We've got a Kubota M6800 with a dry clutch which we had to replace last winter. It has been working fine until about a couple of weeks ago. Now when "shuttling" between F/R, there's a grinding noise when trying to go into R. The clutch is adjusted within specs. Not sure if there's a sync problem or if maybe the throwout bearing isn't fully disengaging. Figured we'll have to split it either way. Any suggestions appreciated!

I once owned a M4900 that acted similar to what you describe. Then one day it locked in reverse. Long.story short story I had to split tractor & R&R reverser assembly. My tractor had been used quite a bit handling 18 wheeler loads of rd bales.

Thanks for the reply!

The reverser assembly you're referring to, is it the shuttle gear case that's depicted in this blowout:

If so, it looks like it's accessible by just splitting the clutch housing from the engine. I was hoping that's all I would have to do. But kinda figured I would have to split the transmission also.

You're correct. My tractor was split between engine & clutch housing to R&R synchronizer assembly.

Thanks again!

Did you have replace the whole assembly or are you able to repair parts that are inside of the assembly?

I replaced the syncro pack not the complete unit.

It's been several yrs since I repaired the shuttle but I think I had to replace the syncro assembly(key 110)
