B3030 Hyds

Check for colored tape on the hoses and also there are colored marks on the fittings like they were done with a marker. If you have a loader manual, its in it.

If I had to make a bet - I would bet that Kubota's color scheme is pretty standard.

I have a B3200 (which is a very similar tractor to the B3030).

If it would help - I could trace out the lines on my loader setup and give you a color - FEL function list.

Dear all,
I bought the 3030 used (90 hrs) with the blower attached and it wasn't 'til I went to change out to the front loader that I noticed the color issue. I now have the loader attached and it works as expected (with all colors aligned). Although the snow blower is a Kubota item (B2781), the hose bayonet fittings all have the same colored dust caps as opposed to the loader which has colored caps to match the 4 male fittings on the 3030. Why the blower needs different color coding (four different colored plastic rings on the male and female fittings) is a mystery. Perhaps I can get a set of properly colored caps and fit them to the blower hoses so the next guy won't be scratching his head.

Jim Wilson,
Thanks for the offer but all functions are ok.

Lee John,
The only colors on male and female fittings are the dust caps and small plastic rings. The only thing the loader manual sez is (pg 26) "3. Connect the four hoses with couplers to the nipples on the control valve as indicated with color marks."

and J. J. - sorry but I don't understand your post - perhaps too advanced for me.
Thanks all!
Bill

If you are going to connect a loader valve hyd to the FEL, then you need to know what each hose does and where it goes.

Sorry if I mislead or confused you.

Thanks JJ, So, what's the FEL? Front end loader? All I know is that the valve body (if that's what it's called) attached to the tractor has four male outlet fitting coded with different colored dust caps, and the hoses are coded the same way. The loader works justa fine as described by raptor749.
What's the PB valve??

PB stands for power beyond. Lots of hyd valves have this port, and it is used to pass fluid downstream for the next valve.
