Kubota B3200 Leaking Rear Remote

[MattN03]

I noticed the factory installed rear remotes, specifically the detent one, has a minor leak on my Kubota B3200. How do I go about repairing? Is there an o-ring behind the bottom cap shown in the pictures?

Sure is...

The spool is probably the most precisely machined component on your tractor, so watch a bunch of YouTube before you take it out. A detent valve has the added challenge of a bunch of tiny steel balls and a spring that are going to fall on the floor when you pull the spool out. It also looks like you may not have enough clearance above the fender, so you might have to unmount the valve body. How much does that leak bother you....

It'd bother me enough to pay someone else to fix it.

That doesn't look like the detent. It appears to be the relief valve cap. But yeah, it should have a seal washer or an O-ring under it.

Clean, powder and repeat to make sure where the leak is coming from. Oil from several places could show up on the low point. Check the obvious fittings and valve body section bolts for tightness first.
