On the FEL/Bucket issue, it is really hard to tell. I know pictures depend on the angle you are viewing etc..

Here is a pic of mine (B2920), and although it seems straight to me, others may look at the pic and think otherwise. In this pic, I was standing on the tractor looking down towards the bucket, trying my best to keep the camera level, ha.

Is the hook on your bucket dead center? If so, what I would do is raise the bucket kind of like you did so it is level with the hood emblem. Then take a long straight edge and place it along the center of the hook, and on the center of the hood emblem, and see if the end of the straight edge crosses over the center of the gas cap or steering wheel. I am assuming all those are centered of course.

The hook was installed when I got it and the got it off-center. The bucket is level just see the silver brackets holding the hydraulic lines, pretty clear there.

Rotella T-5 is what went into my Kubota at the 50 hour service. Next time, I'll likely use the T-6, synthetic, but I don't think the engine cares a bit one way or the other. :D

What was the 75-90 for?

Some people, especially in warmer climates, use 75w-90 in their front axle. I kept the SUDT in mine. Philip.

Yup, front axle. Our climate is anything but warm in the winter up here. The 75w-90 is synthetic. I like the protection in the front axle, as I am in 4x4 most of the time.

Kubota manuals call for either UDT or Gear Lube. I'm a gear lube guy.

Got it.

Hey, I noticed your metal hydro lines seem bent to me in the pic. I took a pic of my setup, trying to angle it close to what you posted. Did you do that so they would not rattle?

Here is what mine looks like:

I agree about his lines being bent, not sure on the loader being off center though. It is often easy to not sit perfectly in line with everything making things seem out of whack. I know mine looks a bit off sometimes, then I look at it again and it seems off the other way. I wouldn't worry about it if everything is tight.

Does the LA364 not have the metal cover that goes over those hyd. lines when the parking stands are up?

Well the lines were not like that when I got it last June but not sure what did that.

I've never seen a cover over that area, I'll have to check on a new one. It seems to work ok but guess I've done something to it.
