My backhoe is 2 hrs away and in a pretty remote area. Drove all the way up there last week and had a cracked fitting so I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a repair kit with crimper and fittings for the kubota? Thanks

I'm going to make a cement ballast for inside the bucket, just no where else to put it up front. As far as chain tension, I don't know, I'll have to look it up on how to take the play up and yes the boom will lift back of tractor off the ground

The side by side play is in addition to the boom (bubble) issue. Happens when I swing boom left to right, keeps going another 10" or so

So for the most part it worked pretty good. It is too heavy for my tractor tho. Pulls the front wheels right off the ground when going uphill. I had to stop and fill front bucket with stone's. 2 questions It has side to side play, when releasing the lever it will continue around 10" both ways...

I'm thinking maybe a cement block hanging off the bar where the suit case weights would go, this I can use the FEL

How would you guys add weight to the front of the B1550 without utilizing the loader....need that free

Not yet

Well here it is peeps. Everything works. Only problem is my head hits the rops so I have to bend forward a bit or hinge the rops forward. And definitely need a bit of ballast in front bucket 😆

Need the room for the seat

Sub frame is on. I welded the front bracket to the loader frame. No easy task upside down. I also had to leave those bolts out, the sub frame has to pivot to be put on so no way those bolts can stay in. I'm a bit concerned about that. It's to hold the rops on which isn't a problem it's 2 bolts...

So you're saying come FROM the hydraulic block to backhoe and return into the loader valve instead of what was previously mentioned which is the opposite ? Valve to BH and back to block

Well there is always this option. Not sure if he'll ship though he's 4 1/2 hrs from me

I ran out of welding gas so I can't complete the front bracket just yet but the rear hooked up rather easy. I had to take the hitch off though. My only concern is I had to remove a bolt on each side to get the frame to slide on. Deciding if I want to remove the frame and grind that section away...

This valve under the seat I believe locks the 3 pt so it won't move ? Should I use that

Maybe a sketch would help
