I got the tractor to the dealer where I purchased it. They had spoken to the Kubota rep and we are all on the same page as to what is going on. He said he should have the part by Wednesday of this week and it should be ready to be picked back up on Saturday morning. If all goes well, I'll be mowing till the sun goes down Saturday and performing my 50hr service after church on Sunday. For now I will keep my fingers crossed.

When I had my 3 point shudder problem fixed, I did it at the same time as my 50 hour service. The dealer recommended doing it that way since they have to drain all the fluid out to change the valve, so the fluid change was covered in the warranty work. Saved me some $ on the 50 hour service....

Thanks, Kubota Terry...I am going to call my dealer tomorrow and see how everything is going. I already have all the required fluids and filters so if the dealer has to drain all the hydro fluids before installing the right valve, I will just replace the hydro/tranny filter and then top her off. It's due for an oil change and front diff change so I am going to do that on Sunday...but I'm glad that you mentioned that they have to change out the hydro fluid. This will save me time and some dough. Thanks,

I picked up my bota yesterday at the dealer where it had the 3-point valve upgraded. It's like night and day as to how much smoother the operation is. It was definatley worth getting it fixed. The only down side is that I notice a few scratches around where they had worked on it. Another thing....When I stopped at the gas station to fill up my Tahoe, I looked at the site glass that shows Hydo fluid amount since my tractor was on the trailer. I noticed that the hydro fluid didn't show anything until I shook the tractor a little. Everything works fine and I am going to do the 50hr service mid week so I'm not too worried about it. Dealer probably didn't top off the tranny/hydro fliud after replacing the valve. Most of it was all over my finish mower and tractor axle. Glad I had it fixed. I can sleep a little better now (especially once I give it a good 50hr service and clean it up a bit) Thanks to all!!!

Past the two week period the Dealer said it would take for the part to arrive , guess I will have to give them a jingle to remind them .

Man that's rediculus...After the two day shipping for the part, my dealer had mine fixed within a few hours. It just took me over a week to go and pick it back up. I called the VP in Suwanee GA and raised cane until he gave my dealer the go ahead to swap out the valve. The number for the GA plant is 770-995-8855. Ask to speak with someone in warranties and then tell him you want a rep to come out so you can show them the fauly action of the 3-point. I hope this helps.
