    2006 M6040 PTO Gasket keeps backing out

    Now let me school you a little bit on physics. It does matter the level of the hydraulic fluid in a contained space. Air, compresses; liquids do not. If the contained space of the casing or where the hydraulic fluid is, is completely filled with hydraulic fluid, then there would be zero room for...

    2006 M6040 PTO Gasket keeps backing out

    I went back and edited and changed the word gasket to seal, but for some reason, obviously, it did not take. Just thinking…. If Pressure is building up enough to push out the PTO seal, while my tractor is running and has been running enough to increase pressure, shouldn’t I feel some type of...

    2006 M6040 PTO Gasket keeps backing out

    The gasket that seals off my tractor's hydraulic/transmission fluid where my PTO is located (gasket is round metal & plastic) and goes over the PTO and has to be delicately tapped into place tightly) keeps coming out!!! The gasket seats properly and keeps the fluid from coming out, but with use...

    Hood needed for M6040 (M7040 will work)

    You are so kind!!! Thank you. I'm just wondering if buying the lights, grill and I'm assuming, the screens is going to be more expensive than just holding out for a total hood with everything attached. I see you're just south of WR, Ga. Hmmmmm. Can we talk? I'm in B'ham, AL and I go to...

    M6040 telescopic sway bar has broken.

    My tractor doesn't ride across pastures and for 15 yrs, it's taken a lot of hard work. I am very satisfied with my Kubota. As I said, I lost one sway bar (it just came off) while working in extreme conditions w/my 6' Hvy Duty Woods Rotary Cutter. So after 15 years of very hard work, when the...

    M6040 telescopic sway bar has broken.

    After 15 years of pretty nasty rotary cutting (I don't have the pleasure of rotary cutting pastures) with a Hvy Duty Woods Rotary Cutter (I'm within the HP limits to the implement) and a 8' disk, understandably, their lifetime was up. I really didn't want to get into it (it take words to...

    M6040 telescopic sway bar has broken.

    I searched for this subject on prior thread but didn't see an answer. Kubota parts expensive. Other than a turnbuckle, any suggestions? Part # S66461 sold by Hodge Farm Equipment is a possibility, but HFE person doesn't know if this part will work on a M6040. Any advice given would be...

    M6040 - Stump beats fuel tank

    Sigh! I just got my 2006 M6040 back from the shop with new FEL cables/hydraulics, joystick, front-end rebuild, etc... And today, dang if I didn't hit a stump while mowing in some planted pines and practically ripped my fuel tank off as I damaged the housing/brackets and put a tear (where a...
