Here is another little thing I did this weekend. The site glass on the side of the transmission has never really been easy to see. After I bought the tractor I drained the oil and just put back in the spec amount. In hindsight I overfilled the case by about 1 gallon. While heading up to the weekend place I called ahead to a Kubota dealer in Huntsville that was on the way. They had 2 new site glasses in stock. Cost about $8.00 with tax. The plastic piece just pops right out. Has sort of a rubber gasket around the edge. Kubota had secured it with some white caulk looking stuff, I used some black silicon. Once I got it off and could look at it closely I thought I could polish it a bit. I took some 600g sand paper and it made it about 10 times better. But I had the new one and put it in. When I refilled the case I like to keep a little bubble in the glass so I can tell exactly how much is in there. Now when I walk up I can spot the oil without any problem.
I tossed in the last pic of how I keep an eye shot of when I changed the oil last. Sharpies are a good thing!
