You are correct, diff compartment sump, and no it couldn't have migrated from fwd compartment. I agree, I was guessing, Those areas of the tractor have never been apart lol, they are the only areas that haven't. I am at a loss as to where it came from. I did replace the shift fork or yoke as I...

Actually many of those moments! Because of the very orginal problem of it breaking in half, I attributed the additional problems to unknown damage. I should have done the basic troubleshooting and found out why? Would have saved me a lot of headache!

It actually travels past the valve and did strike the valve. That was the 3pt issue. I solved it by grinding relief on the knuckle of the arm. Very beefy area, won't compromise strength. I can't explain why it hit the valve but it did! Not once, but 4 times. I figured it out too late and...

LOL, I can't say 100% it's my problem, but I can say it didn't help my problems. Every time I see those empty 303 buckets I kick myself in the butt and say, "Boy, glad I saved money on my fluid!"

Took some time to try to find where the broken ring came from. No luck, I just can't find a part that's missing. Here are some additional pictures that show some of the wear inside. Rear Diff shows some wear for sure.

Well, Tractor is torn down for the 7th time. I know it now without even labeling anything, not a good thing. So far I've found a couple of issues! As I said from the beginning, I knew why my 3pt wouldn't raise anymore. The control valve casting was fractured at the mounting point. This...

I don't need it sugar coated, it is what it is! I may save someone my issues but these posts!

This is the fluid that I'm running in my Kubota. 303 hydraulic fluid

I am not 100% sure but I think it has that fluid that was recalled or there was a problem with it. I fried told about it and sure enough I have two or three empty buckets out there. I think it was from TSC??? Anyways, you know what Ive been through with this beast, if I can spend a little more...

Yes, I do, I Love Messicks, that's where I get my parts from. Could part of this be buying cheap Hyd Fluid?

16 Feb: Fixed the bead on my tire, installed, limped the tractor around, and was able to get her in the shop. Noticed it ran better at low rpm. The bucket was slow but operated in all directions, steering was super hard.

No worries, I'm not sure what the problem was with the link I had there, it may have not taken you to my original post from years back, I believe that's what Wolfman fixed. Grateful for the help.

Thanks, Do they make a rebuild kit or do I just replace all the seals, inspect the rest?

Bad Day: you can figure this out yourself, wrecker guy was impressed it stay connected to the trailer.lol Vid: shows the relief clearance between the piston rod and valve. it also shows the side to side movement of the piston rod on the 3pt upper arms shaft Bad Day: you can figure this out...

No worries, sorry I was an ass! it happens from time to time, VA doc is working on it! Lol

Just as Wolfman suggested, I fired it up, ran the PTO, both rear and mid operate fine. The shaft that runs to the front axle is spinning also. I was able to roll the bucket under and lift the front end off the ground. I have one front wheel off waiting to get the bead redone. So I didn't drive...

There was a link there, Wolfman changed it, not sure why.

Thats nice of you to come on my thread and stroke Wolfmans ego, I'm sure he doesn't need that. I guess you have never been is a maintenance meeting when there are more then one opinions on how to proceed! Wolfman was who I was looking to weigh in on my issue. I knew he would know what...

I understand, I have a bore scope, won't I be able to see it in the sump area below the fill port? I know the hyd fluid won't produce power if it's filled with air. Same as cavitation on a boat!
