got my l5460 yesterday, gone today

And I definitely need to do something different with the hoses to the BB as they currently touch the wheel under some cases. Wish they were shorter, too, as the form a really big loop for brush to catch in (I know this from experience already).

At some point I may ask the dealer if the l60 kit comes with the 90 out of the back, just out of curiosity. Course none of this is hard to change if I decide to.

No rush to sort it out, but I am very glad I noticed that my one hose was self destructing before it did.

As a favor to the owner of the dealer, have you made them aware of what is going on? Or since the warranty is with Kubota, do you have another dealer that can address this?

Not many tractors have underbelly protection or have a skid plate option, I was shocked at how many hoses hung under my 5095.
I solved that problem. Thread bellow has pictures.

I like it. I wish I were handy with metal like you. Maybe in a couple years when my new shop compound is finished I can learn to weld.

I saw that too. What a difference, love it.

I just wish Richard would buy a Grand L, so he could make some neat stuff like that for them.

Like you, all that stuff is way beyond my skills.

My top'N tilt cylinder had side ports and had the interference with the bolt attaching the lift arm to the rock shaft just like you show in your pics with the hose damage. I had the cylinder revised to top ports and have over 400 hours on it with the revised cylinder and no problem. Mine is a L5740. Unfortunately I didn't catch the problem as quickly as you and I ended up with a big round bale in the middle of the road, a broken cylinder rod end, and a tractor sprayed with oil.

Just for that reason is why I now have all Kubota top links for all L models and smaller with the hydraulic ports on the top.

I had not read the cause of your big leak that you mentioned in the thread about regen. I guess I dodged a bullet by catching it before the hose was chewed through.

Could some of the same effect be done by turning the 90 adapters I have upwards?
