L3200 Subframe Directions...Missing...Need help

homerjsimpson137 · Jun 9, 2019

OK, found a BH77 Backhoe for almost nothing, drove 4 hours to pickup a new BH4988 SubFrame from Messick's. Started install yesterday and found out subframe has no directions. Good news is that I mounted and guess about where most things went...I just have (2) hydraulic hoses, a hydraulic connector block and orange bar, and a Black bar that I can for the life of me find out where they go. I think the black bar with the U-clamps mounts somehow to the ROPS, but I'm guessing. I think the hydraulic block mounts to the orange bar to hold the hydraulic line coming to the back...but guessing again. I don't even know where to connect the two hydraulic hose....

Anyone out there have any directions or ideas before I call Kubota and scream at them on Monday?

Here are the picks I took of parts left to install.... Maybe these will help someone help me understand what the heck to do next....
Thanks in advance for any help.

Check your other post on buying the BH77 - there is a video showing the Hyd block install and another link. Also no pictures came thru

Lets see it this does it now.

I believe the bracket with the hose connections is for the pressure side hydraulic line on the right side that gets mounted to the orange bracket. Then when you are not using the BH the return line gets connected back to that.

The black bracket may be a hose support? Don't know - someone with one of these maybe can take a pic.

I got it done....with no help from Kubota. I also found the complete install manual for subframes. I am going to upload for all to see. PS, the back bracket was for the repositioning of the toolbox. The Orange bracket was for supporting the hydraulic lines going to back of tractor. Thanks all for the help. Kubota USA did nothing for me...Now off to connect up the backhoe for the first time.
