First off I am very familiar with Kubotas, Hydrostatic transmissions, and their "normal" noises. Unfortunately this is not one of them.
My L5740 has a rattle, bad bad rattle, like ball bearings being shook in an empty 1 gallon paint paint can.
When starting, push the clutch in, start the engine, engine fires up and purs. All through RPM range everything sounds great.
As soon as you let off the clutch pedal, does not matter if you do it slowly or fast, the rattle starts. Again this is a rattle that is loud enough in the cab that it almost hurts your ears. Now the rattle does change pace following the RPM. Low RPM, slower rattle, more RPM faster rattle.
Also put tractor in high drive up an fair incline and tractor would slow to a stop, RPM slight bog then jump right back up, hence my thought of clutch slipping.
This tractor was taken in to a local shop who originally diagnosed it with a clutch problem, (pressure plate, "fingers" throw out, just something in that area) it was torn apart by them, and I am told all components replaced in the clutch area.
They replaced all components without contacting me and quote from them, "even though the parts all looked good." They put it back together, again without contacting me, and it is still doing the same excact thing.
My question here is just for advice on the repairing of this tractor. Taking into consideration when the noise does and does not occur and what parts have been replaced/at least looked at, what is my next step in problem solving or part to test.
I will deal with the shop antics.
I will try to upload and tag a video with the audio, but it did not replay very good on cell phones.
