B3350SU Owners I Need Help

[rancher1524]

Please look at the picture and let me know if you have 2 bolts installed above the PTO shaft. Mine does not have any bolts installed. You can see from the picture the 2 lower bolts were installed and stripped out. No sign of any bolts installed in the upper holes.

I have the B2650 and mine does not have any bolts installed, upper or lower, Looks just like your picture except mine are not stripped out,

Edit: I misspoke. It does have bolts in the bottom. Sorry

There should be bolts in every hole. I looked at a B2650 at the dealer today and all 4 holes had bolts in them.

My B3350 (not SU) is a 2018, and all 4 bolts are in place.

There are 14 bolts that hold the ROPS on, check and make sure all are there.
There has to be a lot of other bolts missing in order for it to strip out 2 of the bolts!

Depends upon whether it was done by dealer or PO.

Thank you for the picture. If my dealer would have installed the upper 2 bolts, I would not be having the problem with my ROPS mounting.

What is PO. My ROPS was installed by my dealer.

PO = previous owner

On that model of tractor the ROPS was originally installed by the Factory or the dealer, it would not have been a PO install.

I don't think your understanding, the 4 bolts in the back are not only bolts that hold the ROPS in place, in fact they are the lesser of all the bolts, the six bolts on the sides do more work than any and I'll bet your ROPS does not have them installed, or they are completely loose!

Get Kubota Corporate involved, because this is a serious issue, it should have never left the dealership like that!
The only 100% safe way to fix it is to replace the rear Housing, helio coils are not a proper fix for a safety device!
