Kubota B20 w/ Hoe Hydro Issues

[jwiseguys]

I broke a fitting on the B20 and have noticed that the H fluid will overflow out the back at times and appears foamy, I replaced the H filter and drained the system before repacing with proper Kubota fluid from Taking a Napa.Filled to proper level etc. Ran it today for 1 hour and it was fine. Next time if I use the Hoe it might not swing left to right, that is the indacator that it has puked out some fluid. Did I miss something?
any ideas..........

have you repaired you're leak, and has it acted like that since it ran fine

 

[olde man]

if the answer is yes is it only the swing circuit you lose

His reservoir is probably to full and maybe there is an suction leak somewhere.

Does the B20 have a diverter lever/valve that you switch when changing from the backhoe to the 3pt hitch? My B21 and L39 do so I was wondering if it is fully engaging. That could cause the backhoe to run strange. The foamy hydraulic fluid would indicate air getting in the system to me.

I have checked the level and it is fine. No Diverter either. No Leak as I can think of. Ran the FEL Saturday with no signs of slowing or lack of lift. Guess I will keep lookin as I use it. weather has been an omen lately, but the days are gettin longer. Like to get it right before I start spankin on the salmon in the Big River might need it to lift the cooler!

Check your relief pressure and that will tell you about the condition of the pump and or the hyd circuit. If they are at specs, then you should be doing OK
