911 Emergency! Lost all Forward, Reverse & Power Steering!

[FTG-05]

PITA is exactly right! No room to move or get tools in, very stiff hose, no leverage. Took about 30 seconds to find it, almost 15 minutes to get it off.

Pics:









Looks like a regular radiator hose to me. I had to cut it with a PVC cutter to get it off.

Maybe, if you cant find something locally...

Probably going to be a bear to get new hose on if you can't move something to get some "space"...

Called the local Kubota dealer, nothing in stock for any Kubotas dealers in the area (there was one about 100 miles south of me). So I just messicked the part.

Now I'm glad I did: I didn't know there was something called "Hydraulic Suction Hose". So thanks for posting that DL.

I almost tried the O'Reilly's radiator hose thing like I did for the lower radiator hose, but then decided I didn't want to have to ever replace this thing again. Now I'm glad I'm going to do it right. Means the tractor will be down for a week or so. Which also means it will be another week before we find out if this is the problem.

Thanks for the help.

Would this suction hose account for:

There was soft thump or click and all power going forward went away.

Or was that unrelated or possibly a result of the hose leak?

I am going to be pessimistic and say that was not the problem. I do see quite a bit of oil on things more on the left side of your first pic.

I have no idea. Maybe popping out of gear?

There used to be a leak in the FEL hoses at the FEL block. I fixed it for the most part, but the dirty hose shows there's still a small one there.

I relooked at the pic and noticed the wear point on the steering shaft. Whatever that cable is needs to be tied down to prevent any more rubbing.

Thanks,

On the first pic, what is that gray hydraulic block on the right side of the pic? I've attached the pic again for your convenience.

Thanks,

Finally got the hose replaced today.

No joy! Zero change: No Forward, No Reverse, No Power Steering. Hydraulic oil is full, no air, no bubbles.

HELP!

Since it was a sudden failure and not gradual, it might have sheared the pump shaft. Being a GST tractor, it all relies on the pump to engage the clutch packs for forward/reverse plus steering.

How hard is it to take the pump out to check the shaft?
