Kubota L3301 HST Transmission Fluid Filter Change

[@JonesboroughAerialPhotography]

Thank you. Nothing specifically states that the trans and the hydraulic systems are the same, even though they each have a filter.
I've since learned they are all from the same sump, 6.2 gallons for the HST transmissions.
The fill for the hydraulic system is in the rear by the PTO, red cap. Easier to fill it there.
For the first 50 hour both filter replacement, the dealership said to just capture the fluid that runs out of the filters (into a clean bucket) when removed and reuse it.

Hey Phil, nice work getting it done. The nice thing about these bigger tractors is that the filters are so much easier to get to. I was afraid that mine were going to be painted stuck like that too when I did my 50 hr change, but I got lucky. I did lose a lot of oil trying to get the new one on though. Next time I'm not going to stress about it and just have enough new oil on hand to fill it back up. Thanks for sharing :)

Yes they are very accessible
That one was a bear to get off
Thank goodness I found a TH-cam video to figure it out !

The you tube channel, "It's About Making, Not Buying" painted his dipstick yellow. It is easier to see the fluid against the yellow background.

I know what you mean about lubing up the filter seal Phil. It only takes once of doing that to learn that it is not a good idea to screw the filter on with a dry seal. found that out the second time I changed oil in my first car. A 1974 AMC Gremlin.

Thanks for watching Gary
Yep learned the same way
Gremlin wow
That brings back memories 😃

Thanks buddy.

excellent phil

[@khtractors]

Boy that filter was tight! You should have a separate fill port somewhere towards the rear of the tractor instead of having to try and fill it in the dipstick port. Its good to do that first filter change, probably the most important one. Take care!

Thanks for watching Ben
I will have to check and see if alternate fill port

@@PetersonFarmsofNashvillePFON it may not have but I’m pretty sure there would be another somewhere.

@@khtractors it does have a fill port, right in the PTO hookup area. Nice large black cap.

Question why did you add fluid through the dipstick hole and not the fill plug?

[@PetersonFarmsofNashvillePFON]

Because I was a dipstick 🤣

[@JimKowalski123]

My maintenance sheet asks me to replace the transmission oil filter at 50 hours. It doesn't mention the 2nd (drivers side) filter. Is this an over site from Kubota ?

[@PetersonFarmsofNashvillePFON]

Don’t know I will have to check

[@JimKowalski123]

@@PetersonFarmsofNashvillePFON i did research this. The second filter is the hydraulic oil filter. It doesn't get replaced until 400 hrs.
