Finally had a chance to finish up the job. Once the subframe was installed the rest went really fast. Put the loader back on and the ROPS in less than 1 hour. Then another hour to put the fenders and tires back on.

Then the true test, no hydraulic leaks, went into every gear, pto started, 4wd worked.

The only issue I ran into was the differential was locked, but after pressing the pedal a few times it came loose.

All told took about 8 hours to disassemble, 12 hours back together, and 3 weeks waiting for various parts to arrive.

merry xmas -yubby

Hello Yubby. It痴 13 years later and your post is bringing a lot of knowledge to me. I have almost exact same issue. I知 looking for a new case and Kubota is very proud of them. Messicks is a little better but not much. Do you remember if you bought straight from a dealer? I know it痴 reaching way back in time and I understand completely if you have no recollection. Thanks

It痴 obvious I have used incorrect syntax. I apologize and will go see if any posts are out there stating what can and cannot be used.

It looks like yubby has not posted since 2012. If I may ask, how many hours on your B21 and what is the work history of it?

I was afraid Yubby might be available! It has 1500 hrs on it and I知 not sure of the history. I think I might have caused it by being pretty rough with it. it seems to be a weak point. I busted my differential case as well. Oh well, live and learn.

In my case, it was parts of the transmission breaking off internally and getting into the differential gears. My full rebuild is posted.

Oh great, I have about 1600 hours. Tick, tick, tick,,,,

I am not hard on it but the previous owner could have been, I do not know.

One of the failure modes is to force the range shifter and break an internal part. I think an owner who cares (not a renter) can avoid this behavior. It is interesting that many/most CUTs don't shift ranges easily since the gears are often straight-cut, and sometimes under small loads.

I think the B21 is a good tractor, if somewhat under-powered, and with a weak 3-point. Many of them are in rental fleets.
