    L39 Kubota Backhoe problems

    Thanks for all the help guys. I think it's clear that I have some guck (technical term) in the valves or spools. I have a good friend that is a spectacular HD mechanic that works just down the road that has agreed to tear in to it for me. His tools and experience will all but guarantee...

    L39 Kubota Backhoe problems

    The pressure test that I did was for the main relief valve n the tractor. I connected the gauge to the quick connect supply port at the hoe connection. The hoe on the L39 is detachable. I wasn't testing pressure during operation.

    L39 Kubota Backhoe problems

    Update: I had some time to play with it tonight. No solutions yet, but checked a few things and I have a better description of the problem: -I cleaned and reconnected the three fittings on the hoe. -I pulled the boom and dipper relief valves out. They look clean and are not stuck. -I...

    L39 Kubota Backhoe problems

    I will definitely try cleaning and recoupling the connectors. I would love for it to be something so simple. I've got a couple other ideas to try tomorrow night if I get some time. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the input and suggestions.

    L39 Kubota Backhoe problems

    I’ve got a problem and I’m looking for some help. The issue is very weak backhoe on my Kubota L39 TLB. I know this is a little small for this forum, but I have a Deere 310C as well for credibility. :) I bought the tractor recently second hand from a non-Kubota dealer with 400 hours on it...

    John Deere 310c Backhoe problems

    My 310C has consumed the reverser. Looking for a rebuild now. Does anyone know a reputable source, preferably in Canada?

    HoeClamp for JD 310C

    Thanks! That's exactly the info I was looking for. This will save me a TON of pain in trial and error. My welder is actually a great fabricator and machinist as well. I'm sure he'll have this figured out in no time. I really appreciate it.

    HoeClamp for JD 310C

    I checked with Rockland about their Smart Thumb (the one that Deon used for inspiration) and they no longer make it. The new hoes have have the outside of the dipper extend instead of the inside, which wouldn't work with this design, so they discontinued it. I'm wondering if anyone out there...

    HoeClamp for JD 310C

    Deon, I have a JD 310C, so very similar to yours, with a 24" four tooth bucket. Photos and dimensions would take a lot of the design work out of it for me. I have a good friend (from the East Coast actually) that owns a fabrication/machine/hydraulic shop that has agreed to take on the project...

    HoeClamp for JD 310C

    Deon, great idea. Would you be willing to share details (specs, dimensions, pictures) of what you made? I have a good friend that is a fabricator that is on stand by to work on a thumb for me. I never thought of using the extendahoe to operate the thumb.

    HoeClamp for JD 310C

    I'm thinking about an Amulet Hoeclamp for my JD 310C. Does anyone out there have one on this particular model?

    Backhoe foot print size

    I know there are more qualified people here that can give better answers, but the Deere 310 is the same class as the 580 and the 410 is the same class as the 590. I don't know what the equivalent is for the 510. Both brands use single letter suffixes to indicate generations (A, B, C or J, K...

    need info for John Deere 310 loader

    I have a 310C TLB. Is that what you have? If so, I may be of help.

    JD 310c Winterizing

    One thing I forgot to mention is that my 310C has what appears to be an aftermarket battery disconnect switch. Perhaps it is common for these to have a parasitic draw on the batteries. Low batteries obviously will make starting a challenge regardless of temperature.

    JD 310c Winterizing

    I have a 310C and live in Northern Manitoba. I had to look up a celcius to farenheit converter to make sure I had the numbers right. I do my best not to start mine at all when its colder than -10c or 14f. Anything approaching freezing, and the block heater makes a big difference. I was told...
