This is the kind of detail with a problem than can really help another person figure out what might be wrong if they are having a similar issue. Even though I have an L series 4610, I appreciate guys like you who tell their problems and then give the solutions on the fix. Good job, Thanks!

What happened when we tried to pull the shaft out it didn't seem to want to move, and not knowing what was holding it we didn't want to force it too much. So we decided to seperate the bell housing from the HST, but it would only go about 4 inches and stop, my shop manual wasn't very clear and...

Turns out you guys were right, the smooth face was the motor, and the one on the right in my pic with the raised face was the pump. Now that I have fixed the original problem, which were the seals leaking around the propeller shaft, I realize that I created much more work than what was...

The reason for the confusion on my part, is that one of the Kubota shops in the area still had a pump that was pulled from a different model Kubota, and it was smooth like the one shown in your pic. But when I searched the internet I also found some that were listed as motors that were smooth...

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I will keep you guys posted as to how it turns out. By the way the original problem were bad seals on the propeller shaft, to get to the back seal we had to split the tractor.

I am hoping and praying that one of the Kubota mechanics on this forum can help me out. I have been trying to get confirmation from Kubota as to which one is the pump and which one is the motor on a 2001 L4610 HST. I have the diagram that shows where the pump and motor reside within the HST...

Have a blessed day.

My dad has an L4610 that has the same problem. He ordered the "Fix Kit" that was supposed to reseat the seal on the propeller shaft and hold it in place, but it didn't seem to be the right kit or something. When we put it on there was still a bunch of slack in between it and the seal, so there...

Thanks Wolfman, I appreciate the diagrams. I had a misunderstanding of how it worked. I thought I saw a diagram at some point in the past that showed fluid being passed in the shaft to the front end, and made an assumption that the internal seals where the shaft joins together are bad and...

Ouch! I sure hope it doesn't have to be split to replace. I am a little bit confused now because if there is no fluid in shaft why are there seals in center of the shaft? Also I found a diagram online that shows fluid running through the shaft to the front end. I'm not trying to question...

Good evening Vic, this is an awesome resource. I started a thread on this topic: "2001 L4610D HST oil leaking from propeller shaft" and it was recommended that I send you and IM to see if you might be familiar with this? I was told this was a problem and there might have even been a warranty...

Thanks for the replies. CTMike, I think you may have a different model than mine. Mine is a HST and has hydraulic fluid is pumped through the shaft to the front end. It's leaking about mid way through two small holes in the propeller shaft. Here is a pic of where it is leaking from on the...

I sure was hoping someone on here had run into this problem before, and could share some insight on this problem.

I am new to the forum and would like to say thanks for all the info from the experts on this site. I appologize if this has been covered, but I couldn't find anything on it. I have hydraulic fluid running out of the two little holes in the center of the propeller shaft. I would assume it's...
