I put the ujoint that goes to the front wheel drive in today...It was the one I started out to do before the holidays. The one right in front of the carrier bearing. I have already had to replace it once before. All the others on that drive line are still good. Wonder why it is problematic...

My conclusion is : I have just about got it done, and I saved a lot of:gotsmoney: I would like to know what a Kubota dealer would charge for replacing those u joints and the other stuff that goes with it. I got the seals from Kubota and two new boots. ($72...and change) I zip tied them on...

I am certainly not trying to get anyone to follow my example in any shape form or fashion, but in this case, I feel that the original parts were not something to hold up as a stellar example to shoot for as I didn't get the 1000 to 3000 hours of use that you speak of. Three of the four rear...

I ordered the u joints from ebay last night. Going with the Precision 397. Got two for under $20.00 shipping an all from one vendor and then ordered two more for just under $16.00 each....I got the other axle out just a little bit ago. What a pain...Probably will take Collie's advice and...

Here is some of my escapades :sorry for the side ways pictures, I am still trying to get the hang of this. I learned something...a hydraulic jack won't work up side down...at least this one wouldn't. I made this press out of some old concrete forms I had...It would have worked I think if I...

I have made a little progress. By using the electric impact wrench on a heavy duty gear puller and then alternating between using the small air hammer I have and bumping it with a hammer I did manage to get one hub off. Then I bumped the axle end with a hammer and drove it out...the bearing...

Mark I did get out the air hammer after you suggested it. No success yet. I made a make shift press and put a 20 ton jack to it as well...Couldn't get it centered just perfectly because of the way the bumper is made..it bent one side of my supports...one down the other up....need bigger...

aarkie I wish I was that far along. If you can access my pictures in the album you can see that I cant even get the hub off the bumper. I haven't taken the shafts off the side of the transmission yet, as I think that will go pretty smooth. I want to get the hard stuff done before I open up...

I had a light duty gear puller...it didn't get the job done. Borrowed a better one from my neighbor ,,,as of yet it has not moved the hubs either...I am going to try to post picts. Here is where I am. Oh well that didn't happen. I have a couple in my album can't figure it out yet. Maybe...

I went to the Messicks page, and they directed me to the Kubota parts manual, so I printed off a copy of the diagram. The hub which Kubota calls an axle for whatever reason should just come off...but its stuck as well it seems...Its New Years day and not a lot to do but mess with this...

I have been going back through this thread trying to make sure I haven't missed too much. In post #17 I see that bordercollie has the hub off as the press is being used to get the axle out. Is that necessary? I think I really only need to replace the ujoint on that outside axel . I don't...

I got the castle nuts off with the help of the old dewalt electric. I am afraid I am going to have the same trouble bordercollie did about getting it loose though. Banjo

First post here. And right off I want to say thanks for this thread. It has already helped me make several decisions.... I have the bumper off, and three of the four u joints are shot at 930 hours its a 2006 I think, and I bought it new, so I did all the damage myself I guess. I can't seem to...
