it in the woods with a skidding winch and it had no problem lifting loads in excess of 1000 lbs. I noticed that the loader lift speed drastically...
