I have a L35 that has a broken Hydraulic Cylinder Case for the 3 point and Kubota has supposedly stop making a replacement for it. The part I am in need of is 32751-34130 if anyone has one or if I cant find the part, does anyone know a workaround for the 3 Point?

I am sorry I don’t have a useful answer for you but do have to ask, what caused that?

Whatever it was, I’d very much prefer to avoid it.

It looks like it can still be ordered through dealerships but it's not cheap ($1200).

Thanks! that was worth a shot. I called 3 dealers, 4 parts houses, and 2 salvage yards this morning but no one has that part either. I have searched for 32751-34110, 32751-34130 and 32751-34114. I called 15 salvage yards yesterday and this part is gone before they put it on the shelf. Is there an aftermarket place that makes Kubota parts?

Thanks again.

I went across a neighbors field to fast with the hoe to low and caught a stump I think. I didnt notice the part broken until I got back to the house.

Did you call messicks? If they cant get it is safe to say its obsolete. Let me do some research, I believe you may be able to fit one from a different model on there. You would have to buy a loaded assembly.

I did call Messicks for all part numbers but they couldn't get it.
If I can make something fit, I can do that. Let me know what I need. Thanks!

Might send a PM to "007 kubotaguy" on this forum. He may have one or know where to send you.

The L35 is basically an armored-up Grand Lxx00 machine.
Poking around at Messick's there are many different part numbers for the Lxx00 and Lxx10 "hydraulic Cylinder" - lots of superseded #s most around $1k if available. If you can find someone there or another dealer/parts person who has experience with cylinder casting breakage on Grand L's they can get some help from the factory rep to see what comes close to the same fit and function. Having a whole line of models in danger of becoming boat anchors over a weak part is not a good look - Kubota has a solution I'm sure - maybe just not widely publicized.

I'm guessing a used top cylinder casting from any Lxx00 or Lxx10 would bolt up to the trans case to restore the 3-pt ?

Problem is his is the TLB backhoe version. I have found one from an l series that would work for 3 point, and position control. The issue is how the front of the housing is machined. His machine has a double stack hydraulic feed that the prior is not machined for.

DRAGOK, do you have the broken off part (pic)close up? I have discerned the front O port flange pipe goes to the loader circuit, the rear O port flange is the feed in to the system from the front main implement pump. The two bolt flange pipe is the feed to backhoe. They reversed this pipe as a pb instead of the delivery on the regular L.
If the castings are the same, the part can be finished/machined to accept the feed.

All the l 3300-3710 look similar to these pictures with a single hydraulic feed.

I dont have the original piece unfortunately. I will work with the dealer and see if I we can find a way around this with that single hydraulic feed. Here to crossed fingers. Thanks a lot for you help!

Good luck with the dealer. It will be a miracle if they say any more than the part is discontinued. It is not overly complicated to reengineer that setup.

I'm sorry I can't help you. But, for a fellow L35 owner, can you elaborate how the backhoe could have caused this? I'd sure like to avoid it! Thanks

I had a conversation with a guy at Wingers and I bought the part for a L3710 he had in stock. I am going to try to use that part and reengineer the hydraulic lines by adding another valve where the old line was connected and send it directly to the backhoe. I should have the part on Tuesday and start figuring this out.

How did the replacement from the L3710 work out on your L35? I have a l35 with a cracked housing and probably broken parts inside it and cannot find a replacement. Your guidance would be appreciate.

He was last on the forum in June of last year. You should try a private message.

Common courtesy is to post the final fix to assist others who may need help, like you.
That obviously didn’t happen here.

Sorry for the long delay, the Rockshaft housing fit right on but it takes A LOT of hydraulic hose engineering. I have had adapters made to fit from the L35 to the L3710 and then added, removed and changed hoses trying to get it to work. I had to buy all the components for the 3710 Rockshaft housing but it finally works. It unfortunately doesn't have the power of the old one. In my opinion, it would be better to make a hydraulic lift using the backhoe brackets to lift a 3 pt. I have spent a lot more money and time trying to make this work.
