Splitting the Kubota part 1 (Output shaft seal replacement)

- My four wheel drive output shaft seal is leaking internally, allowing hydraulic fluid to leak into my clutch case. The tractor must be split to make this repair. Stay tuned for part 2!
Denny, you got one heck of a good start on this job represented here in this video. funny story, first use of my 90° pneumatic ratchet nearly broke my hand. shocked me how powerful that little thing is.
Thanks Soybean Farmer! Yes, they have a good amount of torque. I've had my hand crushed by them before.. Makes you think a little more about what you're going before hitting that button! Lol
Lot of work, but a great learning experience! I'm dreading splitting the 3000, but it'll have to be done sometime.
Yep it was a good experience. Just like anything else, it's just a bunch of nuts and bolts. Anyone can do it with enough motivation!
Yep, that's one big project to split the tractor, no matter what size it is. Might I suggest making a dolly type step up to put under the front half to help with the split. When I've helped do something like this before, we cribbed up the back half to support it & had a wheeled dolly that mounted to the front half. That really helped making the splitting process a little easier. Don't forget to put wheel chocks in front & behind the rear wheels. It was still a lot of work tho. LOL Stay safe.
Yep, I plan on doing basically exactly what you said. Crib up the back, and build a dolly of some sort for the front. I haven't worked on that yet, but will hopefully get to it today. Chocking the wheels is also very important, thanks for the reminder! I appreciate you watching man. have a good one!
I pull the seat of leave the front end loader on for stability reach in from the back with a big cherry picker and a high reach floor jack to support the front half have my wife help roll the back half back grange clutch and front tyranny seal through out bearing pilot bearing pressure plate do a all in fix. Took 6 hours and dove out the door.
I currently have my Kubota L4330 at the dealer. They are about to split it to replace the driveshaft seals. It is a Hydro. Do you guys have a list of other recommended repairs with it already split in half?
Nice tear down. Make sure you weage the front axle so the front can’t lean side to side. When you split it in half. Nice vid.👍🏻
Thanks Gerrald! That's an important one that's easy to forget. Thanks for watching!
looks like a lot of work. ive split a few tractors. never had to take that much off though.my 4010 takes me about 10 hours to split and get back together. good luck.great video Denny.
Ten hours is pretty quick for what it is. I'd love to have a 4010 or 4020. Very cool old machines!
yes the 4020 is a better tractor.they are easier to split then yours by far.
Have you had to change out the front axle seal on your l5030?
I am picking up a B7800 that has a cracked case to the side of the pto, do you know if these are aluminum housings?
cool video. not that most people like tearing into their tractor that much but would be a fun job. the broken off and loose bolts for the loader are a scary find though.... better now then when trying to load bales with the new bale grab or some other time if it failed while working
Yeah, no joke! In the end I think I'll be very glad I went through this thing. I probably should have done this earlier. Thanks for watching Josh! Take care
interested in the manual, Thanks for the offer.
Can you share with me where you found the pdf service manual? I'm about to do a clutch job on a L3560
Unfortunately the link is no longer good. Sorry! Best of luck on the project. It isn't that bad!
Those loader frame to tractor bolts are a common problem for Kubotas the come lose over time and should be checked frequently as a part of regular inspections
Are you going to put the hybrid kubota tires on when you replace them?
Nope. The R4's were pretty good. I sold this tractor a long time ago.
I need help getting a engine out of a L2501 kubota with a 1703 engine does that haft to b split in half. Or does it have a frame
If you need to remove the engine, then it will be a split. You could also try to rebuild it in place and avoid splitting it. Lots of people do that.
What was your tractor doing that told you that the seal was the problem. My L4200 started leaking hydraulic fluid yesterday and a little bit of reading on the forums has be worried I might have the same problem as you did.
There was hydraulic oil leaking from the weep hole on the bottom of the clutch case. These have dry clutches, so there should be no hydraulic oil leaking from there at all. I hope this isn't the case for you, and it's an easy fix! Private message me your email address, and I'll get you the link for the PDF of the shop manual. Thanks for watching Tyler
Sent you PM little bit ago. I think my problem might be different. Not sure if it’s any better tho. I have sign of oil running down along side the starter and it’s all flowing down to the weap hole and the shaft cover.

If anyone else has any ideas I would appreciate it
I sent you an email, but I'm going to repeat what I said in it for anyone else reading this.
That's leaking really bad! I'm pretty sure it's the same problem I had, just much worse. It looks like it's leaking at a rate that the weep hole can't keep up with, so it's leaking down your driveshaft. Mine started to do that right before I tore it apart.
I think my Kubota L3600 has the same problem. the hydraulic fluid drains out of that drain plug thing on the bottom of the clutch case (that plug thing with the pin plunger in it is where it all drains out) almost as fast as I pour it in. Is it necessary to remove the front loader though?
Unfortunately it is. You have to remove the subframe in order to split the tractor. Sorry to hear you have the same issue. It's really not that bad of a job, it's just time consuming with lots of steps. I wish you the best of luck!
Thanks. Any tips on removing that front loader without the use of the hydraulics would be greatly appreciated
@@chrislayton2025 Hey Chris, sorry I accidentally deleted your comment about the doubling up of seals. My dealer told me to do that, and I would imagine its the same, assuming its the same/similar assembly. I would recommend it, but I'd hate to steer you wrong. Is consult your local dealer if you're questioning it.
Can you send me the manual you used for splitting your tractor??
unfortunately it became unavailable shortly after the video. I can't find the free one anymore. Sorry
I can too !!!👍👍👍
Having fun lol. That’s why I like my really old tractors! Lol. Stay safe ya split everything!
Lol, yep! I would much rather split a WD. Have a good one man!
Michigan Farming - yep, once I get through the rust and break a few bolts off the rest is pretty easy. LOL
Soybean Farmer oh my tractors don’t have rust! There clean and perdy! Lol
Hey! Just curious, what was the total time you took to split it and put it back together?
I can't remember exactly. I think I mentioned it in my last video on this. Probably roughly 16 hours? Maybe 14? It's been a while.
Nice Shade top - what brand is that?
Not sure. It came with the tractor. If I still had it, I would check for you. Thanks for watching!
Please send me the link to the Kubota Shop Manual...TY! Len
Sorry.. they took the link down. I think Kubota got wind of it and shut the sight down. Best of luck!
So would you do it again? Or pay the shop for the minimum $1,000 shop time?
Also I've sent you a message to see if that download link still works
Unfortunately that download doesn't work anymore. I would totally do it again. I think the shop quoted me $4-6k to do this job.
Local dealership wants a minimum of $2800 labor to replace motor in my L3940
Can you please send me the link for the shop manual
That link became unusable several years back. I don't know why. Sorry I can't help!
I have an l3600 gst that’s stuck in 4th gear. Been a great tractor otherwise.
That’s a lot of work so far to replace a seal! Lol.
No kidding! Lol
I wish America didn't owe me so much money because that would mean they already paid me the money they did on me
What you guys did to me was the stupidest movie ever made you should have had the brains to know that I was better than that
