Hello, my first post in here, but I’ll give it a shot.
Im currently working on a M8970, and I have absolutely no data on it what so ever, and therefore I can’t find any spare parts for the transmission.

The main problem is, that the gear selectors has broken of flush with the transmission housing, and there is no good angle to get at it.

Has anyone had or know the problem, and if so, is it worth fixing, and what would the procedure be? Would I have to split the tractor on the middle or is there and easier way?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Since you are in Australia you may have to use your regions Kubota site not the USA site…

but Kubota USA and larger online dealers (Messicks) have illustrated parts lists like shown below.
Hopefully that helps. Kubota also sells Workshop Manuals that will provide some guidance on repairs.
