Which Kubota tractors would a B7308A Third Function Kit fit?

GreenMtns · Sep 6, 2020

My third function quite working on my B2650 this spring. Feeling that it must be in the one of the 3rd function solenoid valves, I priced a new valve assembly. Wow, knocked me off my chair. Over $1300.00 while a new full kit was just over $700.00. Guess which way I went.

So I now have a new kit and since it is very easy to change the assembly out I proceed after supper. Hopefully I will be using the grapple tomorrow.

NOPE

Now I dig deeper into the system. Having installed one earlier on a B2601, I kind of knew what I was getting into. When I moved up from the B2601 to the bigger B2650 (Yup, Always buy a size bigger that you think you need.:laughing

, I decided to have the dealer install the kit as well as the rear remotes before delivery.

All went well over the first year but after the winter, no 3rd function. I pulled it apart and found the it was simply one of the 3 wire connectors that had pulled apart. The wiring was zip tied all along it's track as it should be, but it was tied close together on both sides of the connection as well as at the base of the loader lever. Normally this should not be a problem but here in the northeast where it gets very cold in winter, everything contracts.

I am guessing that when moving the loader lever when everything was -10 to -20 last winter pulled one side apart. Easy fix. plug it back together and only zip tie the side after the lever.

However I am left with an extra complete Kubota B7308A 3rd function kit. I am wondering if it also would fit the B2601 and the new LX2610 with the standard loader, not the quick attach loader.

Anybody have an idea?

Thank

Nobody? Really?

Wholegoods (dated 9-10-2018) has it listed under the B2650/B3350.

Don't have a newer copy, so cannot comment further.

Thanks moship.

I was thinking (hoping) that it might also fit the open station LX2610 with the LA534 loader since it is almost the same tractor as the B2650.

It might, but I don't have access to a newer wholegoods document that included the nex LX series.

Perhaps a call to the dealer will get the answer you're looking for.

B7368 and B7369 are cataloged as 3rd function kits for the LA535 loader which is installed on LX tractors. A third choice is a Landpride 380-344A.
Conventional wisdom would suggest the B7308 kit would work, but there are likely to be differences minor or significant. The Landpride alternate to your B7308 is a 380-168A.
