Backhoe Broke my B26 today

[Gary Fowler]

$84 for parts and about 5 gallons of oil. I didn't go back with the UDT oil this time. I am using the Super S Premium Universal hydraulic oil that I got at Atwoods for $39 for 5 gallons. I don't recall what I paid for the UDT a couple years ago from the Kubota dealer but it was much more than that. I actually think the HST whine is less with this oil than the UDT oil. I will do a review on it later when I get to using the tractor enough to warm the oil. The UDT got really hot so I will see how this stuff works.

Gary, glad you got your orange baby back in good shape. Having it out in a big rainstorm and pooped on by the cow's cant be good.

The only good thing was it got a good bath from the storm.

Cant believe it took me about 1 1/2 hours to put in one bolt and tighten two hose clamps. Tools involved, long screw driver& awl to help get rubber hose started over ridged pipe at hydraulic pump , 10mm socket, 14 mm socket, ratchet, 20v drill motor with adapter to turn socket (to get bolt started that held the filter housing in place because I couldn't get my fingers on it to get it started), socket swivel, 3" socket extension, 18" pry bar to align ridged pipe, 2 funnels, 1 1/2-5 gallon cans of hydraulic oil and a brother in law to hand me things while I was under the tractor.
