First transmission broke while using the back hoe in a wash. THe tractor slid down the hill and a large rock poked a hole in the bottom of the case. Rare, but since then I have had an oil leak around the rear PTO cover plate. Today that hole became a mess.
The rear plate is broken in 4 pieces. Since it is only 7 bolts I pulled the cover. Worse yet inside the inner bearing support is destroyed. So I will again need a new case. Parts alone are over $3000 so I will throw a Hail Mary at the warranty 4 months before it expires.
Are there rebuilt cases out there anywhere? Mine is a 2016 BX25D LBH. I am seriously thinking of selling this as It breaks so much easier than my older Kubotas did. I am not sure what even caused this failure. I am thinking the crack was the leak and mowing the field, 10 acres over 3 days was too much for the cracks. The PTO shaft became unstable and finished off the cover, breaking the rear bearing mount too.
I am in SW Missouri. Not many good mechanics at the local shops. I found the frame was not aligned or torqued after the last repair. I also found 3 missing bolts and dozens of bolts that were loose. It was like the mechanic said, "I am done with this one" regardless of checking.
