If you followed the thread...the first dealer told me I no compression in one of my cylinders.

Took it to a different dealer

The tractor has always sounded off to me. I posted this year's ago. Thanks for the help. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/hydrostat-noise-question.55196/

Added some videos in separate post fyi

I jacked it up and spun the wheels. Too me just sounds like the gears working normal but there is slight clicking noise. I used a heavy duty 6 ft disc for 3 hours today. Here are my observations Top speed is only 13 mph Still acts like a brake is on or shuddering when I accelerate very...

The rear end noise does exist, but it is not loud. The delearship is the oldest kubota dealer in the country...lol :(. They lifted the tractor up by the ROPS via off road forklift. With the engine off we rotated the rear wheels, and yes you could here a faint noise coming from what sounded...

Yes. They hooked up to dyno and said it's only putting out 40 hp but said it could be a number of different things causing low HP. I asked them to do a compression test. They said one cylinder only had 50psi. When I got the tractor home I looked for evidence the compression test was...

The dealership spent 13 hours @$135 per hour going through the rear end with no answers. Attached is the service sheet. They offered to take care of the labor if I paid for parts. I had no choice , I had to take that offer. I guess I'll go to another dealer and tell them what isn't the...

Are there any clutch adjustments or just clutch pedal free play?

5740 hydrostat, I was going up a very steep hill and half way up I decided it was a bad idea, I let the hydro hold my position while I thought about my options. All of the sudden something gives and I'm rolling backwards full speed! Still alive, but now when I accelerate fwd and reverse...

This is my first summer with it, so I don't know it's history. My 3240 did the same thing when pulling the same heavy disc. Additionally the air filter is clean. I guess my normal is a little hot but not too hot? Firs

I have a l5740 that runs one bar past the middle whenever its under load or working. I have flushed the coolant and replaced with new green coolant 50/50 plus a coolant additive, used an air compressor to thoroughly clean radiator fins, then wash the radiator with water hose. I have also...

Dealer says this is the way it operates. Case closed.

Also I did mode a test. Everything checked out per manual. I'm beginning to think this is the way it is? I did notice a cruise control kit for a 3901 on you tube that has linkage between cruise control lever and pedal. I see no linkage on the 5740

Well I just swapped the cruise sensor and the pedal sensor because they are the same part number. The tractor operates the exact same......errr!
