Hydrostatic problem?

[CT_Kubota]

Ct Tree Guy, Please fill me in where were you able to find the SUDT. The local dealer does not stock it and insists that it's not necessary. Feel free to PM me if you would rather not post the name.

NewToy - LOL, I had a feeling I might have offended some loyal PBR drinkers with that comment. Sorry about that, I'll redouble my efforts to remain "politically correct". /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Here's to our hard-earned right to drink what we like best.

CT_Kubota - I don't see a problem with telling you that I got my SUDT from Midstate Tractor in Middletown. Great folks to deal with - they just took my credit card info over the phone and left it out for me so I could pick it up after hours.

super udt first came about in the l series with gst transmissions. In cold conditiions, below 30 degrees, the gst would not shift due to the small orifices . If you let the unit warm up, it worked allright, but when cold would not. later, on the m series, it became mandatory due to independent pto clutches and wet brakes. If not used in a M series tractor, the brake and pto clutch linings will come apart. $1200. repair. So, if you have wet brakes and independent pto, use super udt, I sell in bulk at $9.94 gallon. Its not worth the difference on your tractor to try to use the "cheap" stuff. As far as I know it is only available at Kubots dealers, although it is made by TROCO oil co. in O.K. hope this helps

I appreciate the info. I spend a lot of time in Portland so that's not out of the way.

I got SUDT from TractorSmart. Don't remember the price, but it got here really fast. Those guys are great.

Bingo RONJHALL. It was just what you said. Forgot to install that gear. I think I did use udt not sudt. Expensive lesson huh?

ronjhall: <font color="blue"> The HST input shaft continues through the HST and is connected to the PTO main shaft. The mid and rear PTO shafts run off this shaft ... my guess is they forgot to install the 14 tooth gear and snap ring that drives the PTO shaft for both mid and rear PTO. </font> /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

OK, I'm impressed. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

This month's "Golden Wrench Award" goes to ronjhall - take a bow Ron, nice job!

 

[ronjhall]

Did they install SUDT this time around?
It was not hard to find in the WSM. It is a line item with a single picture showing the gear and snap ring.
Dealer now has a mechanic that will never forget that gear again. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Hehehe, doesn't it make you wonder what that mechanic thought about the extra parts he had lying around after the job was completed?

Or maybe he has lots of extra parts lying around.... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

P.S. I don't think Tractorsmart sells SUDT (or any lubricants) anymore - too much of a shipping problem, if memory serves me right (which is questionable).

I could be all wrong but I believe the the fluid sold in Canada now is for colder climates and called Kubota pudt not a synthetic but for cold weather as I just bought some from a dealer in New Brunswick.I asked for syn. but they don't carry it.They are a fairly large kubota dealer and this is what they use.

I would think any mechanic with half a brain would check out the pto's after this large a job, the pto's are part of the hst, am i wrong her'e? Very good diagnosis ronjhall, would you please team up with barnboy on the 3030 fel problems, he's onto something with the stanchion mounting.

 

[ronjhall]

The gear is on back side of HST assembly. As a side note I looked at a couple of the B & BX parts list that I have. They all have a similar PTO gear setup. I would not be surprised if the "L" series has a similar setup.
I have been watching the B3030 FEL thread. But my FEL manual does not have any information on the problem. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
