Those links do not work for me. Try posting using the "link" tool?

That might be because they are in webarchive format.... which is an Apple OS thing.
I may have had success in converting them; try these to see it they work.
I haven't discovered a "link tool" to make it simple & foolproof.
Here are HTML type links to the first 4 tutorials on hydraulic schematics. I believe there are 10 so far & hopefully Fluid World will make them into a booklet someday.
Hydraulic symbology 1?1: Understanding basic fluid power schematics
Hydraulic symbology 1?2: understanding basic fluid power schematics
Hydraulic symbology 2?3 pressure valves
Flow Control Valves - Hydraulic Symbology 2?4

The dealer just informed me that the exhaust gasket is leaking and is going to replace it. In the old days that was somewhat common on cars. I imagine they already looked for broken exhaust bolts.
This is a common tractor thing?

With ANY used tractor I would not "imagine" anything!
"Truth over facts"..... are always important.

The problem is I am in FL right now. Heading up this week. I will look at the facts when I get there.
What I meant is they do not seem concerned other than changing the gasket. The first thing I thought of was a broken bolt, which can happen on some stuff due to heat/cooling cycles, vibration, etc. Pain in the butt to change potentially. I rarely see them loosen normally.

Well, the Lord giveth and taketh.
The exhaust noise appears to be the muffler. The valves were adjusted and checked by the dealer so all good there. The machine digs like all get-out. Very impressive, as is the loader.
But,... the big but.... is after a few hours the HST does not appear to be working correctly. I first noticed it in reverse, not moving well. Then forward started to not work well. We did test drive it in a field for a while and all seemed good. Clutch, valves? Ideas? I did a few hours of digging, tranny in neutral. Then it happened. It loaded up well on the trailer at about 10-15 degree incline.
There is a 90 day warranty, but we shall see how tall the dealer stands. Good thing the dealer is right down the road.

What happened? What does "not working correctly" mean? Our M59 conpletely stopped responding to the HST treadle one day & it turned out to be a control cable that had broken. Replacement took an hour and cost about $40.
HST transmissions are sensitive to hydraulic oil type and to filtration - especially suction side filtration - and both your hydraulic filters are suction type. Change both hydraulic filters and hydraukic oil right now, making sure to use OEM Kubota filters & oil. Keep the old filters in case you need to look inside them.

It was hauling butt in all directions and ranges. Then after a few hours of digging, when I went to pull away, it was sluggish like it was not getting fluid or traction on the clutch. Very sluggish in reverse, forward was ok, but then it started to feel sluggish in forward as well. It did it twice so far. The dealer changed all filters (marked date) when he got it in. I do not actually know however if the oil was changed. I know if my diesel boat, its always done. But I will assume it was all changed for the moment given the dealer is a tractor guy overall.
I had to leave the site and I left it with a bud that owns his own Kubota 31HP TL so he is familiar. He went there today and told me all was well. So either it is heat related, maybe a sticky valve or something, or maybe I did not have the range selector in exactly the right spot. He knows his stuff and he will be working it tomorrow to get it good and hot for several hours. If it is all good, I had a transient bugger show up, or it's something I did.
What is the best place to order a set of manuals for it?
@rscotty you are the man! Things are being documented, that is for sure. The dealer has been around for about 18 years.
