What did I do?

[Jasper2018]

L3130 with LA723 loader.
I ordered a ssqa adapter plate and New bucket from EA.
When the ssqa arrived I installed it as per there video. Knock pins out installed ssqa. When bucket arrived I picked up bucket tried it out and won't dump. I dont know what I did wrong and hoping someone here can help.
I've attached some pics of the setup to help.

To my eyes, it looks like maybe you have two things happening:

1) the angle of the bucket in the backside where your SSQA attaches, appears to be a smaller angle than the other bucket in your picture. The bucket in the background has a steeper (almost perpendicular) angle on the backside of the bucket which should allow a steeper dump angle.

I would suggest trying it with that other bucket shown in the background of your picture. Perhaps the new EA bucket is incorrect for your set up?

2) The SSQA mounted on the tractor has the bottom pin (the one that attaches to the loader) pretty far back from the face of the SSQA plate. Someone with an L series tractor could maybe measure theirs (with factory SSQA). It just looks much further away from the bucket than on my machine.

edit: not sure if this helps but look at the relationship of the pins and steepness of the back of the bucket in mine. Granted, this is a B model tractor, but I think the angle of the backside of the buckets across most models/series are pretty similar. The back of you EA bucket doesn't look anything like it.

Looks like you need some more parts. I'm not sure what they're called, but I've circled them in the picture below.
The parts list is confusing for your tractor. Some bucket setups show them and some don't. Your arms have the bushings for them. Did you get the adapter from Kubota or aftermarket?

OP's definitely look aftermarket. Looks like it says "LONG" on the tag.

You’re correct and I’m pretty sure those linkages should have been necessary for the pin on bucket to work correctly as well so they should have already been there. Maybe not, but those cylinders are extended so far as to make me think so.

It's missing the triangle linkage.... the WR Long quick hitch is fine, there are other parts missing.

Thanks. I see that now. I got an ATI adapter for my L35 which has the bucket links. The ears are set back like OPs to allow for the links, so I think the angle is right.
What's confusing is the pin-on buckets in the parts list use the links, but the SSQA ones don't. The fork frame and bale spear shows them.
Kubota made a SSQA adapter that apparently didn't use the links.
Maybe one of the old-timers can straighten us out.

I kept the linkage arms as you described. Tomorrow I will remove the ssqa add put on the linkage arms.
Thanks to all who responded.
I will post tomorrow how it goes.

Also after you get the linkage on does the block in the photo attached hit the bottom of the loader arm also????

Yes, it should or come very close.

In this picture it looks like your locking pin is not in the mounting hole. There is space at the bottom of you quick connect, and the lever is not all the way down.

Be careful to make sure both pins are fully engaged or you will twist the alignment bar.

You don't need to remove the SSQA adapter.
But as others have said you do need to put all the bucket links back on it!

It also looks like the SSQA is out of time(one pad hits the back of the bucket before the other)
this will make it impossible to latch both latches.
You will need to fix that timing, it's easy to fix, just ask after you get the links on.

Update on linkage.
Linkage went back no problems. Also changed pins. Still need to install zerk fittings, and grease everything up.

Thank you all
