With my first 50 hours rapidly approaching on my 2910, I went to my local Kubota dealer to get the parts I needed for the 50 hour service. I got the Kubota oil, but he did not have the Kubota UDT (he told me they used the John Deere UDT in their service dept). I bought the oil filter, and also a oil filter for the transmission.
Yesterday, the 50 hours rolled around, and I started my mainternance. I changed the oil, and the oil filter. (I noticed that the new Kubota oil filter was a little smaller in diameter than the original one on the tractor, but the threads and the seal size was the same.)
Next I got ready to change the Trans fluid, but I read the manual first (good thing I did), and I noticed there are 2 filters when you change the transmission fluid (one for the Hydralics, and one for the HST). My dealer only some me one filter. I went back today to buy the other one, and he called Kubota for the part number, and then told me that they don't stock that filter. He'd have to order it. I ordered some stuff from him last week and it ended up in another state (so I was not too excited about having him speical order a filter). I asked him if I brought my tractor into him for the 50 hour service, what would they use for a filter, and he told me that they'd still just order it and make me wait a week to get my tractor....
Anyway, so I let him order me the filter, but I was wondering, can I get these oil filters at an auto parts store or something. They look like regular oil filters, and I don't want to wait aonther week to change my HST fluid for the first time.
Thanks
