Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 50 hour screwed up

[Tractor_Jim_CT]

I started the last part of my 50 hour service today and I really messed up on this part.

See Photo:
A: Hydro transmission oil filter removed (no problem)

Looking at the Kubota manual an the picture shows the transmission drain plug under the filter. There are two large bolts where the picture shows the drain plug that did not make sense. (I'm a visual learner)

B: I filgured what harm to remove plug B in picture next to removed filter. A little fluid drained out and I thought not the plug, but did get a little extra fluid out, since the all seemed to lead to each other.

C: With no harm done on B: I move to C: I noticed a spring that shot out and said to my self, "Oh ****"

I picked op the screen from the oil pan, pushed/ quided it back into the hole and replaced the bolt. Concerned I looked over my manuals and couldn't find if I replaced this correctly. I got to thinking I better look at the oil pan a I noiced a metal ball bearing and I "Oh ****" again.

see next post

Here's a picture of the parts from point C:

The arrow show the direction of how I replaced these parts.
The ball bearing was placed on the top of the spring and quided back into the hole, washer, then bolt.

Did I replace this correctly. I don't want to put the new hydro fluid in, etc. until I know I did this correctly. I now question how nothing came out of plug B: ..the ball was so small, I'm sure it came from C: with the spring.

Yes I did find the drain plug, but also wanted to show this $5 pan I got at Lowes that fit perfect for change. Wipes clean for future use

Just my .02$, but it appears there is a smaller or tapered end on the spring. I would think that end woud be the ball side. I definitely would like to hear from others.

looks like a little check valve for the filter

Cleaned the hydro screen. Had very little metal fragments. Replaced the Hydro fluid and filled the fluid.

Started tractor, let run for a few minutes. The FEL worked perfect. No leaks anywhere.

50 hours is done. Thank God.

Still would like some reasurance on the spring and ball issue.
