I can repaie any gear type of tranny, I cannot make the same claim about hydro trannies.

Ben,
I do agree --> nothing is cheaper than repairing it yourself. And many of us old time gear heads have torn into enough stuff to not be afraid of spinning gears. However, from the Kubota workshop manual there are 15 pages on the disassembly and servicing of the HST. The gear transmission has 20 pages. It does look like it is simpler to repair the HST. After all it is just a pump hooked to a motor. Ok, it's a little more complex than that, but not much. I would bet that if you have the manual, you could easily rebuild a hydro.
I truely think that any transmission is going to be swapped for a factory rebuilt one if you go thru the dealer. Shop labor rates and the ability to get competent service techs are going to make that the most cost effective solution. Could be wrong....
