    Wheel Spacer Question: How Wide?

    I will probably order mine for my B2910 from this place: http://www.motorsport-tech.com/specialss/tractor/kubota_s I can also tell you that I foam filled the front and rear tires on my BX and can’t imagine needing spacers on it for added stability. At least not while the MMM is mounted...

    "Click-click-click" Starter Fix

    I did the same conversion on my BX2200 several years ago. Afterwards I concluded that one could likely use just about any 12 volt relay and accomplish the same result. However, the JD relay is special and will close on voltage as low as something like 8 volts, and stay closed until voltage...

    Differential Lock

    OK, but the only time I want to use the differential lock is when I am stuck, so there is no tractor movement possible. But I suppose the tractor could “think” it was moving as one front and one rear tire spin. I have always engaged the differential lock with a rear tire turning slowly. I...

    BH Bucket cylinder pressure??

    In your other thread on this subject, someone mentioned this being a known problem with that backhoe, and recommended you do a search at TBN to find out the details. Did you bother to take this advice? If you do you may find out what you need to know.

    Newby ? Stuck Quick disconnect

    If all else fails, find a connection along the hose and loosen it a little to release the pressure. You will lose a small amount of fluid, but not much. Separate the coupler, and relighted the connection. Only takes a moment. I occasionally have to do this with my rear remotes, a couple of...

    Has anyone gone to foam-filled front tires on a BX?

    Here are a couple details. A cut and paste of a post made at TBN ten years ago. In case someone might be interested. :) When I got my BX2200 I had the front tires foam filled. I did not weigh them, but walked into the shop with one in each hand, and there was no way I was going to carry them...

    Has anyone gone to foam-filled front tires on a BX?

    I had mine filled by a large tire dealer in a nearby rural area. They have vast experience with agricultural and the complete range of commercial applications. Don’t know what the foam was, other than the samples I saw were blue, and that it could be cured at different pressures to somewhat...

    BX2200 New Guy Questions

    I foam filled the tires on my BX2200 years ago. Front and rear both. That plus the weight of the mower hanging low gives me all the stability I could desire. Foam fills the tires 100 percent and may be the heaviest option. I know they are extremely heavy after filling. Side slopes require me...

    L2501 hst and split brakes

    Wile it does not feel right, I use my right foot on the brake and my left foot on the directional pedal. Works for me when I need to use one rear brake. Your mileage may vary...:)

    Difference between member, apprentice and tech?

    Hi, I checked over the FAQ but could not find an explanation for the different designations for participants here. Is it explained somewhere? If so, please point me at it...I tried...:confused: I know it must be explained somewhere.

    Greasing BX2200 RC60B-22BX Mower Deck

    Hi, Ten or more years ago over at TBN there were some posts about an issue with some of these mower decks coming from the factory under greased, and therefore failures resulting from lack of grease in the spindles. Right or wrong, I came to believe proper greasing involved putting in as much...

    BX1500 Mower Deck. Is there a better, quieter bering set-up?

    If I remember correctly you cannot over grease the spindles. I think the procedures to put in as much grease in as necessary to see grease come out from the spindle cover on the bottom of the deck. There is a hole in it that lets grease out. I know that’s what I do, or did. Once I had that...

    Bora wheel spacers

    I could be interested. Are they steel or aluminum? What is the bolt circle diameter and number of holes? Maybe they would work for my B2910, not sure. Posting that info here could help you sell them. Give me first shot if they will fit mine...:)

    Wheel Spacer Question: How Wide?

    Hummm...I know there are a lot of things Kubota does not recommend, like filling tires possibly. I do greatly respect you input Wolfman! But the backhoe is not all that heavy I don't think. And with backhoe use, the rear tires are often off the ground so stress at that point would not be an...

    Off-road diesel?

    I used to use off road fuel, but soon realized for my consumption rate going the distance I needed to to get it, I was spending in gas close to what I was saving in tax, when getting 20 gallons at a time. Not to mention time... I now get my diesel at the local Sam’s club. 5 minutes away. Clean...
