[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3860961, member: 14646"] Hey, so, thought I ask here since there are a lot of experienced tractor guys on OSA. New to the tractor scene since we moved to our property. Have a kubota L2501 25hp with HST. Noticed the Trans flund was really low so added 2 gallons to it. Still seemed low so when i was at the Kubota dealer i asked the service guy how much I should put in and he basically said, while looking through the fill hole to fill it up to where you can start seeing it. Literally a very vague answer. These tractors don't have dip sticks. Got another gallon of fluid and stopped filling about 2" from the top. Buttoned it back up and done. Well, go out to the shop today after work and there is probably a quart of oil on the floor under the tractor. Looked all around and find that the rubber vent for the trans case is wheeping/dripping oil through the breather tube that looks like a rubber question mark shape. Closer look seems the oil was probably filled an inch or two higher than the breather. Obviously over filled the case with fluid. How bad is this? Seems there my be a sight glass on these but havent found it yet and from what I've read, it is next to useless. Anyone have a clue what the correct level may be for the trans fluid? What damage could be done by operating with an overfilled trans? Thanks [/QUOTE]
