    Can't remove flat tire on my BX23S

    Fire to seat beads.....reminds me how stupid I was installing suicide rim locks without a cage in my early days. I think that old shop still has the license plates RTV patch on the roof(18 roof ceilings) that the lock ring made when it slipped out while trying to seal. Second on removing valve...

    Can't remove flat tire on my BX23S

    The jack handle always comes in handy as a cheater pipe(just make sure you can reinstall the handle as some are spring loaded). Also when trying to air the tire up, is the tire off the ground, and does it appear the bead of the tire is on the rim(both sides). And remember six point sockets are...

    LX2610 Bucket Size, Too Large

    The 2 bucket sizes for the LX2610 is a 54 inch bucket and a light duty 60 inch bucket. I thought I ordered the 60 inch bucket when I ordered the tractor but am very happy with the abusive that the 54 inch bucket has endured(not sure the light duty bucket would have endured the abuse). With a...

    What grease are you all using?

    Second on the Lucas grease. Although I also don't use a hand pump(Milwaukee M18). Always wondered if Lucas grease is the same company that made electrical(Lucas the prince of darkness) parts for MG?

    Removing 17mm Threaded Freeze Plug from Kubota M8200

    Have no experience with Kubota coolant drain plugs, but the VW's, John Deere's, Chevrolet's, GMC's, and Nissan's diesel engine plugs have been F*!king tight. I would not use an impact wrench on it. I would try a rust penetrate( I use Kriol) over a few days and a longer cheater pipe. Also wear...

    Kubota B 2320 won't start with key

    It is possible as the heat in the starter maybe causing a connection issue, but, before I replace the starter I would wire a 12 volt(194 bulb) bulb to the small post(at starter) and ground(battery negative). When it wont start verify the bulb is bright. If bright-starter, if not...

    R14 vs r1

    I have the R14T on my LX2610 and have yet(not for lack of trying)got it stuck. I went with the smaller size as I have a mid mount mower and it is used on hills, so, the smaller tire helps with the center of gravity being lower. I take the tractor in snow, mud, sand, lawn, and gravel.

    Idling

    Shut it off, as the DPF needs to be hot to operate properly. I have researched this issue a lot before buying my LX2610 as I wanted a little more horsepower, but this will be my last tractor(maybe) and did not want this emission issues down the road. Researched this and even my brother bought a...

    Undercarriage lift arm falls off the hydraulic arm

    If I remember correctly on my BX2370 it had a bracket that rotated down and attached to the rear mower attachment point(silver pin with the spring on it). Also what kind of pin is/was installed their? IIRC my had a circular key type ring. Not to be condescending have you read all the manuals...

    Undercarriage lift arm falls off the hydraulic arm

    Pictures would be very helpful as there are several pins. Are you talking the pins at the front? Also I believe you are suppose to lock the lift up when to MMM not installed(or do not want movement).

    M4-071 Exhaust manifold discoloration

    I agree with Wolfman completely normal. On a side note, had a turbocharger Malibu with a catalytic convertor failure (plugged) cold engine start within 3 minutes of running turbo and exhaust manifold glowing red hot(no night needed) and would only rev to about 1500 RPM's(tried this a couple...

    Kubota B 2320 won't start with key

    I would follow the wires from switch to starter. Unplug and inspect any connectors as it sounds like high resistance on the starter circuit. By jumping at starter(big post to small post right?) proves battery good and grounds are also good.

    BX2670 dash gauges out.

    If I remember correctly I had my instrument cluster replaced for no charge by Kubota. I was 3 months out of warranty, but its a known issue, therefore the dealership was able to get Kubota to goodwill the repairs. Kubota had to realized they made a major mistake by not making an instrument...

    Kubota K-connect attachments

    Does anyone know if all K connect attachments are interchangeable? As in the snow plow(snow blower or a brush) for a BX fitting onto a LX or RTV? Also can you buy just attachment side bracket assembly separately?
