Once again, thank you all for your responses. I have one final request for info (I hope it's a final one anyway). I have decided that my integrity won't allow me to do a half ass job out of retribution nor just to get me through this winter so I'm going to replace the ring gear as well. My...

I've been pretty gentle with the tractor and use it mostly on pasture for mowing some sections with sage and rabbit brush. I also use it to turn a number of large compost piles and in the winter (mainly last year's winter) to plow snow off the driveway of 1/2 mile length. She and her husband (he...

Oh yeah, I was also kind of wondering about finding a machinist who could weld up some metal on the shaft, lathe it back to right diameter and then recut the splines. This would keep me from having to possibly disassemble the entire contents of the axle to get to the ring gear to replace it...

I am in the midst of repairing the 4x4 on my landowner's L35. The front bevel gear splines as well as the coupler splines have worn to the point of freely spinning. I'm considering a couple things including possibly just using a new coupler and let it wear down the final bit of spline metal on...

So I read the thread and went to the tractordata.com site. I operate an L35 and they only list (or at least, I could only find) a L3500. That was the only one that said "no data". Does anyone have a sense when the L35 model was made...from what year to what year? I ask because the tractor...

I've put this on the back burner for a bit as I've got so much more to accomplish on my farm than I could stay ahead of. I very much appreciate all the input and direction. I've been running it in 2 wheel drive minimally but will be needing 4 wheel as winter is coming rapidly here. What would...

I was able to collapse the sheath and removed the roll pin. It was not fully intact and looked like it had partially slid out of the hole and likely did cause the wear that sliced open the sheath circumferentially. When I slid the coupler towards the rear of the tractor on the driveshaft I...

I visited the servicemanualvault site and found L3540 and L355 but no L35 model. Photo images of the other two don't look like my L35. Thought this L35 was a particularly common Kubota. Any sense if they are similar enough to be able to use the manual to repair a 4x4 front axle issue?

Ok...just sitting inside the kitchen thinking about the logics of this. I am imagining that the pin started coming out and wore the inside of the protective sheath until it finally sliced through it. I didn't capture a photo but there is also a hole torn through the sheath which seems to match...

Spline and coupling. I could slide the sheath back a bit by loosening the hose clamps that held the rubber coupler.

I think you are accurate about the coupling having possibly walked back as the sheath covering the driveshaft (propeller shaft) seems to be sliced about where the pin is. The pin is still partially in the hole but I can feel the far end of it on the back side of the shaft and it feels rough as...

The tear is circumferential around the cover of the propeller about 2 inches from where the whole thing enters the front axle. I'm getting the tractor up on blocks today after chores are complete and will post a few pics. I'm hoping that it's a mere roll pin...sounds like a much easier fix than...

I have (my landowner actually) a Kubota L35 tractor. Not sure of the year but is fairly well used and was purchased used by the landowner. Most of the existing equipment on the farm have NOT been maintained very well and I find myself spending plenty time doing repairs that may have been...
