The corrosion between the arm and shaft was extensive and the tolerances so close, that it took me two hours to remove. There is a second video to follow. • Kubota BX 25 : Differe...
Hi Bob. Your explanation is too brief for me to understand. However, I realized my differential lock was not releasing properly with the pedal, and without touching the diff-lock pedal, suddenly my two rear tires would lock in sync. With the rear of the tractor elevated, I could get the pins to release, but later they interfered again. All Four pins had broken from the collar and were free floating. I have heard from other people that the pins somehow got loose in the case and metal got wedged between the crown and pinion gears, snapping the aluminum case. If the diff-lock will not disengage when both tires are elevated off the ground, and you jimmy the wheels back and forth but they won't rotate, then you have an issue. What is normal, If the diff lock pedal is in the disengaged position, and one tire will spin in one direction and the other tire will spin in the opposite rotation. Clear as mud ?
ya472 thank you I have just power washed all the mud and plan to take a look tomorrow, we just started to build a house and it is very muddy clay so thick it was solid between the wheels and frame But what you are describing seems so far not my issue I have not lifted it yet if I put my front bucket up against a tree and push my front tires will keep turning but the rear just kinda wiggle like they are half in gear I will lift it and spin the rear and see Thanks for your kind help Bob
You are engaging the differential lock ? If you are not engaging the differential lock, and you push against an object "like a tree?", then usually only one front tire and one rear tire should rotate, or depending on resistance and traction, they can alternate or both sides spin. With the diff-lock engaged, both rear tires and usually only one front tire will rotate, if something doesn't break. That is what the differential does, it allows tires on the same axle to rotate independently. Again, I am having difficulty picturing what is actually happening for you.
Thanks
What made you determine it was this problem my tractor rear wheels will not move if I push hard they just kinda chatter
