Bet you are glad to have your old Kubota going again! I've been busy, I hired a helper and we both have been on the same job doing a lot of rotary cutting! SR
Yeah you was getting over due for your check-in schedule, nice knowing your ok.... Now at over 1500 hr this Kubota shifts better then it ever did, it goes into gear almost immediately from neutral with it fully warmed up, it always use to be 6-7 second count, 25-30 seconds when new, when I complained Kubota said to add 2 more gal of trans fluid and that brought time down to 6-7 count from neutral, and the clutch free play was 1/2", now the clutch petal free play is at spec at 3/4"-1".... So that tells me this 2-stage clutch was never adjusted right when new and most likely the reason why that spring diaphragm plate cracked, this sticking in 1st gear has been going on since around 600 hrs. Only thing I dont understand is why did tractor only stick in 1st gear, I had to keep popping the clutch to get clutch to release, it never stuck in any other gear, high range it was even harder to get clutch to release. In my mind if clutch stick in one gear it should stick in all gears, the only hard glue I had was, I could feel the tractor trying to move when clutch was pushed in, but only in 1st, very strange......
