Many years ago, when I purchased a front end loader for my BX 2200, I remember there was a sticker on the top edge of the bucket. It reminded me of a bar code - a series of black lines. I think I pealed it off, thinking it was a bar code. Over the years, I've noticed the same type sticker on...

Yes you did and THANK YOU. I reposted the question on two forums hoping to find someone who was familiar with the BX2200 issue. Thank you again.

I can't find the SHUT-OFF SOLENOID TIMER RELAY on my BX2200. Yes - I know what it looks like, and yes, I looked on the bulkhead under the dash next to the "blinker" relay where it's supposed to be. I also looked everywhere under the dash and everywhere on the bulkhead, under the dash and on the...

The starter on my 2001 BX2200 has been acting up for the past few months. After checking various possible causes for the "click-click-click-click-click-start" I concluded I had a dead spot on the commutator or armature. Kubota wants an inexcusable amount for a starter, so I took it to a local...

VICTORY - AT LAST The hydraulic leak was getting pretty serious... had to add 10 to 12 ounces every time I mowed my 2.5 acres. The only thing left to check out was the HST pump. I began my tear down at 9:15 am and finally could get to the pump bolts at 5 pm. The next morning I removed the pump...

Yes, I looked everywhere, including the axles. My drip ends up on the bottom of the pump housing near the front. Thats why I originally replaced the input shaff seal, the mid PTO output seal and front drive output seal. As for the return line that the Service Manager suggested, , lots of work...

Yes, I added dye, but couldn't see the source.

I'm crossing fingers and anything else I can cross... I was able to ask the Service Manager at the local Kubota dealer if he had any educated guesses where my leak was coming from. Without even taking a breath, he asked if I keep it in an outbuilding, which I do. He then confidently said mice...

My 2001 BX2200 has developed a leaky transaxle. I just CANNOT find the source of the leak and I'm about out of patience. The cooling fan tends to spread it around which isn't helping. I've replaced the input shaft seal, front drive output seal and front PTO drive seal. All bolts are tight...

My wife finally took pity on me mowing in hot weather and bought me a hard canopy for my BX2200 for Father's Dah. Ahhh, relief from the sun. However, the added hard surface is reflecting the engine and deck noise! Anyone ever tried to dampen reflected noise? Jegs has a couple very expensive...

They've been working with PTO horsepower using a dyno. At least Kubota stepped up and did what was needed to resolve the problem. Too bad it took nearly 11 weeks.

MY BAD...I noticed it's a 5740 when I stopped by his shop.:o

UPDATE: A memo to a well placed Kubota manager demanding proper repair, replacement, or refund resulted in the dispatch of a top Kubota tech to the dealer. Two days later, the engine was producing 54 HP and needed to be "backed down" to 50 rated! Shimming the injector pump and an "undisclosed"...

The moves were made because previous dealers each claimed it was fixed, but it wasn't. The original tech said, "I replaced the air filter. It's fixed." The dealer who currently has it is an experienced AG repair facility and those who couldn't find the problem recommended him be ause of the...
