    BH92 Backhoe Leaking on MX5400

    I had leak in BH92 after 5 hours of use when new. It was the 90 degree fittings underneath the pivot, sprayed fluid in tiny droplets everywhere and left large amount underneath - killing grass. Here's a pic from underneath. Dealer sent tech out and he tightened up and added gallon (of my)...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Installed my strobe brackets from Paul Short. Still thinking how I want to wire into hazard lights. I did some calculating using some assumptions to make sure the circuit could handle the additional load. https://www.specialtyrepairscustommods.com/

    Things you wish they had told you

    Don't have the 2501 but I'm still under the 50-hour break in also. Been operating the RPM's at about 2100 for BH work and had 1st regen last week and it required I bump the throttle over 2400 for the 15 minutes it took. I think 540 PTO is 2450 RPM's anyway so the 150 RPM's over that seems...

    Bucket type

    Not using a skid steer bucket but I did upgrade to the HD tractor bucket with bolt on cutting bar...best money I spent so far. It is only about 60 lbs. heavier than the regular bucket but as much abuse as we put on buckets it seems to take it so far.

    LA525 loader on L2501 control linkage lubrication question

    Ditto on my owners manual. I'm not dismantling interior materials to look either. Maybe a holdover from earlier days or if there is mechanical linkage 🤔

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Got my strobe brackets today from Paul and Kathy Short. I needed a bracket that wouldn’t raise my height and Kathy sent me all the links to their products including what I needed. Then she found me a link to strobes that would ship in U.S. I can’t say enough about their help. Paul answered all...

    BX23S backhoe noise - hydraulic or mechanical

    I think others here have way more knowledge than I maybe when you remove the zerk you'll be able to tell if something is blocking grease? Sorry not much help from here.

    BX23S backhoe noise - hydraulic or mechanical

    I hear it I think at the beginning of the dipper stroke. Can someone else safely get near enough to it to hear if it's coming from the cylinder? Do you happen to have any electronic shooting earmuffs? They amplify sound in ambient mode and you might be able to pinpoint it better.

    New to diesel -- what don't I know?

    I agree.....I store my diesel (yellow) containers near tractor and my gasoline (red) are on the other side of garage on a lower shelf out of view. Had the wife label the yellow ones DIESEL too.

    BH 92 Boom Lock Adjustment?

    Sent pics to dealer and he said he thinks the boom lock was not welded right at factory, maybe in the jig? He's sending me a new boom lock. I'll post when I get that installed so anyone interested will know what the problem is.

    BX23S backhoe noise - hydraulic or mechanical

    Happened to my BH92 and I think it was the pivot pin. The dealer said that's what it sounded like. I greased everything real good and it eventually went away. I thought it was maybe air in hydraulic line as I did have a leaking hose and had to add fluid. Here's link to the video. BH92 squealing

    BH 92 Boom Lock Adjustment?

    New BH92 and I've noticed that one of the boom lock arms is rubbing against the boom with plenty of play on the other side. I've tried a light tap with dead-blow hammer and I played around with swing a little to see if that helped. I checked the boom lock for square and it is not pinched at the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Had some old HF (Pittsburg) car dollies sitting around so am making a dolly for bucket. Being a carpenter I have plenty of wood so hope the 2x4’s can handle it. Dollies are taking the weight anyway. Removed those bolt acorns as they always pop off anyways. Made sure casters were tight...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Started removing a section of Sumac with BH and mechanical thumb. Lots slower than a piranha bar but gives me more time before I have to go back to the “honey do” list.
