LOL. I just talked with dealer parts and they are ordering one for me. The list price is $800+ but of course I will pay nothing.
I don’t get it. The cab version is like $60, which would be reasonable, although high, if it had to be purchased. $800+ is just crazy thinking.

Good morning.
Replacement bracket has been installed.
The person that came to do the work was not aware of the cost of the bracket. It was also first bracket he had installed.
I did not bite the bracket to see if it was made of gold…but it seemed like a very simple blanked/stamped part made off a couple form blocks.

Mine has been ordered by my dealer and they will ship to me when it comes in because they are out of state. Hopefully it’s a simple installation because I’ll have to do it myself.
If you have a socket set, you should be fine. It took the person not more than 5 - 10 minutes and I think most of that was reading directions. I think the biggest challenge would be there is not much room to work with the loader on. But again it did not take the person very long .
Well this was a pain. That bolt under fuel tank was TIGHT! Loader upright is right in the way of everything. Got the fuel bowl bolt from the side/front and the fuel tank bolt through the loader hoses from operator station. Blue locktited and got pretty tight. Took maybe 20 minutes. Went ahead and checked oil and knocked out the air filter.

Value is in the eye of the beholder. For me, I spent a good chunk of income for my MX, of which warrantee was factored in, so I am happy it was covered. I hope you get your parts and that takes care of that pesky warning light too.
To me the question is would I pay the $800 post warranty? Honestly I don’t care to even have the warning light really when the sight glass is so easy to see. I’d prefer simple visual inspections vs sensors personally. I really wouldn’t want the warning light sticking on either though. I guess so long as intermittent I would struggle to find $800 for that bracket…call me cheap
I do like knowing that K stand behinds their product and took care of it. That means a lot to me as a customer. In theory that (warranty work) was included in the original price but that will pay itself forward since they did the right thing.

I guess between fall harvest and field work I missed both of these threads about the separator light coming on the MX series of tractors. Never had mine come on the MX6000 I have. Did any one get a recall in the mail or was the TSB found because you were having a problem. I will call my selling dealer and see if mine falls under the TSB. If that bracket is $800 dollars Kubota just a well buy me one to.
Good day. I just realized I did not get a pic on the unit, but here is a pic of the ‘super’ bracket in the tech’s hand. (Looks same as what @MOOTS shared. They also swapped out the fasteners)
It was everything I dreamt of and more. Christmas truly came early with that one.

I never received any notice. Called dealer with the TSB number @whitetiger posted and got the ball rolling.

No notice was sent to registered owners.
This TSB is a fix-as-failed issue.
Anytime you have a concern or question, you should talk to the Service Manager (definitely NOT your salesperson). Their job is to notify you of any relevant bulletin.
Registered owners would be notified if this was a safety concern or an MSB.

The bracket is a lot cheaper for the cabbed tractors. I paid less than $60 out of pocket and installed the new bracket in around 20 minutes. I posted photos of the "upgrade" so that other members can see the difference between the kits. I never had a water in fuel light illuminate when I had the MX6000HST and haven't with the MX6000HSTC either, but figured it was worth the cost and effort to get the TSB done.
