I called today and they have it at central Kubota wharehouse. Really available in 5-7 days 🙂

I can speak alright. Tried to call them but have missed their working hours. And I am kinda in a hurry to order because the clock at mechanic shop is ticking. They do not ship Kubota parts outside of USA, but thankfully there are parcel forwarding services which I can use.

I think I have found it on Messicks. It says it usually ships in 3-7 business days . I wonder if this needs to be checked beforehand? Just to make sure I won`t wait for months.

Hi guys, I’ve run into a new issue. The mechanic can’t order part no. #140 (dogs) from the image above — it’s currently unavailable anywhere in the EU until July. The tractor is already disassembled, and it can’t remain in the workshop for that long. Do you have any ideas on where or how this...

Thanks for the details. Very much apritiated. How likely is no. #110 damaged as well?

Thanks Dan. I guess you are saying it would be enough to open just one side of the tractor?

Thanks for your thoughts. My understanding by what the mechanic’s told me is that partial engagement under load can create very high localized contact temperatures, even if bulk heating is limited, and that once material has chipped, the remaining edges become more prone to catching or further...

That was my initial thought as well. The mechanic’s view is that it likely got stuck due to some chipping and partial engagement, but he can’t be 100% sure until it’s opened further. For now, only the top cover has been removed. Visually, none of the dogs appear fully broken. The question I...

Hi all, here is the update. Tractor has been opened at the repair shop. After opening the rear axle, the issue was found in the differential lock dog clutch. One or two “fingers” (dogs) are partially chipped, and two of them show darker discoloration compared to the others - look at the image...

Thanks. Understood. I wish only this would be the case. I guess I will know once opened. I called Kubota repair shop. They said this is a common case and that usually just one of the 8 engagement pins breaks, but it gets stuck and it keeps the differential locked, while remaining 7 pins can...

Thanks, no I have not heard any popping sound. I have a wooden garage where I could do it. It has dry wooden floor above from the ground and solid roof. However now it is wintertime so there is a LOT of condensate on the tractor. During the night metal gets cold and during the day it warms up a...

I think it is not only stuck because foot lever would be stuck as well at down position. Since everything is sealed I am thinking of a way of making minimal damage to the seals. So if opening sides is needed for the repair work anyway - is opening of the top required for repairment also ( I...

Left even the foot lever is on the right side? And do I need to remove the top just for the diagnosis or for repair as well? Any special tools required? Thanks in advance.

How complicated is this repair if it proves that dogs are broken? I will get a quote from the Kubota repair shop tomorrow, but I am scared of the bill, so I am already thinking of trying to fix it myself. Can it be done? So far my best mechanic achievement was repairing a bicycle 🥲. Otherwise I...

Thanks for your thoughts. I wrote above some of my new findings.
