It covers positioning the hooks off-center due to quick-attach frame clearance, marking, center-punching, drilling pilot and full-size holes, and torquing hardware with a 19mm wrench/socket. Useful specifically for L-Series owners wanting a step-by-step bolt-on hook install, not general tractor shopping info.
An individual Kubota L3901 owner sharing a hands-on DIY project from their own property, part of an ongoing personal how-to series.
Proper placement is in line with the cylinders, but on the L3901 the quick-attach frame doesn't allow it, so hooks go in an open area behind the bucket lip with some structural support.
A 19 millimeter wrench and a 19 millimeter socket are needed to tighten the bolts and lock nuts on the bucket hooks.
The kit includes lock washers, flat washers, lock nuts, and bolts, with the bolt going through the top and a flat washer, lock washer, and nut on the bottom.
No, the kit uses lock nuts, so Loctite is not required for the installation.
