Peek's Peak Hobby Homestead· Mar 2023
✦
Overview
A hobby homesteader brings his Kubota BX23S to a dealership after breaking the differential lock, and the shop technicians walk through the disassembled transmission on camera, showing the damaged diff lock pins, metal shavings, ring gear scuffing, and PTO clutch pack internals. Technicians also explain preventive hydraulic pump O-ring and seal replacement done opportunistically while the trans is out. Best for BX owners curious about what diff lock damage actually looks like inside.
