This is what it was like inside, it's hard to see but the orings had their day.
Also there was a washer, or collar missing from the unit which I found in the digger.
However it was not in good condition so I bought a new one from Kubota for 25+vat (for a washer!)
Excellent job .. thanks for the pics .. Hot water is your friend for softening your seals for re fitting .. bit of a job innit ? Looks like you are under control though
Please don't PM me for plant advice.. thanks .. Post in the forum where I will gladly help, as will many of our contributors.. as the info and responses will help everyone else, which is why we exist

they'm well nadgered
the joys of Kub ownership .... extra large wallet required
If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!!
fair play to you ..... in at the deep end that is great pix Boyo .... keep 'em coming .... not many'll have seen the inside of a rotary coupling, let alone stripped one ..... how'd you separate it .... blow it out with some air or it come apart easy enough ??

Thanks buddy, it's just held together with a circlip , then I tapped it apart with a rubber mallet
Ok, been busy this week putting it back together , not quite there yet,
I'm looking for some advice, has anyone got any tips on how to get this bolt through the spring, tightened with an Allen key. It's quite tricky.IMG_20180715_172633.jpg
This bolt goes on the bottom of the valve, I think to return the dozer blade.
I need a way to compress the spring but still get the tool in. Got me stumped at the momentIMG_20180715_172640.jpg
Hard to know what you need here ? ... have you to compress the spring against the spool rod inside a cap ?

Hi muz, I should have taken better pictures.
I have to compress the spring and fit a bolt through the two cup, which then goes into the spool,
So trying to hold it compressed while getting the bolt to bite is tricky.

lucky the O rings were so nadgered .... a tight one - or a bigger one, can take some separating .... they're pretty simple items really, but there's a lorra rubber bits in 'em

a piece of tube to compress the spring would allow you to get the hex allen key into the cap head cap bolt ..... deep socket would do perhaps and if you've a set would give you a range of sizes to play with
