Kubota/B7800
I have abused this tractor for 15 years. I use the loader to Max capacity often hauling my wood racks and spreading a lot of rock. Surprised something hasn't broke before now. Anyone else ever see a broken spindle? 20190711_144159.jpeg20190711_144150.jpeg

That's been broke for a while. It just now fell off.

Since you asked...

Yes, I've seen broken spindles before.

Yes, it is not uncommon. I think you found the other threads on this issue within TBN.

It was a field fix for mine. Not a big deal.

I broke one of mine a couple of years ago and like your it had never been welded all the way around.Just another Kubota snafu.

Yeah I since have found another thread on this. Now I wonder if/when my right side will fail. I am on hilly terrain and now it worries me a little.

Are these welded, machined, or cast?
I just figured I cracked the first half sometime earlier.

I just broke mine 2 days ago. Not sure how I did it though.
