Not sure what pictures you’re wanting. I’m still removing the transaxle.

Evening update: Do not attempt to remove the cover plate in a vertical position such as in the tractor! Found everything! Started with a clean floor, swept and concrete is painted white, also had rollout cardboard under the tractor otherwise would have been an oof moment… parts fall everywhere...

Haha, was my first thought! but… in a neutral location (between high and low) it is actually doable when a small sweet spot is found. But in the video I fully throw the lever up and down still twisting the shaft, The tech said “not possible something is broke.

Here is the section where he thinks it’s sheared either above or below

This view is of the front cover removed he suspect the shaft is sheared near that piston pump. Looks like that drum with springs and pistons would likely be awful with it vertical in the the tractor to reassemble?

The input shaft from the HST that the fan coupling attaches to and the engine driveshaft.

Also reached out to Kubota as the tractor only has 250.3 hours on it.

The manual has the whole transaxle out and turn up making the cover horizontal. Anyone ever tried to remove the cover vertical still in the tractor? Just to maybe get a better look.

So… after a long winded discussion with the senior tech at Siler Implement. He is convinced the input pump shaft is sheared at or very near the cylinder block assembly. The clicking noise is most likely the spines riding over each other at the break. The shaft should be somewhat difficult to...

Morning update: all attachments are off, BH circuit quick connection bypass hose firmly in place, pulled lower suction screen, it’s clean and clear, dumped all hydraulic fluid thru a 300 oil mesh with three magnetic rings below mesh strainer, no metal in mesh caught above and no debris. The...

No complete hydraulic loss, I haven’t previously split one of the used filters open, but while changing them, since new, there has always some fine black material, looks like clutch material, pouring the fluid from the old split filter thru a paint funnel strainer generated enough to smear...

I have a video can’t seem to post it, I’m kinda a big guy, but none the less it turns rather easily in both directions and makes a low pitched click, similar to spring loaded gears riding on their edges barely engaging, moved hydro levers around and nothing changes.

Complete power failure, reseated all quick connections on this mornings list, thank you.

No

Did not know it existed! I will open that goose tomorrow. Thank you!
