The Husco is a series 5000 but the configuration numbers are proprietary so no help there. I can't make out the letters and numbers below the Vickers emblem. That might be the model designation.

Looks like a 110 TLB should flow 23.6 gpm.

A picture of the nameplates would be helpful.

Almost a sure thing to bend a rod using ether on a Kubota engine.

NOOOOO! No ether on any Kubota!

The blowing up filters (at the sealing surface) is a real thing. I've read of this multiple times here and on OTT. If I recall correctly Kubota made some kind of change starting with the BX24 to try and alleviate the problem. Unfortunately I can't find the post about that to confirm it. Seems...

Not the spring. In this case it would be ball.

Good point. I would expect within a few seconds one would know one way or the other.

If it were mine, I would clean the relief and make sure the "spool" slides freely in the bore. Might even be tempted to bump the starter to flush a little oil out. Reassemble and give it a try. If I wanted to test the pressure, I would rig hose to the test port, to a tee with a pressure gauge...

Best I could do is take pictures and attach.

The charge relief valve is located between the filter and the PTO shaft. Look up. There are three plugs facing down. The charge relief valve is the center plug with the hex head. The other two socket head plugs are for checking forward/reverse high pressure relief setting. The charge pressure...

My guess it happens when one uses the steering wheel to pull yourself up on the tractor. My wife does that on our BX22. I've replaced the steering wheel once because of that practice.

I have no idea where the OP is located, but by the pictures I'm sure it's no where near NE Wyoming. He hasn't been on this site since the 21st so this is probably another thread with an unknown outcome.

Piston ring compressor works great but you probably don't have that or you wouldn't be asking. I've used a cut soda can and hose clamps before. Oil or grease on the seal and tube helps too. Be careful you don't cut the seal. You might need to hit the rod end with a hammer to get it started in.

I urge you to set up a test light to replace the fuse. It's the way the pros find shorts. Easy to do. No more feeding it fuses. The light is current limiting so no danger to the wiring. Easiest is to find an old headlight or taillight assembly and rob the bulb socket and some harness. Connect a...
