  • 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.

    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.

    If you don't have a vice just put the rod and pin back onto the tractor, then take off the nut.

    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.

  • @Wierdwires

    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 ?

    • @SmallEngineDIY
      @SmallEngineDIY  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

  • @peterellis4262

      Just cycle the loader a few times with no load before using it. Any trapped air will work its way out.
