I'm wondering if you could lift the top off enough to see what is happening with a pair of bicycle hoists after breaking the seal by hand?

Well....good idea. But no time to do it...heck have not even called dealer. Kind of on overload for the next week or so.

It really shouldn't be stuck as new as a tractor as that is. It isn't that big of a deal to lift off the top, you really should do it and clean under there occasionally. You shouldn't have to buy a new seal either it should seal back down.

I replaced mine because it had some cracks in it. Not that much, around a c note

The seal only has adhesive on the bottom where it adheres to the ROPS structure.

Stick a thermometer in the air stream as close to the fan coil as possible. If it is 55 to 60 degrees it's doing all it can. Remember that heat goes to cold so mother nature trying to heat that air up as fast as possible. You probably have more heat coming in than your rig can handle.

Idont agree. Just to test, i placed my temp probe outdoors, in the middle of the cab, and i side air duct. First is outside temp.

next is mid cabin temp. Tractor is in sun and its hot today. Airs been running for about an hour, but continually opening and closing door to enter and exit to move firewood

now placing temp probe inside ducts

now, i dont know how kubota ac units relate to kioti, but mines a 2010 unit, never been recharged, 1400 hours.

Use fiberglass mat and liquid instead. HF sells a nice Riv-Nut setter (Doyle) with an assortment of them included and you can use it to tighten the existing ones if they spin. Kubota should have used metal backers (washers) under them but didn't except on the 2 on the front.

Next time you have your roof off will you take a pic for us?

Think I have at least one... Note the condition of the gasket and why I replaced it.... Also note how I used fiberglass to really secure the Riv Nuts and eliminate the cracking.

You can also see the 2 front Riv Nuts have aluminum backers whereas the rest don't.
