Broke my PTO shaft

[chucko]

Well based only on the picture and not knowing your or her I would say you should trade her in you are truly diffident model numbers and it will never work out or you are going to have to get a lot of work done just to keep up


good to see you got it fixed do you mind me asking the cost (of the repair not her I can't afford her)

I'll trade her in on a new one when she gets old and worn out, until then I'll just have to make do

Well, it wound up costing right about $1200. He charged me cost for parts (he got through a local Kubota dealer) and that price also includes the 400 hour service (changing all the fluids and filters, checking and adjusting just about everything on the tractor) since he had to break the tractor down anyway and drain the fluids, and I already had 385 hours or so, so I just had him go ahead and do it.

I don't have the receipt with me right now so I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing if I just had to have the repair done and not the service it would have been around $700-800. He listed the labor charge as $400 -- he didn't charge any extra labor for doing the 400 hour service, just filters and fluids. I asked him to do that after he had already quoted me $400 labor plus parts, and his labor price didn't change.

ouch $1200 but considering the repair and the amount of work it seems fair. You going to hook up the tiller to make sure it was repairs right

Heck no! My dad went ahead and tilled it with his tractor. I'm thinking disc for next year. Maybe I'll hook that up right
