Dipstick
Take the soft cover off, the drive shaft out and put the seal back in. Then install the fix kit from kubota. Its a common problem.
how do I check oil in the rear end of a 3600 ford tractor
Right next to where to PTO shaft comes out of the back of the tractor there is a sight glass for the hydraulic fluid.
It should have eithert a view port or a dip stick style level indicator on hydraulic reservoir
plug in side of tran or dipsteck
if the foot pedal is operated with the tractor off, the hydraulic fluid can leak back out of the power steering pump. work the wheel back and forth for a minute or two to get fluid back into the steering box. also, check the hydraulic fluid level.AnswerThere is a brass connector between the hydraulic pump and the PS pump. This connector may have broken. or the end of shaft may have broken. This was the case with my L2250 DT
dip stick check it

1 - Check the hydraulic pump. Shaft. Rubber gasket. Bearing. 2 - Check the oil pipes. Junction. 3 - Hydraulic cylinder and piston check. Oil leakage. Leverage.
This tractor sounds like a great one and seems to have very few disadvantages. You will probably find that it's as good or better than your current tractor. Check out this review: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/125766-l3240-65-hour-review.html
Looking at the rear of the tractor you will see two bolts above the center link bar on the rear axle. These are the filler plugs for your hydraulic and rear axle. Look under the driver side of your seat, there is a dipstick to check the hydraulic, differential, and wet-brake fluid levels.
