The alternator locked up and was not spinning while the tractor was running.
Took it apart and the bearing toward the front was broke.

The manual for my Kubota B1550HST has a list of other brand of fluid to use and I chose Exxon Torque Fluid 56.

I sure dont want this to happen again at 250-300 hours.

I think I want a L4400HST

And did you go back with new oil, or strain and use the originl oil since it had low hours on it, and put on new filters?
