    Kubota KX016-4 limp left hand track lever

    Sorry, uploaded a cropped image. Full image of model plate attached. I think you're right though, it's probably the return spring on the left lever spool. Hi Midnightmoon, Sorry, I uploaded a cropped version of the the machine ID plate. Full photo attached. I think it's pretty much the...

    Kubota KX016-4 limp left hand track lever

    Hi Midnightmoon, No, it's just started playing up. Unfortunately due to Covid I had to leave it in storage for almost a year and now only just coming back to it. I can use it, I just have to hold the lever in the centre, not ideal but getting me by. I'm hopefully sourcing a workshop manual...

    Kubota KX016-4 limp left hand track lever

    Hi guys, Machine - Kubota KX016-4 I'm after some ideas as to why the left hand track forward/reverse lever has lost it's ability to return to center on it's own and feels 'limp' compared to the right hand lever. It feels as through a centering string has gone or something. The lever still...

    JCB 525hl-4B - Help with hydrauli hose change

    Hi Guys, Quick update. I double checked all hoses and they seemed routed to the right cylinder feeds. I then decided to reattach the fork tilt cylinder end to the fork carrier to give the cylinder some weight to return. Started the machine and operated the control levers and the tilt...

    JCB 525hl-4B - Help with hydrauli hose change

    Hi aerolift, Thanks for the reply. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one to use the aux feeds to replace the tilt feed. It also gives me three spare hoses, one I had to braze a leak on at the union. I can still use the aux, just at the back of the machine or run extension hoses to the...

    JCB 525hl-4B - Help with hydrauli hose change

    Hi all, I need a bit of advice with my JCB 525hl-4b. One of the the main hydraulic hoses to the fork tilt cylinder/ram split the other day. I've not been able to source a new one yet so have decided to use one of the aux hoses to the forks as the hose to the fork tilt cylinder. I've...

    JCB 525 Telehander - No foward drive

    Hi Stew, My jcb 525 has a Syncro Shuttle Gearbox, there is no clutch cable just a commander lever by the stearing wheel that operates the shuttle valve to engage the forward or reverse clutch pack. The 'clutch pedal' is just a cut-off switch to the shuttle valve which replicates having the...

    JCB 525 Telehander - No foward drive

    Hi all, Just to let you know the 525hl was running around like a spring chicken today. I remounted the repaired box over the weekend and put some oil in it today. Forward, Reverse and all gears are working well. I can now select gears whilst the engine is running too. No forward tolt on...

    JCB 525 Telehander - No foward drive

    Hi All, Parts have arrived and seem to be in order. The sealing rings are the newer plastic type which I wasn't expecting but should be fine I guess. Just a quick question. Should I use a smear of grease on the clutch piston ORings to help fitting? I know some ORing's don't like...

    JCB 525 Telehander - No foward drive

    That takes some doing to friction weld those disks together. I've seen over-heated clutches on enduro bikes, usually where someone has been stuck in a bog and cooked the clutch trying to get out. It can also be a problem in deep loose sand in the dunes for rallye raid bikes. I've sent out a...
