Loader How to reinstall an LA681 loader on my Kubota L3710

Does anyone have the owner's manual or instructions for putting this back onto my tractor. I took it off o.k. but I can't seem to get the dang thing back on. Assistance would be highly appreciated. It it not the same as the LA682.

What is not working?? Can you not connect the hydraulic hoses? Or is it lining things up?? I don't have the same one but I think they all go on about the same.

If you can not get the hydraulic line connect, you might have to relieve excess pressure... a rag, hammer, and a punch helps...

Let us know...

Thanks for responding. Hydraulics are fine. Just can't get things to line up right. This loader has 2 pins on each side, one toward the back and one in the front. I can get the back pins lined up and in, but then cannot quite get the front pins lined up. Trying in reverse order, I can get the front pins in but then the back pins won't go into position. Super frustrating. That's why I think I need the precise directions.

It can be frustrating. If you are not on level ground, it can be next to impossible. I would try moving the loader a few inches and see if that changes things. Take your time and don't force things. When it is right, it will fit.

That sounds like good advice. Thanks.

Maybe watch a YouTube video. I watched an L4060 loader removal / attach video a few years ago, and the operator had some great tips and info.
I have never taken off my loaders across 2 tractors and 15-20 years.

This turned out to be excellent advice. I just used a lot patience and kept jiggling. It took quite a while to get it "right" but then it just popped in. Thanks everyone.
