This is excellent! I can't wait to know what's the fix.

This is excellent. I've mentioned this to my dealer as well. Do service releases like this cost us anything?

Looks like I need to give my dealer a call... Thanks for keeping us posted.

Thanks for the post. The dealer was suppose to drop off the machine today. I called my dealers service manager this morning. He said that he will order the kit and install it before he drops off the machine. Wow, what timing!

I tested a B2630 today and remarked to the dealer that there was quite a bit of vibration in the steering wheel.. He said aha!, you picked up on that vibration.. There is a fix for it involving changing a bracket..
So the B2630 also experiences this vibration..

What a nice machine.. Handles like a dream, steers easily with one finger...

First I heard of the 2630 with vibrations. I dont know of to many people that have them and never see them on the dealer lots here. Thank goodness I got a good one. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Talked to my service guy today about the Vibration Service Bulletin. He told me the Bulletin called for the replacement of a Z shaped bracket around the steering column area.
He said that they shortened it because it was coming into contact with something that was causing the vibration through the wheel and pedal.
He said it called for taking the dash area apart and would take about an hour and a half.
The kit is on order.
No fix for my lopsided loader yet though /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Oh well one thing at a time...... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

anybody ever get update done? make any difference?

The parts are on order for me. I have a copy of the service bulletin. It's three pages. The replacement kit consists of 2 parts, a new Z shaped bracket called a stay that attaches to the body at one and a stud that attaches the stay to the steering post at the other end. If anyone is interested in viewing the service bulletin and can talk me thru on how to send it in layman's english, I'll give it a try.

A friend of mine got an L3430 HST and it did the same thing. Dealer said it was the R-4 tires so they swaped them out for turfs. and all virbrations went away. I sure would not have let them swap my R-4"s. I think Kubota has some bad tires in their stock.
