    The mouse mystery.

    This morning I found a dead mouse floating in the toilet. I have no idea how it got there and I have not seen any mouse droppings anywhere in the house. I can't even understand how it could have climbed up the side of the toilet, and if it were to leap from the tub surround, it would have to...

    New to me BX23

    Just to be clear, you have a BX23S which is a world away from a BX23 which was manufactured in the early 2000s. Make sure you bring a picture of the tractor VIN with you when picking up supplies from your local Kubota dealer. Filters from the dealer don't cost any more, and keep your Kubota...

    Reconnecting loader hydraulic lines

    Break the hope open at the coupling and relieve the pressure in the hoses. Works every time.

    Overheated

    Did you clean the radiator both on the outside and the inside? Just because the coolant is clean-looking doesn't mean that the block doesn't have rust inside the passages that are preventing proper cooling.

    How did we manage to reach adulthood?

    When I was in my 20s I was working construction when I wasn't in school. The ironworkers challenged me to walk across a steel beam. They taught me how with a beam placed on the ground. After some practice, they took me up to the first level and said don't look down, and remember what you were...

    Snow Combo

    A lot depends on the broom that you purchase. The ones that were sold when that tractor was new left a lot to be desired. They are heavy and difficult to get the balance correct. If you are getting the broom at a steal then I can give you some suggestions on how to modify it to work better...

    Hydraulic Flow Restrictors

    I like the price but to purchase 2 quarter-inch valves is $13.00, but the least expensive shipping for what most likely weighs about 6 ounces is USPS flat rate of $15.50 puts it out of the budget. Have you ever considered USPS first-class mail for small light items?

    Leaf Time

    I am of the camp that believes that G-d put them there for a purpose, and when the time to take them away he will take care of that too. I used to either rake or mulch the leaves, but that was when I was much younger. When I lived in the city I had a large tree that was on my side of the fence...

    B9200 broken trans case

    Cast iron is extremely difficult to weld, and I have heard of some new epoxy glues that some have used with good results, however, I know that people never talk about the failures usually. As for transferring the internals, you will need to know how to set up the gears, which will require...

    looking for some help, trying to find a bucket for my BH70 backhoe

    Also, look on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. I found a new never-used trenching bucket for my BX for $100 last fall. I didn't have a use for it, but couldn't pass it up at that price. I have found a lot of tractor items on Marketplace, sometimes reasonable and other times not.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Put down a 1/2 ton of lime, and then spent an hour hosing the tractor off and cleaning the drop spreader. This morning after the tractor dried, I could see a few spots that I had missed. I shouldn't have put the pressure washer away so early, but it is too heavy for me to carry down to the...

    No crank BX 23D

    If the new relay is supplying more amps than the old one, it definitely will have that effect on the starter. Just like a weak battery will spin the starter, but not fast enough to start the engine.

    B9200 broken trans case

    No question about it, you need a new case or a used assembly. I think that you will be better off with the used assembly because you will need a lot of new parts to put that back together with a new case.

    Kubota BX 25 Wheel spacers, Would either of these work? Bore size confusion.

    What were your other tractors? None of the inexpensive spacers are hole-centric, so either break out the big bucks for the custom-made spacers or make do with the car spacers. Both will work just as well. If you want more stability, then add 3" spacers, but that is the max. The next step...

    2012 BX 25 Looking for the upper ROPS bar.

    That sounds like something someone who works for an insurance company would think of.

    I need a better step up to my BX backhoe platform

    I reach the operator's levers and pull them one at a time to put the stabilizers down when I am not on the machine.

    The cost of getting old

    I found a local garage door guy that fixed the same problem as you had, and he charged me $100 to fix it. Found him on a local website called Nextdoor. https://nextdoor.com/
