- Kubota B7100 HST/Kubota L4350MDT/John Deere L130
My clutch rusted out on my L4350 MDT kubota. I split the tractor, cleaned the rust and had my local kubota deal set my clutch up on their clutch table. Got the tractor back together and everything seemed to be working great, until I tried my brush hog. PTO clutch was totally slipping. If I reved the tractor, I could get it to move but that is it. Do you think they set my clutch up incorrectly? They painted two bolts on my clutch pack and said these are the only two bolts to loosen to separate the clutch pack from the flywheel. After removing those two, the clutch was firmly stuck to the flywheel. Once I removed the other 2, they came apart. Did I remove the wrong bolts?
Now I'm stuck. The dealership says its $1600 to split the tractor. That seems rediculous. I split it myself with a little help from my father in 3 hours and I'm a computer nerd! If I split the tractor, have them set it up and put it back in, there is no guarantee that it'll work. I just have a hard time paying the $1600. So, in summary, do you think they incorrectly set up the clutch or I loosened too many bolts?
Thanks in advance for any help!
