Suddenly couldn't move anymore, got out and saw a big fluid leak near the loader valve. Shut down and the kubota had to pull me around a little to where I could pick it up with the truck. Well, got the loader valve rebuilt and reinstalled and refilled the hydraulic reservoir. Also changed the engine oil and cranked it a bit without starting to prime the oil pressure. Now I noticed oil is running over out of the left side chain case cover. Removed the cover and fluid went all over. Seems the oil is pumping from the hydraulic reservoir straight into the chain case. I've never worked on the motors and chain drive. Am I right in guessing the drive motor seal blew out and is pushing oil into the chain case? Since I got the machine, one side has always been slower, and I think it's this same side. Thanks -Hans</p></blockquote><p></p>
