Can someone here help me in the procedure for a split of a cab L5030 tractor? It is 4x4 and I THINK it would be the seal on the propeller shaft leaking. I know I have to remove the custom skid plate on it, and split it at the clutch housing, but I've never split a cab tractor - not even a Kubota. Didn't know what I'm up against and what tools will be needed. I've attached a link to a Youtube video on it.

Welcome aboard! I started watching the video, but got too seasick to watch the whole thing :)

I'd suggest a workshop manual. I split a small open station Ford, but not sure I'd do well on a cabbed tractor.

Sorry about that. I try to make good videos but I guess sometimes I get in a hurry. It goes into time lapse mode about halfway through so you almost made it! Haha. Where would I obtain the WSM for this tractor? Free download? Have to Purchase online?

Go to you-tube and search "splitting the kubota". Buddy does a open station L5030. I think you will need to remove the cab.

Thank you. The WSM says to remove the cab but not sure if it’s needed. Will look and figure out as I go I guess. The manual also says to remove all a/c components and sit out of the way. I’m not sure why that is required either but it might be obvious once I start working. I’m not worried about loosing Freon because it currently doesn’t have any/much in it.
