Kubotas B's Creeping in Neutral

[CalG]

My old B7200 creeps.
Sometimes forward, sometimes in reverse. Depends on what I have done with the foot treadle.
Often this comes in handy (for me) holding on hills, slowly creeping toward the desired position when mounting implements etc.
It really is not a bother as long as it doesn't get worse. I do clean the V notch from time to time.
If the foot brake is set, the tractor does not move at all.

And if I really need to, the two speed transmission is put out of gear, and the wheels are chocked.

But.

If that bearing needs to be replaced, there is a lot of good information in this thread. Thanks!

Now I've got to drive the kubota over to the neighbors and "borrow back" the box blade. I need to level out a couple of places out back if there isn't too much stone.

Well I spent the afternoon grinding and removing the bearing or what left of it. The hardest part was getting the race off.

Guess I'm fortunate that my F20 series front mount hydrostatic drive mower, the 'bearing' is actually a greasable bushing with the grease fitting sticking out the end. Easy to grease and won't wear out, I hope. If it starts to creep, I just grease it and all is good again.
