THANK YOU! That is an awesome tip. I love videos that are short, to the point and get the job done. I figured it had to be something simple but I just couldn't see how to do it. Now I know.

This is the best picture I can get of the metal collar that covers the ring. A dental pick might be able to get in there if I could get enough pressure to pull one end out. There must be an easier way ...

I found a new/used starter motor for my BX2200 that has a problem with the selenoid. The new one doesn't have the gear on the end so I was in the process of changing it when I couldn't get the gear off the arm of the old one. Mine has a metal collar that has a ring inside it. You can't just...

OK finally got a chance to go through this. When I put tractor in 4wd, I get exactly the same response as not in 4wd. I started the engine and made sure everything was correct, same result. Anyway, it appears that the sloppiness is in the differential gear assembly. It could also be the u...

Thanks for the help. I will try that tomorrow if the weather is decent. :)

Thanks, I'll try spinning the wheels and see. I know the u joints on the shaft are suspect. They turn fine by hand but the front end is also fine on low speed. It's anything above low speed with a load on it that becomes a problem. I'll look at the schematic and see what's inside the axle.

I've got an older BX2200 with a lot of hours and the front axle is vibrating, rumbling when it's on 4x4. I've been using it a lot with snow plowing this year and it's definitely getting worse. Fluids are good. Looking for a quick (if any) way to diagnose exactly what the problem and solution...

I'm not totally understanding what this means. I think you are saying that to go right, you use both the left plus the left valves. That is possible. On the other posts, either I'm not writing things out clearly or people are not reading everything. If I reverse hydraulic lines to the left and...

Thanks for the replies. I did swap the lines and the problem is reversed so it's definitely on the wiring or the valves. BUT I bench tested all the solenoids and all the valves and all are OK. They all move with current and appear very clean. No time to spend on it today. We had almost a foot...

Thanks for the replies. I bench tested all of the coils and valves and one seemed to be a bit wonky so I bought both parts new and it made no difference.:( So, I switched hoses today and the blade easily swings in the opposite direction with no problem.:confused: I removed both lines and when...

It's an electric switch controller, not hydraulic. So it goes left, off, right.

I bought a used L2061B snowblade for my old BX2200. It has obviously been remade at least once to fit various tractors and it included a power hydraulic pack which is need for my BX, since there is no auxiliary hydraulics on it and this would be so much easier for me. All the cylinders worked on...

I had a tree branch fall on my hood. Some idiot had a tree fall in the wrong direction.:o I checked out the prices and flipped. I just removed the hood and run it with the hood missing. Looks like sh#t but nobody ever steals a Kubota that looks like it's on it's last hour. If you were selling...

Thanks so much for the help. I finally found the problem and you were right, it was a fuse but not sure if it was the same one you mentioned. What confounded the problem is that the fuel cut-off had been removed as well as the timer delay. As I said, this Kubota was in bad shape and the old...

I bought a badly abused BX2200 and slowly getting everything back in working condition. Everything necessary to mow and use the pto was working and i am finally changing the wiring harness as it was badly ripped apart and the lights and guages were not working. I hooked everything back up on...
