Kubota #32425-21280 Transmission Case and Front Drive Gasket

(1 hour)
This gasket was installed on a 1997 Kubota L2350 DT with a Mod. LA450S loader. Oil had been leaking from the gearbox under the transmission that sends power to the front axle. Because of the loader frame, the gearbox and driveshaft tube could barely be lowered enough to slip the gasket into place, yet it can be done. Of course, the oil must be drained first, and there is a lot, a few gallons. There're a couple of alignment dowels for the gearbox; the gasket fits outside these dowels. Have 4WD disengaged as you'll be working the gasket past gears that would otherwise be engaged.
