    Leaking FEL cylinders - clean or replace seals?

    Where do you purchase your spanner wrenches? I have a couple of older ones manufactured in the USA by Williams. Please don't tell me you buy your tools at Horror Fright!

    BX24 winter cab build

    Will it be ready for the first snowstorm? Sure hope that you have this well planned because if I were doing it, it would be ready for the July 4th parade, in 2024.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I looked at it and wondered where I left the key to start it. Guess it will spend the night outside.

    Daily Chuckle

    While riding my Harley, I swerved to avoid hitting a deer, lost control and landed in a ditch, severely banging my head. Dazed and confused, I crawled out of the ditch to the edge of the road when a shiny new convertible pulled up with a very beautiful woman who asked, "Are you okay? As I...

    One hydraulic coupler from my snowblower.....

    Is this a flat-faced coupler or a pioneer coupler? The reason that I asked, is that I have had problems with both types when the weather changes and there is residual pressure in the lines of the snowblower or whatever appliance you are trying to attach. There was a thread on these forums a...

    Hydraulic Chute rotation

    I built one about 15 years ago when I got my BX22. I used a hydraulic motor and some restrictors to control the flow so I wouldn't wreck the turning mechanism but I did destroy a couple before I got it perfected. If your snowblower is set up for the Kubota hydraulic motor, I would just bite...

    I think I got scammed.....

    This morning I was rummaging through Facebook Marketplace, and see a lot of people selling the stamps. I was thinking that if counterfeits were that much of a problem for the USPS, that they would be going after all these sellers. I remember when I had my stamp collection of hundreds of US...

    B2782B snowblower coupling change to 90° help

    If you can take the coupling to a hydraulic store, they can fix you up with the proper right angle fitting to do what you are wanting. Without knowing the size and type of thread that the coupling is, it is difficult for me to help you any further. Pictured is a 3/8 JIC by 1/4" female NPT...

    L2185 ~ 72" Front Snow Thrower, Mid PTO kit, and Sub-Frame (Complete, everything needed)

    If you just are in need of manuals, your Kubota dealer can download the PDF and print them. If you bring a memory stick to the dealer, they can download the PDF to your memory stick, and you can print them out from there.

    Installing a BX2618 Snowblower on a BX23S

    Here are the pictures. The hoses on the left side will need to be repositioned and properly installed, once I get the right angle fittings. In the last picture, can anyone tell me why there is a blank hole behind the loader joystick. .

    Oil spray by FEL hookups BX23

    Yesterday when I removed my loader, I noticed some debris on the coupler lower plate. I wiped it down with a rag, and some I couldn't get it all off. A quick spray of brake cleaner, and after a second wiping it looked like it had never been used. I also wiped down all the couplers on the...

    Bucket hook installation tips

    Start with a small hole after you mark the location with a pointed object and hit it with a hammer. Then start small, and go up gradually. Goes faster than trying to push through with one large bit. Two hooks give you more choices of where and how you want to lift. On a bulky item, you might...

    Craigslist comes through again with a snow blower and a 3-point receiver.

    I have heard about this being done, and I would love to explore the possibility of doing that to my blower. Can you supply some pictures and an explanation of how you cut the material and what you used to install it in the chute? Thanks, Dusty

    Installing a BX2618 Snowblower on a BX23S

    Oh, where should I start? I removed the loader on the BX23S, and everything went well. Installed the K connect to the tractor, and then installed the snowblower assuming that everything was going well. Then I realized that there was no way that I could get all 4 hoses through the loops that...

    New BX23S Owner-Spring Cleaning Implement recommendations

    I would go with the LandPride grapple for only one reason. LandPride is a division of Kubota, and it is designed for the capabilities of your BX23S tractor. Keep in mind that the pictures of tractors lifting logs on this thread are not BX tractors. The BX only has about 500 pounds capacity to...

    Snowblowing w/ turf tires - chains needed?

    Today I was installing my BX 2816 snowblower for the first time. In the past I used the BX 22 with turf tires, and looking at everything on the tractor to become more familiar with it, I looked at the turf tires and their relationship to the loader valve lines, etc. What I realized is that...
