    L2550 3pt hitch modifications

    I originally used power beyond ports and a separate control valve, but now I am changing to a selector valve fed by the main control valve (bucket tilt) so I can use the main control valve for both functions. I had the engine rebuilt so a blown engine won't end the L2550 life. Presently I am...

    bouncy 3 point lift arms on L2550.

    Thank you for the input. Lifting holds ok with lowering speed valve closed Even overnight. With the lowering valve closed I can still raise the implement but only at a point maybe 3/4 up to the top.

    It shakes at any point when you stop lifting. I do not have the draft option. Thanks for your reply.

    Any L2550 (1986) owners out there?

    I have a 1986 L2550 and I want to replace the hydraulic oil filter. The problem is I can't find one like is on this tractor. I have looked at two and they are all different too. Mine is long and appears to gave a bolt that goes all the way up into housing. Any info would be appreciated.

    Thank you. Sorry I am not responding very well. I had to take some time off to have a cancerous tumer removed from colon.

    Thanks Dan, I see what you mean. How does the manual control valve under the seat work into that? It holds the load up when closed.

    Yes it bounces along with the hitch . I tried raising the hitch and killing the engine. It does drift down. Not fast but down in a matter of seconds. When I say control is moving I don't mean the handle. I mean the feedback rod.

    bouncy 3 point lift arms on L2550.

    I copied the required page but am having difficulty loosening the the front nut. Is in a bad location. Also noticed the position control only starts raising when the control is near maximum height. Could the feedback arm just fall out of adjustment? It's not been touched since 1986.

    The 3pt hitch drifts down at whatever speed is set on the speed valve under the seat. It raises normally and begins to shake when raising action is stopped. Actually everything works normally when the down speed is closed except it won't go down of course.

    M Series 3 Point Drifts Down

    This sounds similar to my problem except mine happens in faster cycles. Also was grading our road today and noticed the FEL drops a little when the 3 point is bouncing. I graded our road by mainly using the hydraulic top link for height adjustment. Not too bad for an 80 year old. Thanks for your...

    When lifting a box blade the hunting almost becomes violent.

    Loader in float position?

    I have a Kubota L2550 with a BF400G loader and when I float the bucket the 3 point hydraulics fail to lift it's own weight. Just something to watch out for.

    L2550 3pt hitch modifications

    Hi, I also have the L2550 D that I use to maintain our road all seasons. What did you end up doing for the hitch? If you used hydraulics what source of power did you use? We should compare notes sometime. Mr. Lynn

    homemade bushings

    An update as to how I handled replacing the bushings in the arms for the FEL. I purchased a length of tubing, used for bushings, that would go from one arm to the other. After carefully removing the old bushings I welded in the new bushings at the arms and then cut off the excess. I beveled the...
