    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    I had not seen that new redesigned broom for the BX 80 series before, and what I was referring to was the broom that was supplied with the older BX tractors in past years. This new broom is really sweet looking, and it appears that they have clearly taken all of the negatives out of the old...

    Shear Pin Removal Issue

    Did they drill out the broken shear pin or did they drill you a new hole in the auger and shaft? I don't understand how they would need to drill out the old pin, since once located, they are easily knocked out by a thin drift pin and a hammer. I have a straight pin and a 16 ounce ball peen...

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    I own a Kubota BX sweeper, and as much as I like it, it is the least used implement and if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't purchase it at all. It is nice to have, but when you consider the cost to use ratio, it is extremely expensive to own. Also, don't forget that the wheel kit is sold...

    Bx2816 snow blower attachment chute clogging

    Quoting from the BX2816 snow blower manual..... [B] This is how I have been using my BX2750 on my BX22 for the last 15 years. Neither my tractor or my snow blower have ever suffered from being worked at full power. My tractor doesn't have a tachometer, so I have no idea of what the top...

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    When problems arise, I have learned years ago, that if you keep dealing with the person at the bottom of the ladder that makes all the broken promises, it will take forever to resolve the issues. In these cases, I go right to the top person at the organization, which in many cases is the actual...

    BX2816 Snow Blower Question

    Today, I changed the cutting edge, and after comparing my BX2750 blower, with the cutting edge on the top, and the BX2816 where the cutting edge is installed on the bottom, I realized why Kubota made the change. If you use a lot of down pressure on the snow blower, and wear the edge down...

    BX2816 Snow Blower Question

    Today, I picked up a BX2816 snow blower for a friend, and it needs a new cutting edge. On this BX3816 snow blower, the cutting edge is mounted on the top side of the housing. I was looking at the similarities of the BX2816 blower, and my BX2750 snow blower, and noticed that on mine, the...

    Shear Pin Removal Issue

    I have had this happen in the past, and just yesterday, it happened to me again. My solution, while some might think that it is unconventional, is to whack the side of the snow blower where the shaft is, and try again to see if it is in alignment. Yesterday, it was particularly way off, almost...

    Fan

    Buy it from a local dealer, and ask that it come in on the stock order, so there will be no additional shipping expense. Support your local dealer, so you will be a familiar face, should you need a repair that you don't want to do yourself, or need some advise on a repair that you will be doing...

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

    I don't disagree with using Locktite on set screws, but keep in mind, that you need to heat them with a torch when you want to take them out. I have found that setting the set screws is better done with a 3/8" drive socket with the Allen wrench on the end of the socket, and a long ratchet...

    Wanted... BX Wheel Spacers

    I purchased the Jeep spacers for $40, and will give them a try. If I feel that I need to have a wider spacer I will look into the ones recommended. I rather spend $40 initially and move up to the more expensive ones later on if I find I need a thicker spacer. My tractor seems more like a...

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

    I saw this happen once before, with the shaft on a mid mount mower. The collar wasn't fully seated, and it came off the PTO shaft. After seeing that, I have resorted to spraying both the PTO shaft, and the drive shaft collar with Deep Creep penetrating oil, and push the collar all the way on...

    BX2750 Snow Blower Gear Lube

    I forgot to mention that the 80-90W gear lube that I used was GL4, since the GL5 had additives that are reported to have attacked the brass synchronizers in 4 speed gear boxes. I know that the gear box of a snow blower doesn't have synchronizers, but it does have a large and expensive brass...

    BX23s 50 hour service, fuel filter issue

    The last time that I had a diesel fuel "freeze" up was during the Blizzard of 78. After than I always use the white Power Service additive, and make sure that I never introduce water into the fuel system. If you found frozen water in your filter, that means that you introduced it when you...

    BX2750 Snow Blower Gear Lube

    When I last drained my snow blower gear box, I refilled it with 80-90W gear lube. Today, while watching a video about rebuilding snow blower gear box's, the person in the video suggested using "0 0" gear lube. Never heard of it before, but did do a Google search and found out that it is sold...

    Is the Bigtoolrack Worth It?

    It appears on every local Craigslist ad that I seen when searching "Kubota" on Craigslist and nearby locations. Personally, I couldn't see a reason to buy one, and I did read the "glowing" review from one member of these forums. There is one for sale on Craigslist for $699 in Morris CT, pick...
