Hello and welcome to this great Forum…
The L3600 is the same as the L2900, L3300, and the L4200. They are all good tractors. I am not sure I follow your post… Is the clutch bad? Was the only problem the snap ring? KennyV.
PS… your cap lock would appear to be stuck….

This is a common problem in the early gst transmissiion. Kubota has extended warranty to original owner by serial number. If the snap ring comes completly out normally no other damage occurs. Yor must replace clutch case and some shift rods as new case is thicher in snap ring area. Good luck!
