    Early BX 22/2200/1800 LED Headlamp

    MY BX22 has an incandescent glass 2 filament headlamp bulb, as pictured below. After a lot of searching, I have found this inexpensive LED replacement. It can take as much as 2 months to arrive from China, and I will let you know how bright they are. If you search eBay for " H4 Hb2 9003 Bulb...

    Hydro Trans Leak again..,.

    Tell this to the dealer, and ask him for a loaner that your snow blower or blade will fit on, so you don't incur extra expense having to hire out for snow removal. Ask a lot, get a little... don't ask, you get nothing!

    Bx2816 snow blower attachment chute clogging

    I purchased 2 cans at the $2.97 price today at Walmart in Worcester MA. I checked a bunch of other stores that I knew that I would be going by on my way into the city today, and Worcester was the only one with inventory.. They had 4 cans in stock. If I didn't have to make the trip into the...

    What fuel to use

    I say save your money, and only purchase one for both fuels. If you are wiping it out, I doubt that there would be enough residue of fuel to effect anything in either your gasoline or diesel engine. If you care about keeping your filters clean between usages, then put them into a plastic bag...

    Metric or USS on a BX22

    Took a bolt out tonight, and tried a USS 1/2-20 nut and it threaded onto the bolt. I am working on getting some "Jeep" spacers mounted, and have run into a few things that I need to work out before mounting them. I will probably follow up with a new thread to keep things concise and easily...

    Metric or USS on a BX22

    Are the wheel bolts on the BX22 (1800/2200) metric threads or are they USS fine threads? I know that the BX22 was manufactured in the USA, but I don't know if it is a mixture of US and Japanese parts. If they are metric, do you know the exact size? thanks

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    Email a link to each of those Kubota v.p.'s etc., a link to this thread. That will get their attention quickly. No company wants bad publicity like this, and they will most likely register, and tell everyone how they are going to make it right. If they don't, this will become a blemish on the...

    Hydro Trans Leak again..,.

    Since it was a warrantee repair the last time, the tractor should be repaired again under the warranty. If the dealer tried to charge you for a warranty repair, the dealer is a slime ball, and shouldn't be trusted. I would consider taking it to another dealer, and also contact Kubota for...

    12v DC non contact wire tester?

    I have yet to find one of these no contact electrical detectors that will work on 12 volts DC. Mine will work on the higher DC voltages, but not on 12. Does this unit detect 12 volts DC current? I use this when I need to get "into the weeds" to find the problem...

    really $$

    On eBay, if you have a sellers store, and you are out of something, you just increase the number of units, and then put a ridiculously high price on the item until it comes back in stock. That way, you don't have to create another auction or buy it now listing. eBay charges sellers about 5...

    Disappointed with dealer/Kubota

    Sometimes heavy demand for a product can outstrip current inventory in a local warehouse, and it has to be shipped in from another warehouse further away. It can also mean that they have to go back to the manufacturer and order additional inventory, and the manufacturer has to schedule...

    Bx2816 sheer pin

    It is important to use the correct shear bolt, because if whatever you hit doesn't break the shear bolt, because you replaced it with standard hardware, something else is going to take the brunt of that hit. Many times, it is the gear box, and that damage can cost hundreds of dollars to repair...

    Need snow blower part number for BX23S

    I need the guides that the snow blower hydraulic hoses go through on the way to the couplers. These guides look like big springs and mount on the right side frame rail. I have searched for this part on the Messicks website to no avail. Possibly someone here will have the part number. Thanks...

    Wanted... BX Wheel Spacers

    The Amazon spacers arrived on Friday, and I attempted to put them on today, however, the original bolts that hold the wheel onto the axle hub have a head that doesn't allow me to get a socket into the recess to tighten them. How did you attach the spacers to your axle hub? I am wondering, do...

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    Looking at the pictures again, I realized why the rust on the seat brackets. They are powder coated, and if there is the slightest chip in powder coat, the water will get under the powder coat and rust, lifting the powder coat off as it rusts. This doesn't happen in a month or two, but over an...

    Blew front PTO seal and PTO extension came flying off BX2751 quick connect

    Contact your dealer, and see what they can do to getting you the missing parts quickly. I know that MB Tractor in NH has a good inventory of parts, and they have quite a few locations, so if one store doesn't have what you need, possibly another store does. I have sent you a PM with...

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    Looks like they installed a new hour meter into a used tractor and called it a new tractor, hoping that no one wouldn't know the difference. Like I said "looks like", not saying that is what was done or that your dealer is dishonest.

    Tractor won’t shut off!

    When you pulled the kill switch, that probably has to be reset to allow the tractor to have electrical power restored to the dash. If it wouldn't shut off with the key, probably the fuel shut down solenoid has failed or the wire has fallen off of it. I am not familiar with your tractor, but...

    Bx2816 snow blower attachment chute clogging

    My thoughts are that it is a "safety" device, to keep you from putting your hand into the chute area to clear it. Should the chute and impeller get clogged with slush, it is possible that the impeller could turn suddenly when the clog was released, and if your hand / fingers are anywhere near...
