HI All, New to the forum and Kubota. Recently picked up this tractor ( L2950GST 4x4 ) with known issues. First; the clutch needed replaced. second; the rear PTO only works in High. Nothing when put in Low.
So, here is where I am with this project. I split the tractor and found that the pilot bushing was in bad shape. it was froze up and was lacking half its balls. The clutch disc itself had no splines. I can only assume that it was just free wheeling in there???? Actually there was only 1 bolt holding the clutch housing to the flywheel housing, everything else was stripped or broken.
I bought a used housing on ebay, and I've ordered everything I need to get the clutch back into operation. Its been a pretty easy and smooth job so far.
My question , has anyone had a similar issue with the PTO. Any trouble shooting ideas. and how necessary will the low gear be. I'd like to run a post hole digger and maybe a brush hog. will the low gear be vital with those kind of operations?
Id' like to kick this around a bit and think it through before I put this thing back together seeing how I'm halfway to a trans separation anyway.
Thanks for your advice and input.
