Henro, I already put the thing back together so I can't show the hole in the spindle. The pulley has notches...they look like they would be a keyway but there wasn't any key on the diagram so I didn't know why that was there. But, aligning with the hole in the spindle with the notch in the...

Along the way of learning, I've discovered info that I hadn't seen before. The notch in the bottom of the pulley needs to be lined up with the hole in the spindle. When grease is injected, it comes out the hole and down into the bearing. If the pulley is not put on correctly, the grease...

They say bad pennies turn up again...so perhaps I'm a bad penny since I'm here again. I'm still contemplating my RCKB60-22BX mmm. I've watched a youtube explaining putting new seals into a kubota mower. It wasn't the same model but I would expect the process to be the same. While looking for...

Had to laugh...I've got a 5' SQ Squealer bush hog! Still squealin' after all these years. :) Tractor Gal

A 5' tiller is working well for my gardening. It attaches to my BX23D with no problems. My garden produce is for eating, canning, friends and neighbors...none to sell so that makes a difference. But there's usually enough for everybody. Weeds? Ha! I always give in to weeds by mid-July...

OK, I'm beginning "to see the light." :) Yes, now I see 2 bearings in the diagrams. Because this section of the mower didn't fully come apart, both bearings are currently in place. I can see the one above the deck (when the pulley was off), but the one below the deck on the spindle, I...

You are so good to help, Henro. I'm sure my explanation about things is somewhat lacking. IIRC, it was the nut that held the spindle that was on the deck's top. I didn't find a lock washer and I didn't have one large enough, so I'll have to get one of those...meanwhile, make sure that nut is...

Thanks for sending me back to the diagram but I am still only seeing one bearing ( #020) for each blade. The collar must've still been in the pulley holder since there wasn't anything else there. When I started the mower and heard the sound, I quickly disengaged the mower. Yes, it could've...

OK...I looked at Messick's diagram again...one bearing per blade with 3 blades per 60" mower so a total of 3 bearings required. https://www.messicks.com/ku/86152

Good info here, gentleman, but PoTreeBoy, I didn't buy an aftermarket kit...I bought seals from Messick's. I haven't bought the bearings. But, after seeing Henro's info, I'm giving it some thought. The other thing...I didn't know there were 2 bearings. The whole mechanism containing the...

Thanks, DustyRusty...when I got the new parts, I did take that spindle and pulley off again and looked. Couldn't find a spot for the cir-clip so I just went on. Since this is probably a 2004 mower, it may be one of the first and without the clips. You had a good idea about replacing the...

Helps a lot, Henro. Two seals? Maybe the one on the bottom is still in place on my mower. Anyway, I did order 2 seals just in case another of those went bad! Thanks a lot. I'll be fixing that when the new parts come and won't need to mow prior. Hopefully, operating without the seal on top...

I have a 2004 Kubota BX23 that came with a 60" MMM. I've had this since 2020 with no issues. Yesterday, when I engaged the mower, I heard all kinds of racket so of course I quickly turned everything off to figure out what in the world was happening. The mower blade, pulley and parts on the...

Several questions came to mind. What would you be paying for all of this, how mechanical are you, is the part you need available, do you have the time and tools to do this kind of job. Another thing...would JB Weld do the trick? Tractor Gal

Sounds like you're both top of the line!

Any chance that the guy didn't know the $100 bill was a fake? If he knew, he might have tried to use more of them! My thoughts are related to the fact that in the other areas, he did what he said he would do. You could've been waiting for him and he never showed. But, I tend to think the...

Maybe the classifieds on this site would be a good place. People here know and love their orange machines! Tractor Gal

Just saw that you contacted them and they are making things good again!

That is strange, dvto2. I bought the Bxpanded forks, too, and have not had any problems with the clips releasing. In fact, they are so tight that if I need to move them to adjust for the width of a load, it takes some doing. Therefore, I leave them where they are! Sorry that I don't have an...

OK...last try. This group says they have parts for all kinds of mowers, including Kubota. A call to them may produce something. Scroll down to see all that they carry...
