    Kubota kx057-4 troubles

    Wow. What a thread. Sorry for you guys that are in the thick of it with your new machines. I have an older KX-71. Bought it used and been happy with it. It really sux when a manfacture suddenly has a bad run on a model/part and does little about it. Please keep us updated on it all. Jason

    Thumb problems KX-71

    Ok. Willie is five cents richer. I took the hose off and put a plug in it. Rooted around in that block and found nothing in the way of springs balls and the like. I then put a plug in the block and the thumb works like it should, albeit with to much pressure. I guess I'll have to treat it...

    Thumb problems KX-71

He told me that there would be an adjustment I could make on the control valve assembly. He believes that the close pressure is set to high, and the open pressure is set way to...

    Thumb problems KX-71

    I looked underneath where the foot pedal attaches to the cable. Everything seems to be operating like it should. The square nut on the block seems to be just a plug for that hole. I have had it out before and it just leaks out some hydraulic fluid like I would expect. Tonight I will look at the...
