Doing the 50hr

Took off filters, put new on, put in 2qts udt

Checked level, too high

Took filters back off, check level again same level!

Wtf is going on here?
 
yep, no amount of running the engine has changed the level

and like I said, I took the filters back off, let them drain again, ran the engine again, still no change in the fluid level

it drives in all gears but the damned level will not change for me and i'm afraid to drive it much until I get whatever is wrong right
 
Please don't be upset, but because this makes no sense, I have to ask, are you using the right dipstick?

yes

i'm thinking it was a factory overfill at this point because I know I got my two quarts back out of it

I pulled the main plugs and put 7.5 quarts of super udt2 in and now the level reads perfect

however, now it's not shifting into hi, low and reverse are working right, high just stops about 16mph, feels like the parking brake is on

is this air in the lines that'll work out or did my 2 more quarrts on top of an already too full transmission fuck something up?
 
This sounds familiar... A while back, somebody drained the wrong plug... and added fluid to wrong one. engine instead of transmission or transmission instead of engine - can't remember which... I would check that before running it. collie
 
runs fine, all oils are in the right place in the right amounts

did a complete service on an '04 this morning

what i'm looking at now, is a hi range that doesn't want to run in high range. not sure low isn't faster

ETA: this one is an 1120d
 
HMMMM! I would verify the filters are correct and in the proper place. sounds like the oil if foaming to me. you did say you used the Kubota brand Super UDT II correct? also just for shits and giggles was the unit running fine when it was 2 quarts over? could the dipstick be incorrect for your machine? try overfilling those two quarts and see what happens.
 
Fresh kubota super udt2, same that's running fine in my zd331

Kubota correct filters that were on the machine and running fine with it overfilled

The only changes made since running correctly and running like it is was the draining od the udt and the refill with udt2

Makes no sense to me unless the level was low and it's at the top of the checkering on the dipstick
 
it has a wire dipstick correct? could it be a dipstick made for the engine? could the two have been mixed up sometime? could the dipstick be for another machine? try overfilling it until it is where it was on the dipstick before you serviced it and see what happens.
 
I mean on the dip stick. In the post I mentioned reading, I believe the person drained the transmission but added the fluid to the incorrect place. So his engine oil was over and nothing had been put in the transmission...
 
when i changed the oil at 50 hours on my X1100C the factory fill was overfull on my plastic dipstick. i didn't refill to the mark i just put the amount the book called for back in. it still registers a little overfull and i have had no problems for several hundred miles.
