Finding the correct replacement component before touching a wrench saves time and money. This Kubota LA681 Parts Catalog PDF delivers exploded-view drawings and numbered tables for every major loader system. The 31-page manual covers the main frame, side frame, boom, control valve, and hydraulic cylinders. Component-level breakdowns isolate specific items like spool caps, detent float kits, and seal kits so you order exactly what failed. Hardware is called out with precision: boom grease fittings are specified as 90-degree 1/4-28T.T. units, and main frame bolts are listed down to their thread pitch (M14*1.5*40). Bookmarked by system, this file lets you pull up the diagram, identify your part, and call the dealer counter in minutes.

Kubota LA681 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Kubota LA681 boom cylinder leaking, need correct seal kit part number before ordering p. 23
Identify the boom cylinder seal kit in the exploded view on page 23. The Kit Seal is listed separately from the Tube 1 Comp, Rod 1 Comp, and Piston 1 components. Confirm you have the correct tube assembly before ordering. The cylinder nut uses a 5/8-18UNFP thread per the parts list on page 24. Cross-reference the serial number range to guarantee compatibility with your unit.
Manual Section: Cylinder (Boom) [Component Parts]Can't identify correct control valve spool cap or detent float kit part number p. 13
Review the Control Valve Component Parts diagram on page 13. The Kit Detent Float, Cap Spool, Plate-Seal, and Assy Shut-Off Plug are each listed as individual line items in the tables on pages 13-16. Match your part visually to the exploded view before submitting an order, as these items are not interchangeable between valve configurations.
Manual Section: Control Valve [Component Parts]Hydraulic hose assembly number unclear, need to match orange-marked hoses to the parts list p. 29
Examine the Hydraulic Hose diagram on page 29. Hoses are cataloged by specific 'Assy Hose X Hyd' part numbers (e.g., REF.No 010 for Assy Hose 4 Hyd). The table on page 30 also lists various 'Mark' items (e.g., Mark Orange, REF.No 240) as separate components. Match each hose by its specific assembly number. If you need the protective sleeve, the Guard Hose part (REF.No 040) is listed in the same section.
Manual Section: Hydraulic HoseControl lever bushing worn out, need correct diameter and part number before placing order p. 17
Find the Control Lever exploded view on page 17. The bushing is dimensioned at 5/8*1.00 (diameter x length) per the parts list on page 18. While ordering, pull the cotter pin spec: 1/32*1/2. The pin is frequently discarded during teardown and not reused, so order both together to avoid a second parts run.
Manual Section: Control LeverBoom grease fitting thread size unknown, need correct spec to order a replacement p. 7
Verify the fitting spec in the Boom parts list on page 8 after checking the diagram on page 7. The replacement is a 90-degree grease fitting with a 1/4-28T.T. thread. Confirm the angle before ordering: a straight fitting will not clear the surrounding structure. This part is listed alongside the spring lock pin and circlip components.
Manual Section: BoomMain frame hardware mixed up during disassembly, need bolt specs to reorder correct sizes p. 3
Consult the Main Frame parts list on page 4. Three bolt sizes are used in this assembly: M12*1.25*80, M14*1.5*40, and 9/16-18UNF*1-3/4. Match each bolt to its position in the chassis diagram on page 3 before ordering. Confirm the correct spring lock washer is listed alongside each bolt, as washer sizes vary by location on the frame.
