PLEASE HELP? BX22 HST problem

[Tomtint]

There is a stripped BX for sale on CL in the South Shore Boston area. May be worth picking it up as I believe all the parts you need are still on it.

If that is what I think it is....It's gonna cost! It looks like a valve and spring from the HST valve blocks. I had to replace them on my BX24 a few years ago. $350+ each for the valve blocks. My question is How did it get outside the transmission casing? There would have to be a sizable hole in the HST casing to allow that valve to get out!

Yes the whole thing sucks as mentioned Kubota wants $2,100 for a new HST. That's why I am looking for an aftermarket one and do not really care where it comes from lol... I'm not sure how the parts got out but I will definitely post pictures as soon as I assess the damage.

Thx!!

In looking at exploded parts diagram a possible place that piston came from is if the motor thrust bearing swash plate assembly disintegrated allowing the piston to come out of the cylinder block and thought the housing. other more unlikely option is if the motor drive shaft broke allowing cylinder block to move sideways and then piston becomes lawn ornament.

Agree will be interesting to see pictures of the casting and internals but suspect a severe depletion of cash for this project.

Other concern is where else did the debris go? Other bearings in transmission case, steering system, back hoe. Hopefully not since those are on a separate pump with filtered inlet.

Best wishes to the OP on getting this repaired and operating again.

With hydraulics cleanliness is a must.

I appreciate you responding and helping out.
I will definitely let you know what the damage looks like.

Thanks for the well wishes.!!

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.

First if all, thoughts arent facts so dont assume **** or give me a lecture! I DID NOT use "cheap fluid" and used what Kubota sells/recommends.

I can also give you the number and the name of the guy that has worked for hydrogear for over 20 years if you would like to talk to him.

I know that I should not have ran it with the leak but I did. Anyhow, it's funny that three different Kubota dealership mechanics have told me that just because I did what I did would not cause that HST to do what it did (one Kubota dealer owner I've known for over 30 years!)...Call it ignorance or call it what you want, you're an idiot! You should go reprimand your kids, sounds like you don't get enough of that.

Tractorpartsasap.com (All State Ag Parts) shows one for $1000. Need to check if they still have it.View attachment 719648

Yes I actually saw this already about a week ago, called and it was gone.

Thank you though!!
