Back in 2019 I posted about fixing my tractor's ailing HST. It's been running fine since. I had bought a nearly new replacement HST unit in case I needed it - but mine only needed new cradle bearings, which I ordered from Kubota.
An HST transmission rarely fails, but if it does the tractor becomes a boat anchor ( a new HST trans is now over $6k). I still have this extra HST unit and by now I'm pretty sure I won't be needing it. If anybody needs one I'd part with it - fits Lxx10 models (Here's one that was recently listed on eBay).
I'd like to get what I have in it around $1600. You pick up or figure truck freight for 130 lb. from MA. On the Lxx10 models, replacement requires a split behind the clutch housing. This HST is also used on the L48 - which has an under-frame to remove first.
I'd also consider buying your tractor with ailing HST as-is. (Retired and have time for a project) Hope this post doesn't violate any forum rules. Take care, Dick B
