Well, learned a valuable lesson on lending out equipment. A buddy borrowed it to spread some gravel, said "it worked perfect, I didn't even need to use the bucket!" Dropped it off while I was out. This is how he returned it. He even welded it. Fantastic. Arms were 90° when he got it. I've been...

I noticed the 2 drop brackets to hold it up while not in use, tried using them? I figure that's alot easier than dropping the whole deck out.

https://youtu.be/KtPLxgNaM1s Here it is first test, start was at idle 1000rpm, at the higher speed was at 1800rpm. Increased the speed significantly. Have more welding to do, rear diff subframe, tidy up lines, and build the bucket. Going to use the current one for forks. Tubed in the rear in...

Yes that's a big part of it. Instead of 10 hoses you need 20. That's another 20 fittings, and at between $9.99-19.99 per crimp fitting, it gets expensive even faster. I'm only going to hardlining my return line from the power beyond, made it today from my 3/8" SS tube from the scrap bin...

Had all but 1 line made. Was going to go partial hardlined but, I'm lazy. Going to hard line most of my return to tank from the power beyond. Last line into the filler neck for the transmission, going to use a tee so I can still fill fluid without removing everything. Found a nice old scrap...

Curl cylinder on a LA340 is 2"x6" stroke. I went with a 8" to get a bit of extra travel, and worked out good. Had to modify the geometry quite a bit to get it where I wanted from the LA340 measurements. Now I have proper tilt at max lift. At 72" pin height I have 51° back, 51° forward. At 52"...

Loader is no further out than a LA340. Took all my measurements last time I rented one to do my foundation. Plan was to copy onto a case 444, they translate over to this Kubota easily. Bucket will be 50" wide. Yes I will be doing tie-in plates to the rear diff, and whole goal is to make the...

Thanks, yes princess is good, but Cummins hydraulics is the place to go when you need the right parts. That BPTM fitting for example. When I do the lines I'll be going there for the saddle style fittings for the hardlines as well. I was going to do a SSQA/quicktach clone but changed my mind. I...

Just wanted to throw some images up here since Facebook is horrid for keeping up information. Basic front end loader for a Kubota B1550. 72" pin hieght, basically a full copy (dimensions wise) of a BX23 size loader. Loader cylinders: 2016 (2" bore 16" stroke) 6orb Curl cylinder: 2508 (2-1/2"...

Just says upload failed. Can't resize pictures on this phone so guess that's the end of pictures for me. Bought the cylinders, fittings, and 2 spool to add wet lines front/rear. Ideally for rear hydraulic top link or a bucket grapple if I want to down the road. I have loads of SS hydraulic...

Yep, I built the initial post mounts off the belly mower brackets for the uprights, then from there going to bend some 1-3/4" tube to run supports to the front and rear diff just like how the factory style subframe is. Wierd, still won't let me upload images.

Figured I would add to this. Whipping up a loader from scraps, going off the same dimensions as a BX25, but a whole lot less polished. Going to whip up some quick connects tomorrow if I get a chance, then bucket, then decide on rams. I figure from the measurements I'm swapping over that I'll...

Anytime you modify something engineered and tested as a safety device you're taking your life into your hands... Just like when you drive, eat anything, sleeping, existing, etc. There's a billion ways to die and we all find one eventually. Modifying your roll cage is the least of your worries...

Nothing special, standard coolant heater. Should have markings on it somewhere saying what wattage it is. Can grab them on Amazon hose size specific in different wattage ratings for like $15.

That's the ideal way, LED lights have effectively reduced the need for relays on every single light circuit. As others have said if you turned it off and it burnt up a wire you've ran something wrong to the relay and are causing as short. Likely it's youve got a single pole double throw instead...

Ok I'll keep an eye out for B implements, around here it's just difficult since the only listing description people give us "Kubota" and you have to expend the energy prying out the information of what machine it came off.. haha. I'll look into the quick hitch, if I can find one, I can...

One I've always had luck with is TSC epoxy primer and then a couple thick coats of their implement paint. Lately I haven't bothered with the epoxy primer and have just been slapping on thick coats of rust paint. Held up well on my box blade and scraper blade. Cutting edge always gets chipped...

Hello, new to the Kubota world after years using a subcompact (I guess?) 1974 Case 444. Built every attachment I've ever needed. 24" ground ripper, 52" box blade, 52" triple articulating scraper blade, 2-harrow plow, front end loader, roll over bar, etc.. Picking up a used B1550 for a price I...
