- The hydraulic cylinder on the front end loader was leaking on this Kubota tractor. It is not a tough job to rebuild with a seal kit, just take your time!

Thanks for this video. My dad passed away last fall and I’m the one running the farm now pretty much alone. I am, by no means whatsoever, a mechanic of any kind. I also can’t afford to hire a professional mechanic. I wish my dad would have been able to show me these things; he was brilliant. But now, with your video and the other amazing tutorials on TH-cam, I’m doing my own plumbing, mower repair, building, and now tractor repair. In a very short amount of time, I’m becoming pretty darn handy. I only wish Dad could see me now. Thanks again.
This is awesome, i’m sorry for your loss btw. I lost mine about a year ago now. Mine taught me many things but at the time i wasnt interested (I guess he knew i would learn it anyway even half-heartedly caring). We learn out of necessity the most it seems to me. These videos nowadays are a great tool and life would be much more difficult without them. It amazes me to think “dad’s” had to learn these things without ‘em. Must’ve been pretty difficult for them, but they do it because they care enough to provide. Keep at it, it’s good that you see you can do it, although it’s not easy.
I’m rebuilding a similar bucket cylinder and a couple differences I noted. The nut is held on with a roll-pin, which needs to be removed first. The inner seal carrier was bonded to the shaft with some sealant, which makes it difficult to remove. I’m still working on removing that without damaging the main rod assembly.
Thank you, seeing you struggle made me purchase some cheap seal pliers, ha!
One problem I'm having with this is the paint on the rod. That can contribute to the sweeper damage and may be why the other fellow done it twice and now you're rebuilding it again! That rod needs to be clean. Anything on that rod, scratches, paint , tar, all will damage your sweeper seal.
I'm sure you figured it out but that tiny o- ring went over the threaded end behind that nut.
Great vid.!!
I've done mine several times each and I wish I'd had you tube back when I first got it. They are pretty self explanatory though if you have any curiosity or mechanical knowledge though.
Great video for a newb like me to this whole tractor thing. My L2900 started leaking this weekend and now I have the confidence to learn something new and tackle the job! Thanks again!
Awesome. You can do it.👍👍
Well, I got it back together. Thanks for the hint about collapsing the inner seal. Grove side out would have helped my confidence but steady as she goes, Lad.
Thanks for all the demonstration. It was very helpful and took away a lot of fear.
Good informmation, thank you! I suggest one cleans the jack off away from the table or clean the table before reassembly.
Thanks for this video. Very comprehensive, which was exactly what I needed having never done this job before (had been putting off attempting it for ages). You taught me everything I needed to know and my job turned out perfectly. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for making this video. It takes the scare out of it for me to try it on my own. I have a BX23 and it is the back-hoe cylinder. I should be very similar. You did an excellent job.
Thanks! Let me know how it goes.
No need to remove the cylinder from the tractor . just pull shaft out !
Excellent tutorial! Thank you for making this project very DIY doable! I have a B7800 with 700 hrs and it’s 19 yrs old, this will be the first replacement of seals and wipers in the upper pistons
Wow. They lasted a long time! Good luck! 👍👍
Project done! Great success! My only challenge was getting the collar cap removed, I didn’t have the spanner wrench and couldn’t find one to buy, I had my local Kubota dealer unscrew the cap with their tools! Again, thanks for the tutorial!
Good, Informative video. Thanks
Nice job that's how we used to do on my work at a power plant
Thanks 👍
Thanks for your video. I have the exact same tractor with the same problem. Perfect instructions
There bad about leaking period
@@philliphall5198 I bought a seal kit and followed the video, easy and cheap fix. really appreciate these videos
Great video! Thanks so much! I'm about to try this next weekend on my BX. Pretty sure I blew the seals out when herkin' and jerkin' a vine covered fence out of the ground lol
Good luck! I hope the video helps you out. 👍👍
Amazing video, thank you. I’m going to do it on my Kubota Tractor
I was going to do the same, but for the price of the gaskets and the trouble of doing the work, I found it was cheaper to buy beefier hydraulic cylinders from Majestic. Simply take off and replace!
How did you know which to buy? They are a direct replacement without modifying?
I'm about to do the cylinders on my John Deere. This gives me a good idea what to expect. They wanted $650 a piece for new cylinders at the JD stealership.
John Deeres' moto should be "Nothing runs away with your money like a Deere"
Got the steal part right 😊
Thank You!!
I like watching clumsy people it makes me feel normal.
If you don't have a vice just put the rod and pin back onto the tractor, then take off the nut.
Good point! Makes a ton of sense
You don't have to remove the cylinders. You can just pull the rods out. Lots of extra work that's not needed
Grate video very helpful
Do you have to bleed the lines after installing it back on?
You scare me with that pipe wrench. Try putting some protection on the exposed cylinder bf you use the pipe wrench, that way if you slip you don't kick and damage the cylinder. You could also try placing a short 1/4' bold in the hole for a better grab and less damage to the piston locking ring. With a bolt in place, with no pipe wrench, you can now tap the head of the bolt with a large punch and hammer to unlock it and twist it off with a large channel lock pliers; just my observation.
Great video. You’re such good teacher. Give me confidence to do 0:08 it myself. I also found the tool you mentioned on Amazon. One thing I am missing is the diagram and the part number on the web for free. I wonder if you can kindly let me know the part number since I have the same tractor as the one you demo and also a copy of the paper you showed on the video. Greatly appreciated.
Great video. I’m fixing mine following your video. Just curious … is the repaired cylinder need to be filled with hydraulic fluid prior to install back to the tractor ? I’m not see on the video… how air in cylinder is removed ?
You can fill it after installation. When you start cycling the cylinder back and forth, air bubbles will be squeezed out. Make sure you cycle it enough before lifting any heavy loads.
This was tremendously helpful. I'm assuming that the lift pistons are essentially the same drill? I just noticed a broken seal sitting under one of my L3010's lift pistons today :(
fitting on side of cylinder, with hex head, mine is leaking there
where did you get the Kubota rebuild kit? Thanks - Great ViD!!
Well I several different sizes of spaner wrench’s but im200 miles away
Sorry but great video again
I'll be more prepared next time.

That chrome rod needs replaced…. That’s why it’s not lasting. JMO
Do you know where to buy the gaskets I really appreciate it my friend thank you
I am in the process of doing the same job on my 3010. Is there any bleeding of the hydrolic system when you reconnect everything?
Just cycle the loader a few times with no load before using it. Any trapped air will work its way out.
@@SmallEngineDIY thanks
Makes it easier if you use the right tools. Not just a hammer and a pipe wrench. 🤣🤣🤣
What do you recommend instead? About to do this repair myself
You'll spend over $100 easy on those tools that they recommend you use. What you see in this video is just patience and take your time and it'll work out fine
Thank you!!!
