Adding rear remotes to a Kubota L3240

Impressive fabrication skills Mr. TMGT.

The welds on the fitting you modified are a work of art.

Thank you, I attribute any welding skills entirely to my welder lol, I just hold the torch and hit the pedal........

I hope to be back on this project next week, I'm only getting about 1hr a day to do anything and most of this week has been getting the mower ready to cut customers lawn. My next day off isn't until the 24th but hopefully I can make a little headway before then.

I really want to get the tractor out of the shop and I refuse to put the 700lb loaded back tire on until its done! (Actually its late enough in the spring I'll probably just put the turfs on now).

Great job so far TMGT! Looks better than the factory ones to me.

All the linkages look pretty nice.

Thank you, hope to be back on this project soon, have a few more fittings to order before I have my day off so I'll be able to complete it if all goes well.
Also have to pick up some 3/8 stainless hard line.

Made some good progress over the past couple days. Was able to make up some hard lines for to finish the tractor side up.

Cut out end bent up the mounting plate for the QC's. Turned out pretty decent I think and is very sturdy. (The picture of it cut out was of a rejected design but I forgot to get one of the final version before I bent it).

Also made up some threaded backers for mounting it.

You might have noticed that the other bracket only has 4 holes for 3 remotes, well the reason is I'm running a diverter valve so I can have 4 remotes total. This is the mount for the diverter.

Got the brackets painted and everything mounted up and connected.

Pretty happy with how the main remotes sit.

Made up all the hoses to connect everything. Really love having a hose crimper!

Diverter all mounted up, still need to be wired and waiting on some longer hardware to mount it (didn't have any M12x1.25x70 bolts). I think the bracket should provide enough protection for the solinoids.

.

The diverter sticks out a little more then I like but I dont think it'll be a problem, its going to have the T-n-T mounted to it pretty much all the time anyways.

Now I need to make up some lines for the top link and the rotary broom, then modify the fitting for the flail mower so I can use the 3/8 QC fittings (currently they are 1/2).

Looking forward to being able to use the tractor again, next up is adding the diverters for the 3rd function and SSQA!

Very well put together! You might consider doing one male, one female for each remote so you can correctly connect attachments without head scratching. Might not matter for everything but for some stuff it does.

Thank you, the rears don't matter to me for hookup, anything that needs to go on one way gets color coded zip ties.

The front couplers will get the 1 female/ 1 male treatment as anything I anticipate putting up there will need to be hooked up one way.

Very nice and impressive work. Very professional. Will add significant added functionality to your tractor.
