Anyone know if Kubota has updated the high flow hydraulic pump for the SVL90-2 ? Currently working on a machine with only 450 hours on it and found four (4) teeth broken off of the hydraulic pump gears. the pieces ended up in the valve body and bound up the spool for loader up and down. Removed valve body and was able to retrieve the 4 pieces and free up the spool. This appears to be a common problem with this particular model machine. also what appears to be the cause of the failure is the bronze bushing for the pump gears wore completely out and into the aluminum housing. the wear pattern on the pump gears indicate that this has been going on for a while. curious to see if anyone else experienced a similar problem and how they made out with Kubota. not impressed with this design.
