Thanks same problem here cap never came off just intermittent. Ordered two that was very helpful info thanks again!

I think you are correct. I ran it about an hour yesterday..still has a noise but its not doing it in intervals like it was before they worked on it. It just sounds louder than it should IMO when the clutch is not pressed in.Time will tell on this.

That makes sense GeoHorn. I am not sure because i really don't know hope they wouldn't just flat out lie about it..maybe this is why there not hanging me with the full bill.

They did replace the clutch plate or at least they say they did and replaced the clutch bearings while they had the tractor tore down. They said the clutch bearing were not bad but since the tractor was split it would be a good idea.

I don't know about how they billed it all I am waiting on the detailed bill. I know the total included pickup and delivery because I don't have a large enough truck to haul it. I will update when i get it.

I have a 3901 HST...they (Kubota) recommend when parking your tractor for an extended period of time to press down the clutch and there is a pin that you slide over and it locks the clutch pedal in the pressed down position. This is supposed to separate the clutch disc from the flywheel. They...

Thanks for your advice. I really do appreciate all the replies. I think the knowledge from all the replies actually armed me with info that helped the situation. Much appreciation to all!

UPDATE// Dealer called this morning they are going to take care of $1000 of the $1500 bill. I am pleased they will do this. He said the dealer will help with 500 and kubota will help with another 500.

All I can do is go with what they are telling me. I got the tractor back yesterday and its not making the noise like it was but its still has a certain noise that I'm not used to. The dealer just delivered the tractor and he says he is meeting with local rep for kubota and hasn't charged me yet...

Just got the call the warranty declined by Kubota. Can't say I am not disappointed here! I really thought buying a Kubota tractor would provide longevity and durability without issues so soon. Thought Kubota would stand behind this.

Wolfman/ Thanks for you insight. What I have read to doesn't make sense either but what can I do. I am at there mercy. I did voice my concern this morning when I emailed one of the owners of the shop. I said what you just said to him in my email. He never really addressed that seemed confident...

D2Cat/ I definitely think writing it out in a email/letter or whatever is the way to go. I just reached out to one of the owners via email(this gave me time to say what i wanted without emotion). He responded very quickly. He says he is trying to push this through to Kubota to see if they will...

Thanks Whitetiger/ this was an update earlier in this feed. (Thanks for the advice. I did call the tech at the shop and talked to him to make sure I completely understood. He explained to me the the clutch disk was sticking to flywheel) and this was the cause of the noise. Not sure this would...

Godaddy thanks for the suggestion. My tractor was indoor kept and never abused like it to much for that. Update still haven't heard back from the dealer on my warranty like they said they were going to do.

Wow! that's great way of handling that. I never even thought of that direction your solution was a very good one thanks for sharing.
