steering boot split on my BX 1870-1

[BX23S-1]

Mine lastest about 100 hours.....

But it is a rare part of Kubota failure in parts.

There are two fixes - on after market and one from Kubota

both will last far longer than the original.

I have not fixed mine - did like triple r mentioned

That ebay kit is top notch quality. I know the person selling this kit... it is spot on.

No offence PaPow, but the kit you show has a "boot" that is a cup shoved up to the side of the the socket, and does ok at keeping out debris and moisture out but it really does not seal the and flex with the joint, and this kit also does not fix the outside boots.
And lets face it, with the cost of the joint do you want a kit that is just OK?

While I hold Wolfman's opinions in great regard, there's lots of other guys that think Tony's boots are top-notch compared to OEM or other alternatives.

Coleman's lists the OEM inner dust boot - P/N# K1253-01660 at $11.47 - guessing for 1 - so $22.94 for a pair plus shipping.

After 4 years, mine are shot. Ordered a set from Tony tonight.

Got pairs of both the inner and outers for $24.95 from Tony, free shipping. (After $10 discount, when available)

Like I said, many guys like the versions Tony sells, and I certainly look forward to seeing them delivered!
