I guess you're talking about where the shaft attaches to the transmission?
My trouble was at the front-end.
If you'll remove the shaft cover, it's easy to see what's goin on. Assuming yours has a cover like mine?

Actually mine is different than yours, doesn't have the same type cover, it has a sealed tube that connects the front diff to the trans housing.
Cool, I will check with them and see if they have the bulletin. Any chance you have that in pdf format you could email me?

ive got an 08'9540 with 2456hrs hope to get at least 4 times that out of it.if it keeps running like it is should do it without any problems.
I've had 4 new RTV900s at my job for about 3 - 4 months and have ~1200 hours on them. So in less than 3 years I'll have around 12000. I think the RTV came out in 2004, so that's plenty of time to accumulate 12K hours.
Other RTV users near me include several airports, universities, city governments and Tropicana (the orange juice people).
So far, I've had a bad temp gauge on one unit, no other problems.
later

I can't say on Kubotas but on Cat equipment the digital meters only count when the engine is running. I was told they operate of the oil pressure.
