Mowing Kubota Rear Mower eck RCR48 (For B7100HST $WD)

[DaveOfTheDogs]

Hi.

My friend loaned me his tractor on a semi-permanent basis. It is an old model, a B7100HST. The tractor has a rear-mower deck attachment RCR48.

A few months ago, the U-Joint on the PTO axle cracked, and I took it in for service to a Kubota dealer in Hemet.

While in for service, they installed a new PTO axle and new blades also.

Three months later, I am attempting to use the mower deck, and it seems that the PTO axle will only move in one direction. I am unsure if the dealer's service department did anything with the transmition on the mower deck. Would this be a reason that the mower blade only revolve in one direction? Whenever I attempt to enable the PTO in either low of high gear, it siezes up, and also forces the tractor's engine to stop.

I am wondering if someone can answer my question regarding the above. I am also looking for manual's for the tractor and the mower deck so that I can better maintain the tractor.

When I was at the dealer, they were not even able to pull the RCR48 up on their computer.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

From your description you have not used the mower since PTO was repaired. Firsts guess is wrong blades may have been installed. Check that they have enough clearance to turn inside deck. Try removing blades from mower and operate PTO.
If mower will not turn with blades removed. Check gear box. PTO shaft should turn easily. I had the MMM version of this mower on my B7100. There is a bearing under the gear box that is part of the center blade housing. I had one of these go bad. It caused all kinds of problems.
If it still will not rotate gear box may be bad. Don't know how to tell you to repair this without a parts breakdown or manual.
