Product Overview
A remote hydraulic lever that has become stiff, loose, or disconnected can make a good tractor feel unusable. This cable links the operator control to the auxiliary valve so the selected remote function responds when the lever is moved.
Choose this part when the original cable is stretched, seized, kinked, or broken. It is an aftermarket replacement, not a Kubota-supplied part.

- Flexible sheathed cable replaces a damaged or binding control wire
- Approximate overall cable length is 38.5 inches
