@TheOldHokie may not be able to make these for a while. He mentioned health issues in this thread on hydraulic kits

Ah bummer, I hope he gets well.

Thanks. I had actually heard the rumour, but I don't like to spread rumours or speak for others. ;-)
I'll shoot you a PM, I'm patient! I'm sure the fine folks at the US CBP will find a block of metal with holes highly interesting!

And o-rings! Don't forget the o-rings!

I wonder...

If instead of labeling it "tractor parts" on the customs form, I called it, oh, say "nuclear missile parts", would they come deliver it personally to your door? <lol>

Not a rumour or a secret. Respiratory illness has me pretty much confined to the house. Shop work is out of the question right now.

Ok, I'll stop sending US residents your way for now. Let me know if the situation changes.

Get well soon.

torch, do you still have blocks available? I need one for my L345, however, I only need the pressure and return on one side (facing outward toward the wheel).

Yes, I have some of the "universal" design ready to go. If you prefer one with only the specified outlets, I could make one custom for your application.

FYI - received my block from @torch and it comes better packaged than parts from the Kubota mothership! I just need a few more bits to get my B1630 loader back in working order!

These are obsolete and no longer available. I have recently been contacted by a member asking if I will make him one of these after reading how I made mine. I know this comes up from time to time and would like to gauge the interest others might have -- if I`m going to set up to make a couple, I may as well make a few more.

Here are some photos of what I made in the past. I made the two shown out of steel, as that is what I had on hand, but I`m thinking aluminium would function just as well, be resistant to corrosion and cheaper to ship. I`m not sure of pricing yet -- I know metal pricing has shot up over the last year -- but would estimate it to be in the $30 to $50 range. Plus shipping.

Are you still making these, or do you still have any for sale?
