Just what I have feared. There are no good mechanics in S.C.!!! I went to my local dealer where I bought my tractor and many implements and asked whom should I speak to about my clutch repair. I was told I needed to talk to David. Walked up to David, the service manager and politely asked "do you have a minute?" and he replied "not really". So I did not exactly get warm and fuzzy feeling about customer service! I said I needed a new clutch and then I asked if the would be willing to do this. You would have thought I was asking him to jump in a fire, as he basically said he just did not care to do this. Gave me every excuse and blew me off. Really pi---ed me off. I walked away and told him next tractor I bought would be green. (sadly, however, the local Deere dealer has about the same reputation)
I did find a retired gentleman who is highly recommended, who has worked on tractors his whole life. He just did a wet clutch on a big Deere, so I think he will be capable. Guess i will give him a try and hope for the best.
So if you want a Kubota, think twice about the dealer in my area! I will never buy anything else there again! I won't mention the name, but if you want info, send me a message and I will bash them by name, privately!
