I'm troubleshooting subject fluid leak(s) and am hoping someone can help me answer some questions with goal of fixing the leaks. The price of UDT is motivating along with problem itself being inconvenient (understated).
Although I believe it may have two leaks, I'd first like to focus on the most severe case. Referring to the far right bolt in the attached '0645' picture, there is what I believe to be a valve contained (actually dangling loose) from the center of bolt. I have wiped/cleaned the area around this bolt and think the leak sources from it. Can anyone explain the purpose of this bolt/valve?
I have machine repair experience, but not much as it applies to diesel tractors. I realize a call to Kubota store to order this specific bolt and probably a crush washer is a likely first step, but am really wanting to know what its purpose (besides containing the fluid) is first.
Any insight on this is appreciated. Also, close to certain leak is from bolt, but not wanting to mislead. I'm hopeful as it seems like relatively easy fix. I'm open to any suggestions at to other places to investigate while under there.
Thank you.
