Broke front hub

[GPintheMitten]

On my Kubota B2620, I broke the left front hub. I don't know what exactly caused the failure but nothing a thousand dollars can't fix.

Sorry about your loss... stuff happens when you actually use things. I pushed my hood back some a year ago hauling a big stump on my forks. Time to plead with the wifey for a back up tractor... [ especially with today's snow ]..

Worth a try.... !!!!!

Show her this picture... it will either help some or HURT A LOT....

Oooo... BUGGER!

They asked me what I was doing. I told them I was using it. I've never had a truck, tractor or other equipment break while parked in the driveway.

Actually I was spreading gravel at my daughters farm. About 5 hours of getting a loader full of gravel, driving down the lane then dumping it and spreading it. Back and forth.

I did see a nice B2650 cab in the showroom but hard to justify the $26000.

Good one jerryk. I saw that before, but now it applies to me.

So sad, do we need to send flowers or do you have a charity you'd rather us send money too. Not many of these tractors in the junk yard so might be hard to find used.

How many hrs on the tractor?

 

[GPintheMitten]

The hub casting isn't brok, just internal parts I think.Don't send flowers. Send warm weather. Ha ha.

I think hours are around 600.

It was a good time to take a crap. Now my soninlaw is out plowing about 10 inches of snow with his tractor.
