    Why No Seat Belt Interlock?

    I am not disputing anything said, but wonder if you sell the tractor "as is" with "no warranty offered or implied," if not having labels is really a concern. The stickers could have fallen off over time. Claim could be that the manufacturer used poor adhesive for a tractor that may spend its...

    kx040-4 Excavator DPF

    Just a question, that may help the OP as well... I just bought an old but hopefully still functional and reliable mini EX. A KX41-2V. When using the backhoe on my B2910, I NEVER ran the engine full out, but mostly around 15-1800 RPM. Just felt right for me. With this excavator, should I be...

    Thanks! I will file that in my memory banks. Was not apparent to me when I looks at the Messicks site...

    BX Hydraulics

    I follow the schedule shown in the owners manual...for the most part. Covers most everything. It’s based on hours of use, not linear time.

    I know how the circuit on my BX works, the pull in coil is activated by the current that flows through the starter solenoid when that same current activates the solenoid, which causes the starter to turn. The hold coil is energized when the key is in the on position (And also in the start...

    Want to buy ROPS for a BX25...any sources?

    You might try calling the parts guys at a dealer of your choice to get an answer. Sure seems like there should be a part number for what you need, and some availability as it is a safety item. Certainly agree you really should get the ROPS functional again.

    excavator

    So we may have the source of the OP's issue, but that does not make sense as his excavator runs after he jumps it at the starter...so his may be entirely different. My BX would not run or even try to start with the fuel solenoid unplugged. With it plugged in it would start and immediately stop...

    L4060 -Brake lights

    But isn't the second filament already used for flashers, as mentioned above? My tractors use the dual bulbs for flashers and turn signals as best I remember...do not use them much in winter, except the larger one for snow plowing, which I always hope these days is not that often...

    excavator

    I was going to post this question separately but I thought it might be of some use to the OP, so I’ll post it here. I looked at the electrical drawing for my KX41-2V. In my case the battery voltage comes off the starter and through an in-line fuse as described by Wolfman in his previous post...

    No, thin blood I guess. Waiting until spring and warmer weather, unless a reason comes up. Age breeds patience I suppose. 😀

    BX23 purchased 2003

    Looks like that cylinder is used on around 35 different BX versions, but not on the BX 2200 (or BX1800, BX22? ) At Messicks the BX2200 steering cylinder is listed at $307.69. Part number K2511-16500 Just for future reference if anyone needs this info. Wonder what the difference is?

    Thanks Wolfman!

    excavator

    Just a quick question. That seems so strange to me that there would be no safety interlocks, and a direct connection directly to the starter from the switch. Wolfman, is this normal on excavators? Just seems dangerous... I just bought a used mini ex and will have to see how it is wired up...

    Ran tractor out of oil, need to pull the engine

    My thoughts too! Except I was thinking a couple cases of good beer... ... plus the pie! ;)

    kx040-4 Excavator DPF

    The question I was going to ask was about regen RPM. I thought from reading various posts related to tractors, that once a regen cycle starts one must keep RPM high until the cycle finishes. The reason being that particulates need to be burned off in the DPF. Higher rpm equates to more heat in...

    BX23 purchased 2003

    Sounds like you have a great dealer. Do not have a clue about how part numbers and physical dimensions change. I think I remember that the steering cylinder that came up at Messicks for my BX2200 was a replacement for the original. I too would have expected that BXs would share parts pretty...

    BX2200 Flywheel dilemma

    I do not know the answer...but since I also have a BX2200, I am really curious about this. I have a work shop manual, which I should dig out and see if it mentions anything. No time today though... Come to think of it, I believe that kubotabooks.com has a BX22 work shop manual you can...

    kx040-4 Excavator DPF

    I believe the DPF self cleans during the regen cycle. I also believe you do not take it out to be cleaned, but rather to replace it. You probably should get a manual for the excavator if you do not have one. My Kubota engines are older so no DPF. I am sure someone here with actual knowledge...
