Found the problem. Gears don't mesh that well when they're this slick!

I've killed the hydraulics on my 'Bota L4400H using the BH90 to dig a septic system. I fear I got the system's hydraulics far too hot. The top boom cylinder even got too hot to touch along with the lines. Backhoe stopped suddenly and now I've got a lovely whining/grinding/spinning noise coming...

Been a while since I've posted anything. I've been using the forums to search for quick fixes and such for my Kubota L4400H. It struck me this morning as I searched the interwebs for a "free" downloadable parts and service manual for my machine that it's one helluva mess out there for owners...

Was able to disassemble and get the spool out with a slight bit of difficulty. Thought that the resistance/grinding felt when coming out would be corrosion. Nope. When it finally came out, I found a couple of very small pieces of metal stuck to the grooves. No corrosion at all; it was shiny...

Folks, sorry if this is a duplicate question, but the forum search engine is simply not helping me find any info. I know it's been addressed somewhere here. Kabota L4400 rear hubs are spiderwebbing at the lugs. (Cheap steel or bad design?? Or maybe it's me.) I've purchased new hubs to replace...

I'm a newbie to the forums and need advice from all you "old timers". Just bought a piece of dirt in SW VA covered in trees and rocks. BIG trees and even bigger rocks. Some of the terrain is STEEEEP. Some of that rock is covered by anywhere from 6 inches to 20 feet of dirt mixed with gravel...
