Wife said we got a lot of rain back home. I'm working in west tx and we got a good snowy day.

Very good people here from what I've seen. Definetly glad to be a member here. [emoji482]

Show me the money $$$$$ haha No telling how much they've made off of some metal shavings.

Well it's a little reassuring to hear other people had the same issue as me. I agree that they definitely need to do a better job of flushing these units out.

Mine has the sight glass. Would rather a dipstick personally. Im betting it'll all be ok. :D Thanks

i bought it back in the first half of 2012. So no warranty for me :eek: I was thinking about going 50 hours and changing the filter again. Definitely good info. I'm a member of a couple truck forums and was hoping to find a good tractor forum. Which it looks like i did:D

Hydraulic fluid didn't look to bad. Found just a few small metal pieces after draining it. Nothing alarming though. Diff fluid was a hydraulic fluid by the smell of it. It had got pretty dark in color. I haven't emptied the container yet. So don't know if it had any metal shavings or not.

Also adjusted out my safety switch on my HST pedal. Did it once before. Adjusted it a good ways out this time.

Changed the front axle fluid. Went with Mystik 80w90. I don't think they changed it or the hydraulic fluid on the 50 hour service. Drain bolts still looked to good and painted. Didn't hardly look scuffed up. Oh well I knew better in the first place to get someone else to do it.

Yeah I know better than to let other people do the work. Especially something I can do myself. I actually prefer doing my own mechanic work. Unless I really don't feel comfortable about the job.

Thanks I haven't thought of that I think I will go ahead and do that too. I seen the book called for either the udt fluid or 80w/90. I might go with valvoline 75w90 synthetic don't see what it would hurt.

Also original dealer here sold out. Have another kubota dealer that opened but none of the people from the old dealer are there so can't really ask no one.

I looked back at my records and it shows it all was changed. I know filter was because original was painted gray. But I'm doubting they did the fluid and charged me for it. Should of just did it all myself like I normally do.

I did some more searching on the web. And found a few more that showed excess metal. Seems it cleared up for them anyways. Picking up some super UDT2 fluid today and going to go ahead and change out all the fluid too.

Experienced the same issues with my 2011 L3200
