Hi All - This is my first post, so be kind. My '09 BX2360 has locked up and badly. Driving on my street at full speed, high gear in 2WD I heard a soft thump under the seat, followed by a second thump under my seat. Never heard that before. About 10 minutes later, now in 4wd in my yard I heard a third thump and whoa, the tractor strains to move but does not move anywhere. Jacked it up and the right rear wheel is locked hard. I did get it to move another foot or so by shifting in and out of 4wd and moving the HST in reverse and forward. I then drug it up on a trailer and took her in.
A local Diesel/Tractor repair shop (not Kubota, please don't lecture me right now, I know) has the machine completely open and everything turns fine in the gears, no problems at all. No signs of serious grinding, etc. There are just a few small metal pieces near the filter screen and one ball bearing in the bottom of the housing. Other than breaking down the clutch, which is where we are, there are no obvious teeth damage or missing bearings. Fluid was allowed to get quite dirty, that is the only real thing noted. Mechanic is stumped and we are fearful to put it back together without identifying the culprit. PLEASE, any ideas? Thank you in advance.
