Bad Bearing and Kubota B7500 Oil change

This is a long-term owner's field report after routine service on a 2001 Kubota B7500 with 1,853 hours: oil, filters, transmission, and rear-end fluid changed with OEM parts. The real substance is unplanned, he opens up a front differential over a leaking seal and finds a disintegrated bearing, showing the actual metal shards and gear wear. Good for B7500 owners troubleshooting front-axle leaks or bearing wear, not a buying guide.
