Hello All

Can anyone help me locate all four of the transmission drain plugs on my B2100. I have attached the image of the plug locations from the WSM (Service Manual)... and I think I can locate 2 of the four.
In the top image, I find the one in the front nearest the mid belly PTO shaft. I can also find the one on the far right hand side of the image attached. I cannot locate the one that appears to be the furthest back on the tractor, nor the one in the bottom image (labeled B177FG05).

I also cannot locate the transmission metal screen that needs to be pulled and cleaned.

This is an old tractor, has about 700 hours, and I have the correct Kubota Super fluid, and transmission filter.

Thanks in advance for any help here (I did search, and did not find my model listed0

Hello

Well, after sitting for a few more minutes, I located the drain plug that is further forward near the drive shaft to power the front wheels on the 4wd tractor. The plug in the farthest rear is facing out, and the image in the WSM doesnt really do it justice. I also located the much large plug that holds the screen that needs to be removed and cleaned. From other postings on changing tranny fluid, they talk about 2 o-rings that should also be changed, associated with the large plug/screen thing so of course my local dealer is sold out, and won't have any until Wednesday....but I guess just pondering the images and rolling around on the ground allowed me to figure it out.

In Summary the 4 plugs are 3 in the rear two facing away from the tractor, very near the rear axle. Third plug is very near the mid PTO shaft and obvious once located, and the fourth plug is towards the front very near the front drive shaft which is shown in the bottom image attached. The metal screen is on the passenger side of the tractor, just above and in front of the Right rear lower drain plug, and yes, you should purchase the two o-rings to replace them when that is removed and cleaned. Finally the normal and quite obvious trans oil filter.

Sorry for the post, but perhaps my learning will allow someone else to locate all the plugs that need to be removed on this old tractor.
