Wish I could tell you guys more about recall. Don't have a recall number, or if it affects other M models or maybe more?? Anybody else had a recall for their Power Beyond hose on FEL? Frankly I just have not made the time to call my Dealer and inquire as I said I would in original post.
On to the Husco Intl. FEL valve. Below is response I got from them. Sounds just like Bird's response.
The 5000-B214 valve is only available to Kubota as it is a special design
for their application. Their part number for the valve is 75540-61013.
Kubota or a Kubota dealer should be your best source for service and
operation data, as well as drawings and parts that you may need.

I sent a follow up message to Husco inquiring if they or Kubota held a Patent on this valve either separately or jointly. Didn't even get a response. That raised my interest so I searched for the US Gov. Patent web site. It's
www.uspto.com. I searched and found Hsuco had 20 patents on varied hydraulic vavles and devices. Searched "Kubota & hydraulics" and came up with 232 patents of all descriptions!!! Everything from trannnys, to HST'S, to 3 PH apparatus, to Backhoe Stuff. I'm still trying to view and sort these patents. You can view and print the text but the GIFF drawings take a special bit of software (link to software on Patent web site) to view and print. Don't ask me " I don't know Giff from Gaff" but got the software and am able to at least look at some of this stuff. If anything comes of this I will let all know. I plan to write Kubota to ask if they have a Patent # on this valve. I hate it when somebody tells me they can't give me the info I want!! Am rather tenacious too!!!!!
