Ok... Everyone in favor of relocating the hydro filter on a BX series Kubota raise your hand!

This weekend while removing the MMM I knocked the filter as I was pulling the deck out from the side. Hydro fuild sprayed out momentarily as the seal behind the filter came away from the mounting flange. I know, should have been more careful, but it seems like a mistake that is all too easy to make.

I haven't heard of that one yet, what hit it? We have had a couple of driveshafts come off and hit them but thats all. ....

I think it was one of the tabs that accepts the mounting pin on the lift arm. Next time I will roll the deck as far forward as possible before sliding it sideways.

BTW, my dealer also cautioned me about making sure the driveshaft is fully connected. He said he's replaced a few tranny housings as a result of a PTO shaft coming loose at 2200RPM. Not pretty.

Is there any way to change the hydro filter without loosing all the fluid? I'd like to replace the dented filter with a new one out of good measure, but I just replaced the fluid 6 hours ago and I don't want to waste it. ....
