How to install REAR REMOTE on Kubota MX Tractor - Complete STEP BY STEP! 

Good to know thank you!

Thank you and yes it was.

Thank you

have you done your cab model remotes yet? I am here for the same reason, looking to add rears to my LX3310 cab model. a lot less clearance and room under there to work though so i'm curious if you've tried it yet. thanks

@@daveotterness7823 Yes I have. It's not too bad for the mechanically inclined. You MUST remove the seat, seat mount and right rear tire. If you lay the parts out on some paper towels as you unbox each kit, it will make it much easier to follow the process. Install does require notching the steel inner fender slightly to provide clearance for the valves. Install is basically identical to this video. In RU-vid, search for this - Kubota B3000 Installing Dual Rear Remotes by Claremont Classic Garage . It is nearly identical to the LX series. The biggest pain is installing the lever pins and tiny cotter pins that connect the levers to the valve. A long needle nose pliers is essential.

Don't mind at all I greatly appreciate the support! Facebook is where I got most of my initial subscribers but I'm off of there now.

Larry, can you share your parts / kits you ordered? My dealer is clueless.

@@keithmalatesta7660 part numbers are in the vid description also.

@@rednecktech82 d'oh!! Yup... now I see them!! Thanks man... great vid. I am subscribed!

@@keithmalatesta7660 No problem, it does kind of surprise me though how many people don't read the video descriptions lol. I typically list tools needed, torque specs and part numbers when applicable.

Appreciate the feedback thank you!

That's about right. The first valve is the most expensive because it includes the primary parts...each valve after that is less. I was told about $750 for the first valve and $500 for each additional. When it was all said and done my 2 remote setup ran me $1400 out the door.

Definitely do yourself though, it really is easy. The front 3rd function I made a video of would have cost $400 for the dealer to install...I didn't get a price for this though.

Thank you! Yes, I don't make vids just for the sake of making vids...this one was truly for the people :) I couldn't find ANY info when i was researching to do my rear remotes so figured great time to help some others out.

@@rednecktech82 Thank you for making this. I watched it multiple times before installing the two rear remotes on my MX5200. You are correct the directions are mainly pictures, no real 'parts list', so naturally there's left over bolts, o-rings and some other rubber bushings maybe? I don't know what they're for and can't find them in the instructions. Needless to say after putting it all together it leaks from the triangle block, the tube and possibly some other hard to reach places. Ugggg! I put grease on all the o-rings, seated them securely before assembly. I'm afraid they may have dislodged while I held it with one hand and started the bolts with the other. I really don't know. Is there any hints or tips you can share with a struggling old man, please?

@@bradyglass69 there should be o-rings between the engine and triangle block and then between each remote block...also one at each end of the tube that gets plugged into the engine and triangle block. Mine was good after install then leaked slightly later so i had to retorque the bolts on the triangle block.

@@rednecktech82 Looks like I'm taking it back apart today and making sure everything is in the right place. Then putting it all back together. So I don't have to worry about any of the left over bushings, rings and so forth?

Just out of curiosity... what are you using the additional circuits for? I assume a hydraulic top link for one set? (I am picking up a MX5400 on Friday!)

Thank you! 👍

Thank you! I'm not positive on the part number 83049 you listed for the diverter valve but otherwise yes it sounds right.

Directions list compatibility for MX4700, MX5100, MX4800, MX5200, MX5800 and MK5000 so not sure on your model. I added the parts numbers to the video description...I didn't have any luck finding anything online but I also didn't have part numbers to look up like I do now.

Direct from Kubota dealer... I couldn't find anything aftermarket either.

@@rednecktech82 thanks for responding!

Please and thanks

No that is the standard setup. When you buy your implements they will have 2 male connectors.

If I'm not mistaken you ordered an extra L8303 (valve)...the BASE (MX8451) comes with everything for the 1 set of rear remotes...then each additional rear remote (MX8452) is purchases separately from each additional valve (L8303)

No snap ring removal. Push in to connect them...they will snap in place, then to release/remove them simply give a firm pull and they will come back out.

I agree, I'd want the float option.

I now own hilly fields and a flail mower so I'll be adding the L8304 to mine here soon too.

No...You need the base remote kit, which is the base box if you want to call it that. That bolts onto the tractor and comes with the lever(s) and things and then you would also need a valve kit for one set of remotes for your top link, two valve kits if you want a second set of rear remotes.

Kubota dealer...I had no part numbers, I supplied those now so maybe others can find a better price but from what I've seen it retails about the same everywhere.

I did because at the time it was my only option. I have since found Summit-Hydraulics.com and they may have the rear remotes and even third function for you for much less than the manufacturer.

Part numbers are in the video description but just go to your Kubota dealer and tell them you need rear remotes for whatever your model is.
