PLEASE HELP? BX22 HST problem

[LD1]

Where is the picture of the tractor where that part came out of?

How low did you run the oil level before you fixed the known leak and refilled?

Have you ever operated a HST tractor before?

How to PROPERLY operate a HST is a mystery to some. IF you are in a higher range they may feel gutless and not able to pull a hill like you experienced. The WRONG thing to do is push the pedal harder. When it starts to run out of power....you BACK OFF the pedal and/or drop down a range.

Yes, but doing that wrong would just stall the engine. It should not cause the HST to blow up.

First off Hydro Gear don't make the Kubota HST unit, Kubota makes them, themselves. Secondly, you destroyed the unit and will have to replace it. I bet you used cheap fluid too. HST's require Kubota UDT or SUDT fluid. Time to bite the bullet and pony up the money for your lack of taking care of an issue (you ran the unit out of fluid with the leaking hose). Either than or sell it as is for parts.

You are gonna pay for your ignorance, one way or another.

No, but its hard on the unit. Compounded by the fact that the thing was ran either out of fluid or nearly out of fluid due to neglecting a a leak.

And even if kubota doesnt make the HST.....its unlikely to find repair parts for much less than the $2100 quoted.

Sadly, I think 5030 is correct. You either pay for the mistakes, or it becomes a parts tractor and never run again.

Tractorpartsasap.com (All State Ag Parts) shows one for $1000. Need to check if they still have it.

Unfortunately I do not have a photo of the damage yet, because I can't see it yet. Just got the backhoe/seat and mower deck off.

Not exactly sure in time how long from low or empty to the point it wouldn't go forward or reverse anymore before I refilled it.

I have learned learned this since then. The tractor was/has definitely been in low gear (turtle) during this ordeal. Confirmed many times the park pedal was off also. Sad part is the rear wheels wouldn't even spin or "peel out" like if one was stuck.

I dont have a picture yet but certainly will post. I've so far pulled the backhoe/seat and mower deck off.

I haven't operated one before, but have since learned that about the pedal. The range selector was indeed in low range (turtle) and confirmed many times over the parking brake was off.

The hydraulic version of letting the smoke out. Definitely chunks of casting on the ground. Sorry to see that. Reminds me to check the oil level on my JD4300.

Thanks, hope this never happens to you!

Could it could be the Hydro Pressure adjustment which is done through adding or removing washer shims

Unless a hole punched through the case it could be a simple fix...

Definitely not an adjustment and blew out. Oil gushed out the bottom as well as that is a piece of the casing.

That would be a pump piston and two piston return springs laying with the housing debris.

Hey Randy,
Actually just one spring bent in half but nevertheless the damage is done. Looking to forward to learning more about it as I take it apart.

Was hoping someone has one out and could get me the Non Kubota HST part number.
