My bros father in law just called. He's working on a 2012 MX 5000 Kubota. Has less than 100 hrs on it. Putting a great bend front end loader on it. Loader valve has three hoses. He said he has worn himself out connecting ever which way but it won't work. He's real crafty. Just rebuilt diesel on their VW beetle, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. He just took this Kubota down and has it running good. The owners of tractor loaned it out and borrower got it hot and filled with water. Owner didn't check coolant. First winter got it. That's why so old with low hours. But, it's all going except the loader hoses. I was hoping someone here had an idea what we should do. I haven't even seen it. He wants me to come there, but I won't know any more than him at this point. I told him just wait, I have a place I can get some good guidance. So, here I am. I'd rather go down there with some idea of what's going on. I know if he's stumped, must be something serious going on. We have a hose making machine and all that. Just need to know what the problem may be. Tractor has never had a loader on it. This is first one.
