M9960D 4speed transmission rebuild labor time ?

[docstoy]

In last thread inspected hydraulic filters and found metal chunks attached to magnets on filters. Today I stopped by local kubota dealer and asked service writer what would labor time be to overhaul or repair transmission. She said she would get me an estimate and call . Isn't there a labor time guide for tractors ? I worked automotive for over 40 years and always based labor times with Chilton labor guide . Reason for asking just trying to get prepared because their labor rate is $150 per hour.

Tractor Data doesn't list the M9960D. Closest they show is M9960HD. That would be 4WD open station tractor with 8 speed transmission. Could that be what you have?

Having been out of the "dealership" loop for some time now (last place I was employed the shop rate was like $65/hr.) so that goes back a ways. I don't know how bad things might be today, but for all my years in the game there were flat rate manuals for most all repairs. Not that anyone paid much attention to them.
