Hi all, Got an issue with my kubota KX161-3. A while back we managed to break the area around the dipper arm and the boom. See pics. Ever since it was “repaired” I’ve been plagued with the bucket ram either hitting and crushing the lines to the quick hitch, moved them out of the way but now the hydraulic line into bucket ram is hiring the stick and it’s only a matter of time before this breaks off. Any suggestions?
Show pics of the repair from different angles.
For one thing, the cylinder looks like it's in upside down. Your grease fitting protection is what's smashing your pipes. How sloppy are the pin bores at the end of the stick?
