Multiple L35 tractor parts wanted

[Daryl Ammons]

Looking for the following items for my L35.
-3 point hitch hardware. I currently have a BT900 backhoe on the tractor but would like to use the 3 point hitch for mowing and scraping the driveway.
-a narrow bucket for the backhoe.
- valve and plumbing to be able to use a grapple on the front end loader.
-quick change for the front end loader. The front end loader is a TL720.
I would appreciate information about where I might find these items, preferably used, or if you have the items for sale I would love to talk to you. I am in NC.

Welcome aboard. How long have you and your Kubota been together? Picture, of the tractor, we don't care what you look like or your condition .

That's quite a wish/shopping list. You're unlikely to find those parts used, but maybe you'll hit the jackpot. To keep this post from getting too long, I'll make separate posts.

3ph parts - I'll put this warning first since you'll be swapping the backhoe on and off. When you remove the hoe, you have to reconnect the hose on the tractor to keep the hydraulic circuit complete. And you have to switch the positional valve to direct flow to the 3ph. BUT, and this is important, before you reconnect the backhoe that positional valve must be switched back to prevent $erious damage to your backhoe control valve. This is noted in the tractor or backhoe user manual.

The L3961 kit is available from Kubota for $7-800. It's heavy, so if, your local dealer will include it in his shop order and not charge you freight, he may be cheaper than on-line ordering. Don't be tempted to buy universal kits; the L35 will make spaghetti out of them. If you want more info, use the search function with 'L3961,' and my handle.

Backhoe bucket - l can't help much here. I think the narrowest factory bucket was 12". If I was looking, I'd have the pin diameter, hole spacing and gap opening in my back pocket so I could measure any candidates. And maybe a picture in my camera.

Third function - most folks, and Kubota option kits, use a solenoid valve with a rocker switch or two buttons on the joystick to control front functions. Parts are available from Summit Hydraulics, Surplus Center and others. @TheOldHokie can help you there. You would remove the hose from the power beyond port (the one on the rear of the valve) on your loader valve and connect it to the outlet of the solenoid valve. Then run a new hose from that port on the loader valve to the inlet of the solenoid valve. Then run two work lines from the new valve to an accessible location up front. Hook up the electrics and you're done. Of course adapters, hoses, mounting, etc. are involved but that's the jist of it. It's a very common install.

I took the unconventional route shown in this thread. Toward the end, it shows how I ran the line to the front. That may be of use to you.

L35 Third Function

Today I (almost) finished the valve installation for the L35 third function. Here's where I've left it. You can see the new control lever and capped off hose connections. The lever can be removed by unscrewing it. It'll need some adjustment for length and position, but until I have an implement...

Skid Steer Quick Attach SSQA - here's my saga. I bought an ATI QuickTach on Amazon. You might call Messicks or a knowledgeable dealer to see if they know of a Kubota part that would fit. It would have to be one off a loader with the top bucket link. You'll want to convert your bucket or buy a new one. Used SSQA buckets are scarce.

L35 TL720 Loader SSQA

I've decided to convert my L35's TL720 loader to SSQA. I found a NH! dealer about 2 hours away that will order me an ATI Tach-All QA-KU4 with about 4 week delivery. 2 Kubota dealers have been unable to help. Is this my best option?
