You'll need a large metric socket for the bolt that holds the hydraulic filter screen on the right side of the tractor. You can only get to this with a socket. I went to Lowe's and bought 26 mm and 27 mm sockets because I wasn't sure which one would fit. I think it was the 26 mm that fit. I ended up returning the other one. Hopefully this will save you from spending the better part of a Saturday afternoon searching for a 26 mm socket.

Just did my B7510. Same thing. Manual says so.
Anyway, you need the Kubota filter wrench proivided with your owner's manual, probably a strap wrench (as my filter wrench wouldn't work on the "double painted" factory filters - and one was severly dented in shipping prior to assembly), a 26mm for the hydro strainer screen (I used an 1-1/16" socket), 14mm for the front drain plug, and a 17mm for the THREE rear drain plugs.
I had no problems when I did my B7500 two years ago, but this time on my B7510, I forgot the one drain plug on the right side behing the screen plug as thye maual says "both sides",but I saw "both plugs" - and there are three, not two on the rear. When I filled up the case with new UDT, it overfilled with the first of the LAST two quarts. I thought it was air-bound, so I removed the front plug, bleeded a fair bit of air, and the level went down, but still ran out the dipstick tube. Ultimately, I re-read the manual and realized the one plug I missed, drained some from that plug to "remove" any settled filings or dirt on that side of the rear-end, and drained the last bit of overfilled fluid out of the rear center plug. I figured that after replacing 98% of the old fluid with new fluid, cleaning the hydro screen, and draining all points of the transmission, I should be good to go. I had mostly mowing time on the tractor, and know it was not abused by me, so I will do my "50 Hour" service again next year, if I feel so inclined. After all, the next required service fluid/filter change is at 300 hours. That two quarts not drained shouldn't make a hill of beans. The filters and fluid (Super UDT) are too expensive to do it again this year with the way I baby the tractor anyway.
Good luck. Be prepared for a loooooooong drain time for the front drain plug. Two hours and mine finally stopped. I tried everything. Anticipation!

My 7610 will need the first 50hr soon too. What's the dealer cost on this service - are DIY'ers saving that much? I could do it, but wonder if there's some smart thinking behind letting the dealer give it at least one real thorough going over?

I paid about $120 for all filters and fluids. This includes an $8.50 fuel filter which is technically not necessary for the 50 hr. service. My closest dealer quoted me "about $150" for him to do the service but I'd also have to pay a pickup/delivery charge of $75-$100. So for me, it was worth doing it myself.

My dealer's website states that the 50 hr service for a tractor with BH is $172.50 + parts. Pickup/delovery to my house is an additional $250. Does that scream DO IT YOURSELF, BONEHEAD to you?

The filters will probably be hard to get off. I don't know why, the darn factories always put them on too tight. Same thing happened on both my Jeeps, filters stuck and had to be mangled to get them off.
I have a huge pair of Channelock pliers and used them to get the hyd. filters off. Crushed the filters but that didn't hurt anything.

Well, I couldn't find the time to tackle this 50hr service myself (not to mention my garage is only half built right now, the two are directly related /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif), but I also thought it might be good to be 'on record' with Kubota that the dealer did this important 1st service. Didn't want to risk a potential warranty claim denial after being accused of flubbing the service.
Anyways, here's the breakdown...
$124.47 - fluid, filter and parts cost
$280.00 - labor cost
_______
$404.47 - total + tax
Materials cost seems to be right on par with what has been mentioned before, but it sure looks like either my dealer is slooow or has high labor rates. Not sure what their hourly is because labor is listed as a flat charge and not broken down on the receipt. I'll be checking.
Sounds about $100 high based on the other labor quotes posted here, but I'll let some of that sting ease knowing they accomodated my 'rush' request. Called @ 10:00am Thur., dropped @12noon, picked up Fri a.m. @ 8:00, so thats is pretty darn good. Not missing the tractor for the weekend: priceless!
Plus, I tossed several steel shipping crates and some misc. steel channel, L's, etc. from their scrap pile on the trailer. The crates have already been cut down and will be used to make benches, a welding table, racking, etc. in my new garage. Hey, who else has a workbench made from the very shipping crate their tractor arrived in? Now, THAT has to be worth something. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
