I do appreciate the advice and I am certainly not ignoring it. I get that the only true way to know is to tear it down. This is a strange calculus. I don't own the tractor, so I really cannot say 'tear it down and see where we are'. I also cannot really dictate where it goes for repair...

Thanks for the advice all. I'll probably go to look at the tractor on Wednesday to both validate the rental companies story and simply to see how hard I think a DIY would be. I also called a few local kubota dealers. I'm getting the impression that they never rebuild/remanufacture. One was...
