    Cooling Problems

    I agree, it is too much. I'm going to have it pressure/vacuum checked and see if I can find out what the issue is, I'm perplexed! Thanks

    Cooling Problems

    When I was in the military we used to use simple green to clean the helicopters. But found out that simple green was a corrosive on aluminum. That was some time ago, I don't know if Simple Green has changed the formula, but I am wary of it. I do use a cleaner to get that layer of fine dirt found...

    Cooling Problems

    Thanks, I went out and checked all the red clamps, all tight and no signs of coolant around them. The odd thing is that I don't smell coolant and there are no signs of it coming out the overflow hose. Thanks

    Cooling Problems

    Pull out screen and radioator cleaned before and after each use. All clean there. The guage runs at about 3 dots when just driving. When as load is put on it either the brush hog or the under deck mower, the gage starts going up. It stays at 4 dots for a long (about 15 minutes) time, then moves...

    Cooling Problems

    Thanks for the info. The reservoir is 3/4 full when I start, but when it gets hot it is empty. I'll get a new radiator cap. The recall on the reservoir cap has been done, so that should not be an issue with that one.

    Cooling Problems

    The radiator and screen are both clean. I check tose on a regular basis. I changed the thermostat several months ago (with an OEM one), still did not stop the overheating. The guage usually runs about 3 dots. Anytime I engage a implement (doesn't make any difference what it is) the gauge goes up...

    Cooling Problems

    Hey Everyone, I have a 2015 BX25D. When I go to use it to mow etc., It is getting hot, with sometimes 2 dots above the normal 3 on the gage. This last time, I opened the radiator (I always check it before running) and it took about 1 1/2 quarts of coolant. There is no liquid in the oil and all...

    Thanks so much to everyone for their solutions! I think I covered them all. The BX1880 seat does not cross. I used the liquid electrical tape on the holes in the seat to keep the water out of the interior. I checked with Tractorseats.com (good site) but they had no replacement available and I...

    Seat Repair/Replacement

    I let my son borrow the tractor, Kubota BX25DLB, and it survived a hail storm, except for the seat. In looking for a seat replacement, all I can find is a new seat, listed at over $1300.00. The seat is ok, except for the bottom. Does anyone know where I can get just the bottom? It looks like it...
