I took delivery of my BX 2680 over the holidays. I mowed the lawn on Monday, in January, I know. One reason for the Kubota is the 4x4. I have a steep drop from the house to the bottom of the front lawn. On my old tractor the loader frame acted as a foot rest going down the hill. Basically I...

Sorry did not see this until today. Nope, tried all kinds of things. Thiss and a host of other problems convinced me to just replace it. I bought a new BX2680 just before Christmas. Plan on moving this one along this spring.

FYI I use the tractor to launch and recover my inflatable RHIB. I used a hitch on my 1500s quick hitch. Thanks for the advice.

I did a search and did not find this. So on Christmas Eve I had my BX2680 delivered. It is replacing my 20 yo BX 1500. I ordered it with the Quick attach system for the front loader. My 1500 has welded on hooks and I am wondering if there is a recommended set of bolt on hooks preferably with...

Sorry yes it is taken off once a year to service but otherwise it’s on 363 days per year for the las 20 years. This time it would not lower.

It’s over 20 years old and has had the dec on it over the winter that entire time. It was bound to eventually have a problem. The part that has corroded stays on the tractor even if you take off the deck. It doesn’t really snow here a thus don’t use salt. It does rain a lot though.

I soaked it overnight and no dice, rusted solid. Too bad it didn’t have zerks to grease to prevent. Looks like I’m replacing the shaft and bushings.

I found the problem. The lift shaft on the right side of the tractor has rusted to the frame bushing.

No I checked, the pawl on the shaft is not touching the cam and is lined up with the deepest notch. I am contemplating dis assembly of the whole assembly. There are no grease zerks on the end of the shafts. I’m leaning towards corrrosion.

I have a BX 1500 and today went to drop the mower deck to sharpen the blades. I turned the height wheel to 0. Lowered the 3point. However the mower deck only moved a couple of inches. After fussing around I got the deck off the tractor.Not sure how I’m going to get it back on. Looking at the 3...

I have need to replace the PTO safety switch PN K1122-62250 listed as 070 on the diagram. This is on my 20 YO BX1500D. I know where it is I just can’t see how to access the fasteners. Is there a procedure for how to do this somewhere? Is it necessary to remove the step and seat to access this?
