Output shaft is bent on my Kubota MX6000. There is a nut inside the assembly and I have no idea how to get it out. It's about 3" inside that cup. Any ideas?


Eta the diagram for clarity.

You can bet dollars to donuts the factory and authorized repair people have a "specialty tool" to deal with it and if it's available to buy, I bet it's $$$$$$.

Take it to your nearest Kubota dealership.

What ever size socket is needed for the nut, weld it to a piece of pipe with enough ID to slide over the shaft, and weld whatever means your want to drive it with to the other end.

Have you been able to remove the snap ring (part #070 on diagram)? If so maybe the housing can be removed from shaft while leaving the nut and bearings on the shaft. Not sure if possible without seeing opposite end of bearing housing.

You may be able to buy that whole part.

I was hoping this wasn't the answer.

I was able to get the snap ring off. The nut has me stuck. The other side is the output shaft. It has a seal, it doesn't come apart from that direction as far as I can tell.

It comes in pieces/parts, I don't think the whole assembly is available. I wouldn't want to spend the money if it was. The shaft and bearing was like $500.

Looking at your pic of the shaft. At the about 4:45 o clock position. Where the drawing shows # 70.

I see a lock tab that has to be tapped out to unlock your assembly.

#70 shows a clip but those drawings vary. You may have a bend tab.


Hope this helps. I may be off base.

After you bend the tab. You should be able to tap the tab and turn it. May be left hand.


I see Highcotton came in. He can fix anything besides giving us beautiful wildlife picture.

What number is that nut in that diagram? What keeps the shaft from pressing out the other direction?

Edit. I think I see now. It’s number 50?
Will the Pto shaft not press out the other way? You should be able to get to the snap ring.

Yes, it's number 50.

Number 70 was a ring, it's out.

It's not pressed into 20? Wouldn't 20 hold all that against the snapring 70?

Then the whole shaft with bearing and nut intact should press out. Snap ring only holds assembly in housing it appears.

Engineers should be required to repair their own designs. Things would be much easier to repair eventually.

If you remove the bolts from 60 the entire assembly should come out. Then you remove the bolt from the back side.

Somewhere in Japan, an engineer is laughing.

Engineers don't laugh, they don't have it in them.

Put "Paging SubMOA" in your title, he's a Kubota man.
