    Remove hydraulic spool valve from Kabota L175

    Thank you very much. The thread mentioned was how I realize that you can’t just block them off. I’m also not completely ignorant to hydraulics. I’d like to think when I move past just thinking about it I would’ve realized it but either way I’m glad I read about it. I’m not sure if they were...

    Remove hydraulic spool valve from Kabota L175

    It is my understanding that I can’t just plug this off at the hydraulic cover. Is that correct? I want to remove it because it’s leaking and currently serves no purpose. I’m likely to replace it to operate a hydraulic top link and side link for the three-point hitch. It was for a plow. so for...

    L175 engine front shaft

    Excellent. Thank you I’m also on the lookout for the pulley that goes on that shaft I may utilize that for the attachment point if I pursue it. fingers crossed, I should be picking up a loader on Wednesday. This one’s on a machine and is functional. I believe it to be running off the machines...

    Gearbox repair for FMC sidewinder

    Both useful suggestions. I did get it off. I will be disassembling that brush hog and addressing the gear box. Likely with a replacement and rebuild the other one and put it on the shelf for later. I picked up another free brush hog..it didn’t turn but everything looked promising.. I inspected...

    Gearbox repair for FMC sidewinder

    The current shaft on the gearbox has a 7/16 shear pin. Can I just buy this and drill out the 7/16 hole on my driveshaft to half inch? I’m worried about damaging my tractor. I have another stupid question when I I picked up the tractor it still had the shaft on the PTO with no implement which I...

    Gearbox repair for FMC sidewinder

    I like that answer. Is there any way to shim the horizontal shaft further into the vertical shaft to gain more engagement? I’ve never worked on these. I’m not completely inexperienced with gears and hack jobs.

    Gearbox repair for FMC sidewinder

    I’m looking for Parts to rebuild what I believe to be an FMC sidewinder.. i’ll attach some photos. I wish I took better ones when I had it apart. what I found interesting is the horizontal shaft is just a shaft with a gear on it. It doesn’t look like the other ones I’ve seen on YouTube for...

    ROPS installation L175 & L225

    One step ahead of you on that I already did the 10 on the front mounting plate where the bumper or hydraulic pump would go….. whoever attempted to remove the plow frame that was on there and snapped a bolt. I don’t know why they didn’t just finish taking it off..

    I have a L175 and the RPM gauge does not work.

    Did anyone order the part? Has anybody ever disassembled one to see if it can be repaired? I’m not sure if mine works. I don’t see it visually spinning, but I’m not sure if that’s just the end of the cable that’s broken off in there. I didn’t wanna take it apart without checking with you guys...

    L175 engine front shaft

    thank you I misinterpreted your drawing. Both options are similar to what I figured had to be done. You could probably hand make something too. That would engage the lines. It’s just not the most convenient location. All right, thank you very much. You’ve been very helpful. I’m sure I’ll have...

    L175 engine front shaft

    This is similar to what I was looking for… what I don’t understand is how the shrink disc over the sleeve you made grabs onto the splined shaft.. you didn’t split the sleeve you made so that it can compress around the shaft? I understand what you did I think I just don’t understand how it...

    ROPS installation L175 & L225

    I just called my local dealer, you have to speak with somebody in sales. Tell them what you want and provide your serial number.(not necessarily required, but a good idea.) eventually they’ll get you a price for your ROPS… mention the ROPS plan and they call somebody from corporate with a day...

    L175 engine front shaft

    I know this has been discussed in depth. Does anyone have a definitive answer where to get a female shaft with the appropriate splines to attach to the front motor shaft?
