Looks like that bucket was from something else and modified to fit your B670 parts hoe...I assume it will also fit your operating hoe?

John T, Thank you for using my act of stupidity as a sign that I am indeed intelligent! LOL. Being in the elderly generation now, I have long past the need for pats on the back or acceptance. LOL x 2 Lots of things are part of maintenance as defined in the manual. Do we all follow them...

PoTreeBoy, thanks for taking the time to respond. Perhaps the fact that the fuel filter is placed inside the gas tank is a sign that (like you said) gasoline likely has less need for filtering than diesel. I am confused by your thought that the your M7040 primary filter (I assume you have two...

It is the same fluid (same sump, or whatever the right term is) as the tractor transmission uses, so you just check level and add as needed.

Different model maybe. Mine is a BX2200. Also the number they showed was a replacement for the original. Could the one you referenced be new old stock? Maybe just something different because a different model? Glad at the moment I do not need one...

This could be a sign the battery is on its last legs. Just because it is freshly charged does not mean that it offers full cranking amp capacity anymore. Glad you got it going reliable for the moment. You might try putting jumper cables on the battery terminals from another battery/ vehicle...

It is almost certainly a safety interlock issue, or possibly a problem with contacts in the safety circuit developing resistance with age, like is common on some tractors and solved by using an interposing relay between the starter solenoid and the safety circuit. Take the wire off the starter...

Just for educational reasons I suppose if one is so inclined. I got curious and just checked Messicks for the cost of a replacement for my BX2200 if I should need one. $306 plus shipping and tax. If I had the need I would probably get a quote on a rebuild at that price and see what the...

Wow! For $200 that would be a no brainer! AND you could keep the old cylinder and take it apart and learn what is inside...

OR if you do not feel up to rebuilding the cylinder yourself, price a replacement from Kubota, then get a local hydraulic shop to quote a rebuild. The difference for me, on loader curl cylinders, was over $650 each for a new cylinders, and $100 each to have them rebuilt. Granted, these were not...

I was thinking about my cars and trucks over the last couple decades. Fuel injection entirely I think. Probably most of our vehicles use fuel injection these days. I have NEVER changed a fuel filter in one of my vehicles, and do not even know if doing so is recommended by manufacturers. Does...

Always great reading success stories! (y)

Great advice. Booger up your repairs all you like. But do not wright off a good procedure because you think changing a fuel filter without reason is a good reason to ignore a sound procedure. Add to that, I do not recall many checking their fuel filters before or after changing them. Just...

He certainly could. But wouldn’t that just make finding the cause more difficult? Novice question I suppose...

There is a procedure you can try while the cylinders are on the tractor to evaluate how much repair might be needed. This, if it my attempt to add an image works:

Actually those inspection cameras are pretty cheap now. I bought one just to have, and it works real well. Do not remember the price, but being cheap it was not too expensive. It was a "just in case" purchase. I would bet I paid less than $50 delivered, and it has a fairly high resolution...

Good things seem to have worked out for you. BX2200 is a good tractor. Mine is almost 17 years old now. Still running strong...

I know what you mean! But with a lot of experience under my belt now, I have changed my tune and every time possible I just dig around a stump so I can cut it off below ground and not struggle with digging them out. Of course, I am referring to large stumps, 18 inches to 24 inches in diameter...

That is actually really cool and I can see it as a great enhancement. I never felt much of a need for that with my BL4690 backhoe, but it probably would have made life easier sometimes. I like it! Especially EASY on and off!

Your points are well taken, but calling my tractor(s) unmaintained is a stretch, unless by your self admission yours are/were also unmaintained, then perhaps your are correct. I do appreciate your insight though. But in the end, your filters did do the job and you fixed the issue of the tractor...
