Drain plug, clutch housing

[ackerrj]

Hi folks, I am new to the forum (and to tractors) and this is my first post in Kubota...

Couple of weeks ago bought a new B2320 w/FEL and I'm reading the manual... P68 says under "Service as required": Draining Clutch Housing Water.

"After operating in rain, snow, or tractor has been washed water may get into the clutch housing. Remove the drain plug and drain the water."

Seems odd that the housing would not be waterproof.

Has a anyone had experience with water in the clutch housing?

Have you drained it after snow plowing or a snow storm or rain or a wash?

Thanks!

Mine has a test port. You push it up and if water comes out then you remove the plug to drain......I need to test mine as I have to cross a creek to get to some of my property.

I wonder if mine has a test port?

Guess I will ask the dealer.

Thanks for the idea!

Thanks, I always wondered what that was for.
