To operate the front loader, the hydraulic oil pressurized by the
hydraulic pump flows from P port through the boom control valve (4) and
the bucket control valve (1) to P.B. port or T port. Since relief valve
is not equipped in the front loader control valve, the main relief valve
in the tractor operates.

from the valve body (28). Clean all parts with a suitable solvent, and
dry with a lint-free cloth or air. Visually inspect all parts for
damage. Install the spools to the valve body, not to damage the O-ring.
Kubota LA243 Loader - Bucket, Boom and Hydraulic Cylinders
Bucket and Bucket Cylinder
1-Pin, 2-Bucket Cylinder, 3-Bucket, 4-Pin
Remove the pins (4) the lower pin (1) and remove the bucket (3).
Disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the bucket cylinder (2). Remove the
upper pin (1) and remove the bucket cylinder (2). When installing the
bucket cylinder (2), the hydraulic port should face inside and be
careful of the direction of grease fittings.
Boom Cylinder and Hydraulic Tubes
1-Pin, 2-Pin, 3-Boom, 4-Boom Cylinder, 5-Side Frame, 6-Hydraulic Hose
Disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the boom cylinders (4). Remove the
pins (2) and remove the boom cylinders (4). Disconnect the hydraulic
hoses (6) with quick couplers at the control valve. Remove the pins (1)
and remove the boom (3) from the side frame (5). Remove the hydraulic
tubes from the boom (3). When installing the boom cylinders (4), the
hydraulic port should face inside and be careful of the direction of
grease fittings.
Piston Rod Assembly
Drain hydraulic oil from the cylinder, and secure the tube end of the
cylinder in a vise. Unscrew the cylinder head with the adjustable gland
nut wrench. Pull out the piston rod assembly from the cylinder tube.
Visually inspect the cylinder tube for signs of scoring or damage.
Insert the piston rod assembly to the cylinder tube, not to damage the
piston seal on the piston. Install the cylinder head to the cylinder
tube, not to damage the O-ring on the cylinder head.

Place the slide jig (2) on the piston (4). Install the O-ring (3) to the
piston using the slide jig. Install the piston seal (1) over the O-ring
using the slide jig. Compress the piston seal to the correct size by
installing the piston into the correcting jig (5). Do not turn (roll)
the piston seal as you install it.
Piston Rod Bend
Place piston rod on V blocks. Set a dial indicator on the center of the
rod. Turn the piston rod and read the dial indicator. If the measurement

Dismounting LA243 front end loader from Kubota BX2350, BX2360, BX2660
tractor
Side Frame
1-Stand, 2-Spring Pin, 3-Hydraulic Control Lever, 4-Protective Plug
Raise the boom until the stands (1) can be rotated. Stop the engine.
Remove the spring pin (2) holding the stand (1) to the boom. Slide the
stands (1) leftward and rotate it until the hole in the stand and pin on
the boom are aligned. Then slide the stand (1) rightward and insert the
spring pin (2). Start the engine and run at idle. Dump the bucket
approximately 20 degrees. Lower the boom and raise the front wheels
slightly. Lift the front wheels with the bucket. Do not attempt to lift
the with the stand. Stop the engine. Remove the mounting pins from LA243
loader side frames and hold them in the plate of side frame. Start the
engine and run at idle. Slowly move the hydraulic control lever (3) to
rollback position to raise the loader side frames up and out of the
receives of the main frames. Stop the engine. Slowly release all
hydraulic pressure by moving the hydraulic control lever (3) in all
directions. Disconnect the four hoses with quick couplers at the control
valve and place them on the right side of the boom. Place the protective
caps and plugs (4) on the quick coupler ends. Start the engine and
slowly back the Kubota BX2350, BX2360, BX2660 tractor away from the
