Thanks Dick I am on my way to garage as soon as I have a bite. I am pretty sure what I will find because of where the drip is. I still have high hopes, however that I can put a wrench on something, give it a hard twist and put it all back together. Oh, another thing missing is the linkage for the manual shuttle shift. The ball on the lever/handle end is gone and now I have misplaced the turn-buckle type adjusting rod. Also, I see what appears to be spring mounting points, so I guess I will also need that. I have not looked at the parts exploded view yet to see if it is all covered. That sure was a great link you sent for Kubotausa parts diagram.You can pull the instrument cluster and run it with it disconnected to find the leak.
No problem. What do you prefer? This seems to be my week for rubbing people, very good friend type people a little raw and I don't even know what I did wrong. Some days are like that; maybe it's my asperger's kicking in. Well, anyway, that said.Please don't ever call me that again!

And again sorry for the offense.

If youse guys don't start contributing something then I am going to have to start charging you!You do know that "Shirley" has the power to Ban you!
Hello friendsThanks Shirley! No, just kidding! I know who I'm talking to,,, this time at least. You nailed it! O-rings will prove to be the culprit. I just wish I could know why it is leaking....
I didn't verify if your P/N is correct, but it appears Colemans had them in stock? Messicks did say stock quantity was 0.Q: All shuttle linkage parts for that old tractor are discontinued. The part that is missing is the ball on the shift handle. #32530-41510
Thanks for your quick response and dont get me wrong I appreciate you, I really do. Yes, the local Kubota dealer gave me a price like that before he looked further to find all the parts discontinued. That price sounds like it might be for the entire shift lever, complete linkage assembly, a neat looking knob, all parts gold plated, and a mechanic to install all. I need a tiny ball joint on a 5mm mounting screw and a jamb nut.I didn't verify if your P/N is correct, but it appears Colemans had them in stock? Messicks did say stock quantity was 0.
Coleman's said
"Ball, Link
In stock $182.28"
Your going to need to get over several facts:That price sounds like it might be for the entire shift lever, complete linkage assembly, a neat looking knob, all parts gold plated, and a mechanic to install all. I need a tiny ball joint on a 5mm mounting screw and a jamb nut.
Thanks for the come-back. I was afraid you had written me off because I had pissed you off, and that is the last thing I wanted to do!! All points you made are taken to heart and as a matter of fact, in regards to item #3, I already started a search on a web-page for lawn mower ball joint and tie rod ends which gives descriptions regarding, for example left/right-hand thread applications, sizes etc. Most of them I have given a look at so far are STD/American sizes. It is absolutely AMAZING how much time one can invest researching this stuff. It Shirley is disappointing that a manufacturer as prolific as Kubota writes off tractors as obsolete, long before they are. Thanks again for yours and others input. This too will eventually be resolved!Your going to need to get over several facts:....
It is a disturbing trend that I'm seeing with the lack of parts, but the call for most of the old tractor parts has fallen off so much I don't think its being profitable for Kubota or their dealers.It Shirley is disappointing that a manufacturer as prolific as Kubota writes off tractors as obsolete, long before they are.

PS: how do you hold the joint while removing the banjo bolt?
