    L3600 DT Rops Leaking front axel seal

    My tractor has about 1500 hours but the first owner was not kind. I believe I need to replace the front right seal that is closest to the hub. Any guidance would be appreciated. I have broken too many things when there was a hidden snap ring or a special way to rotate something for...

    L3600 DT - what wheel size?

    When I look on Tractor data (usually a pretty reliable site) I see my rim size to be 16" front and 24 inch rears. The tractor has 15" front and 20" rears on it. I know older tractors can some times have the wrong rims on them. Messick has options of 16" and 15". Questions: -Being 4 wheel...

    Finally made a all steel grill for my 3600DT

    I thought I would post what I decided to do for a grill on my 3600. It is all steel does everything a grill should do. Locks in place with hood lock. Hope this inspires others that want a grill.

    More trouble with the L3600 - the loader control valve issues.

    I think it is how I am using it but I think it is allowing to do this because of an issue. 75% the loader controls work exactly as they should; but every now and then I am surprised. 1. Occasionally pulling back gently and slowly on the lever will cause the loader to drop and then it goes up...

    L3600 glow plugs- manual push button

    My glow plugs are not working. Every other tractor or piece of equipment I have used has always had a manual switch for the glow plugs. I really enjoy the simplicity of my L3600 vintage (minimal electronics). I am thinking about installing a push button to control the glow plugs. I trust...

    I am trying to get my loader to work after all lines were replaced. The system has 15 gallons of Kubota fluid plus what did not leak out. It shows full on the sight glass (also replaced with brand new one). I have ran it (engine running at medium speed and control valve being held in position...

    Picture of hydraulic hose on Kubota LA 680 loader

    I have looked on the Kubota site and Messiks but I am just ending up more confused. Can someone help me out by taking a picture of the LA680 loader control valve hose and where they go. Mine I marked carefully before disassembly and it seems to disagree with what I see on web pages. I really...

    Hydraulic Banjo fittings

    A bango fittings on my hydraulic outlet block are leaking. L3600DT with a 680 loader. I removed the old crush washers and install new ones; tightened it and the joint leaked. So I torqued it a little more and snapped the bolt. Any tips on making this type of banjo joint work? What is max...

    Outlet block for the loader hydraulics. Valve reassembly.

    I am referring to the block under the right side floor board where the hoses connect for the loader. On the bottom side of the block there is a valve? What is the correct order of assembling the "shims". There is a washer that goes in first and then I have a "shim pack". One shim has a hole...

    Three point does not actuate. L3600DT gear transmission

    I replaced the steering lines, rebuilt steering valve, reassembled, changed the hydraulic filter, put 10 gallons of Kubota fluid in (site glass is not clear enough to see, so I used a "dip stick" in the fill hole and the oil seemed to be at the site glass height) and at first the steering did...

    Grill homemade for L3600

    It seems like the L3600 grills are all trashed? Does anyone have a plan for a nice homemade grill and lights? I am not interested in bolting a piece of expanded metal across it.
