Hand slap! 
I gave you good advice on how to deal with it, and pressing it out was not on the list.
Send a PM to 007Kubotaguy (Lance) and see if he can hook you up with a new case.

Also ask him if he does not have a b6100D diff gear case if he has a New model B7100HST rear diff case, if he does we'll do a swap, as I have a perfect B6100D case sitting here that I was going to use on a B7100HST, The cases are just a tiny bit different, mine would be a direct bolt in for what you need, where for me I'll have to do a little machine work to get it to work properly.

I soaked it with PB blaster. Just wanted to put a little pressure on it to see if it would move. I will ask him about the B7100HST. He does have the B6100.

That could be a good deal for both you guys!
DD - - that's the kind of thing I would do....been following your project and Fish's too... good stuff but for your setback. You'll make it right, I'm sure. Best wishes going forward.

Wow, I'm impressed with your work so far.
I'm even more impressed with your energy, time and commitment to such a detailed restoration!

The other one was seized in the housing. I was able to get it apart with a little heat yesterday.

Haven’t gotten that far yet. Once everything is prepped I will talk to a couple of my local powder coaters to see what they recommend. Need to make sure I can get matching paint. What is a durable paint I should use for the aluminum casings and the engine?

I originally wanted to powder coat everything that I could. I couldnt find a powder manufacture that had the Kubota blue. They could do a custom color match but with the cost and minimums i would have to buy it was extremely expensive. also they couldnt guarantee an exact match. So trying to get a match of the blue in the powder and then a match for paint to the powder just wasnt happening. I just decided to go with paint.
Nice work. Make sure to check your pilot bearing in the end of the crank! I just had to do an epoxy repair on my b6100 pilot bearing( bushing)!
Finished stripping and cleaning the trans tunnel. I think there’s one more seal retainer in there but it’s pretty much ready for blast and powder coating.

So I could swap in a D950 to my B-6100? Does it need a larger radiator?

Nope, same radiator, in fact you have to neck down the inlet and outlets to make it work with the smaller hoses on the D950.
Not really. Waiting to get my stripped parts back. Also waiting to hear about a replacement diff case.
