Looking for someone familiar with the Kubota Top and Tilt kit (B-3032) and the B3031 "Auxiliary Hydraulic Kit" or even the B87034 valve mouning kit. I got the TnT kit (astounding, but true). The hydraulic and mount kits are no where to be had, apparently.
I'm not concerned about that as I can fabricate a mount kit (more or less) and can get the valve, etc locally or online, once I know what I am doing. (or, more accurately, trying to do. Always an adventure). The valve appears to be an open center, 3 spool valve 10GPM, with PB port. I could get away with a 2 spool, lever or joystick.
The kit did come with instructions, but I could use some clarification on exactly what the hydraulic hookup to the tractor was intended to be by Kubota, as it most likely worked well that way. Clearly, they intended the valve to be securely bolted to the ROPS, with a set of "bulkhead" quick connects into which plug the hoses to the TnT cylinders. What is not clear, to me, is how to plumb the supply and return to the valve. Part of this is that, apparently, the "stock" setup is a bit different as a WR Long 4 in 1 bucket and valve were installed. This take supply from the FEL valve PB port into into the solenoid valve, and from that PB port, it goes to the BH via a hose.
It seems the Kubota tie in is at the quick connects for the BT751 BH. Trying to clear up some uncertainty.
There is an existing "supply" to the BH, via a hose from the FEL PB port to the WR Long valve. From there is another hose with threaded fittings at both ends, from the WR Long PB port, to yet another hose with a threaded fitting at one end and a quick connect at the other end. That goes to the BH when connected, or into the quick connect vacated when the BH is removed ("bypassed" some say). So, I guess I could simply replace that hose with something from the WR Long PB port to the new valve (supply) and use the salvaged supply quick connect hose to go from the new valve to the BH, when connected, or into the bypass.
It should work fine, I think. If I am off base here, please let me know. If anyone has a new or used mount kit would save me a lot of time and effort.
