    Grab Handle, Cup Holder, and Lever Guide on BX25D Aft Attachment Stripped

    Both of my Grab Handles on my BX25D have the bolts stripped out from the handle portion. The dog gone things are $114 bucks a piece! Does anyone have a fix that might work instead of getting new ones?

    Mid pto failure to drop

    As far as I know, no. I don't have the deck installed yet. I was trying to, but the arms for the deck won't come down. the tractor has never had the mid PTO in use. Could it be the linkage is sealed? If so, how do I get it unstuck?

    Mid pto failure to drop

    Trying to install my newly purchased 60" mower deck onto my Kubota BX25D, I'm unable to get the pto arms to lower. I've done all the obvious trouble shooting, like making sure the height adjustment is not on "TOP", pto up down lever is fully down, but I still can't get them to move. The rear pto...
