Here are pictures of setting up the top link. Real easy and only took 10 minutes or so.

The next step for me was to re install the sub frame for the backhoe. If you don't have the backhoe you will omit this steps of course. I used a jack to make sure the bracket holes would line up. I put in the very front bolt, than swung it up into place and added the rear bolts. Once all bolts...

Next step is to re attach the rear back brace that ties in the two ROPS main frame braces. You will need a punch awl to line up the holes as the system is really tight. Be careful not to strip threads. You can also re attach the gas tank strap. The next thing you will want to attach is the...

Got to finish up the tractor today and I have to say "WHAT A RELIEF" its ALL done!!!! Here are the steps I took to put the tractor back together. Take it slow because putting her back together smoothly means re installing stuff a certain way. I started off with the seat. Make sure to re...

Step 10. Now its time to install the levers. I started with the bolts which have jam nuts, make sure you put those on first. Once they are on I started with the inside lever which is closes to the seat. You will need a 17mm wrench for this and after you install the lever you can now tighten...

Step 8. Now its time to install the quick disconnects for the rear remotes. I have a couple of different types of sealant but I am going to use Loctite 545 for this job. Step 9. THIS STEP IS ONLY IF YOU HAVE THE BACKHOE.... Now I went to 2 different hydraulic parts stores here in town and...

step 6. Once all the banjo fittings have been tightened down, you can now tighten the three bolts that hold the manifold onto the base plate. Step 7. The rear remote manifold and pipe fittings with the front and back plate that looks like the symbol of the black widow. The instructions give...

step 5. Install overflow tube. But first you need to add o-ring grease to the tube and oring provided. Than take off the plug on the transmission. Once completed install tube as shown.

step 4. Install new dual remote manifold with the included 3 bolts. Do not tighten them right now. Once that is installed you can now install the new main supply line from the bottom of the FEL block to the dual rear remote valve body on the top left. ALL BANJO FITTINGS will have two copper...

Step 3. SKIP THIS STEP if you don't have the backhoe installed.... The factory installs two hoses for your backhoe. One hose is hooked up through your joystick on top. The second hose is hooked up on the FEL block down below. This leads me to my grief with this kit. The kit does not give...

step 2. This part is for anybody who has the FEL installed on your tractor. The FEL block is underneath the step platform outside of the forward and rear peddles. The block will have a banjo hard plumbed pipe going from the FEL block to the top of the transmission. This pipe has to come off and...

After receiving the wrong kit which is literally for all the rest of the small compact series tractors, this kit is ONLY for the XG3025 tractor to include the hydrostat and 12 speed shuttle shift. DISCLAIMER, Some steps in my install were not shown in the install manual and I figured them out...

14.) Another critical part. The brake pedal needs to be pushed all the way down and held down with the piece of wood again. This will also cause the brake clutches hanging on by a thread in there slots. You need to be very careful or you will knock the clutches out and into your gasket maker and...

10.) Now the nut has been torqued down, its time to use a punch die to bend the tb in on the shaft indention. You want to use a punch just the size of the shaft indent. Do not over do this as you can break it off. Just enough that it will not allow the nut to back off. 11.) Now its time to cry...

8.) Time to install the shaft into the final drive casing. This task could be done easier with two people but once again I had to do it by myself. In my case I had the final drive on my jack platform with the 4X4 wood block under the final drive casing to keep it level. Then you have to...

4.) Install inner race and inner bearing. I tipped the final drive unit upright to make things easier as the bearing will just fall out otherwise. 5.) This part I did things my own way. First I matched up the old damaged shaft with the new shaft. I took out the wheel studs. We learned much by...

INSTALLING NEW PARTS IN FINAL DRIVE!!! 1.) Make sure the inside of the final drive hub is clean and dust and lint free before starting. Make sure the mating surface that buttons up to the tranny is spotless as well and ready for gasket maker. 2.) Install outside race and bearing. 3.) Now...

UPDATE!!! Well we have good news and bad news. The good news is I received the new drive shaft, bearings and nut today in record speed fast delivery from LS. So it looks like I will be putting the final drive assembly back together first thing tomorrow morning. I will post step by step pics of...

Since I am dead in the water, I thought I would be proactive and get everything cleaned up and ready for when the parts come in. I attached the outer wheel bearing that you can see was spinning on the shaft.

My tractor is the 3025H and is a 2018 model. I am having to replace wheel bearings to my final drive hub assembly in what began to be from a seal leaking bad. My bearings came from Japan and I attached a picture of the outer bearing that got to hot.

Well my worst fears came to bare its ugly head. As a mechanic, you always have to wonder why a part failed and what may or may not had caused it to do so. In this case, I new I was losing a fare amount of hydraulic fluid of a couple of quarts when I changed the fluid. That is enough to know you...

Another update and it has been a VERY long day. Lets start from this morning around 8 am. I read the repair manual again for the brake section as well as the final drive section. It states the final drive unit was heavy and to use a cherry picker or forklift. So I had to block up the tractor so...

Now before I take any bolts out, I than drained the transmission in both drain bolt locations. I put all the new hydraulic fluid back in there containers sealed up. After that was complete, I was than able to take all of the bolts out of the final drive assembly so I can finally get to the main...

After that was all completed, I than finished taking the 4 bolts out of the ROPS frame supporting rail system on top as well as the 4 bolted to the rear final drive casing. Once that was complete it was now time to take the linkages off for the range selectors, and the brake assembly. This...

Next steps is to take off everything in the way of getting the final drive assembly off. The first is the left side lower sub frame mount for the Back Hoe. After you take off that sub frame, you will than take off the lower plate for the 3 point hitch rail. Next on the list were the blinker...

Got a lot done today on the repair. Had to call my Tractor Dealer to go over another hiccup in which we will discuss a little later. For starters, After writing up on needing advice on how to jack up the tractor. In the tractor manual that comes when you purchase new. It discusses jack up points...

First day being able to get started on the repair and all ready came up with a snag. So I could use some suggestions before I tackle it in the morning. The first thing that had to be done was a good wash to make sure there was no dirt or globs of mud since I need to reuse the new hydraulic...

Back history to the needed repair. Purchased brand new 2018 LS3025H from Hobby Tractors in Utah. I live outside of Phoenix AZ and chose them due to them being on of two dealers closest to me. They promised me they would take care of me and allow me to make most warranty repairs if needed since...

Good morning everybody, I am having a difficult time trying to find locations to use the 4 point tie down locations on my 3025H when towing on my 16' Dump trailer. The manual states not to tie down to the front axle. I have the back hoe on my tractor for some projects as well. When I tow the...

The big question! How do you keep your tractor clean around the zirk fittings with the grease seeping out and causing a mess? Washing the tractor is a huge chore in my opinion. Lots of areas and spots for dirt to get into as apposed to an automobile. The areas that are most difficult for me...

Hello everybody, I am on cloud 9 as of yesterday evening my tractor AKA "Big Papa Smurf" was delivered around 6 pm. My wife and I tried to make it home before it was being off loaded but we didn't make it in time. I received everything except my 16" bucket and the 50 hour service filters which...
