If you have to ever have to split your tractor to get to or near the hydrostatic drive. Change the neutral holding bearing, other wise you have to do some grinding to get off. The bearing is real small about the size of a nickel and check around on price, it's all over the place. Kubota part #32721-43420 and it is a 12mm,21mm, by 5mm.
The pictures well show how I did it by just removing the floor panel. That L shaped groove I don't know why Kubota cut it to go up, I could not understand why they did it, maybe a round hole over the bearing would of been better. The screwdriver is taking the load off the spring so that you can get the bearing close to the slot. And it was no fun getting it to hold.
NOTE; This is for most B's not all, check the parts list for your B model.
