Kubota L2550 clutch Problem

[rec3490]

I'm a guest here so excuse me if I bruise protocol
I have a borrowed Kubota 2550.
I was using it to move some loam the other day and suddenly lost all forward and reverse capability.
My Buddy whom i borrowed it from said it had been dripping some transmission fluid recently.

So far I have done the following:
Refilled the transmission (which took about 20 quarts)

Tested with all possible drive configurations (to eliminate the stupidity factor)

Checked the bottom side for anything which might have become disconnected.


The Kubota dealer (Larry at East Elliot Garage in Elliot, Maine) said the clutch is probably gone but given that it happened with none of the usual signs of a worn clutch ($1500.00), I am wondering if it is possibly something else...........and hopefully something cheaper.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob Crowley

I am not familiar with this model, but I also think it unlikely that it was the clutch. Look for any linkage that could have shaken free or broken, or perhaps a key or pin somewhere in the tranny case? Really stretching here....you mention dripping fluid, which would not play a factor on a gear tranny - this is a gear, not hydro tranny, right?

sure sounds like the range box is in neutral, perhaps the transmission fork dropped the gear?

Is the clutch pedal still spring returning to normal position?

Can you see if the flywheel/ pressure plate have oil on em from the leaking tranny?
