    What is the idle speed of the BX2370

    When I bought my BX2230 (used ) the idle was set at 800rpm and the air filter mount broke in a week. I welded it up and now I never idle it below 1200-1300rpm and after over four years the air filter mount is unbroken. Those lottle three cylinder engines just vibrate too much at low rpms.

    Does anyone Collect Antique Cars?

    Well, if a 1970 Nova qualifies at an antique, after all it is 52 years old, I have one. First picture is soon after I bought it in 2010. Second is on the rotisserie awaiting a trip to the paint shop.

    In an American court, you have the option to swear on any book or object you hold sacred (you may have to bring your own) or to swear without an object, or to not swear but instead affirm your oath.

    Nothing a liberal application of duct tape and removal of the sunroof fuse wouldn't cure.

    Lowering the idle on a BX23S

    Odd fire V6s are usually based on a V8 block with two cylinders lopped off. But by using split rod journals that have a 30° spread, you can get an even fire V6. Other even fire V6s have a 60° bank angle.

    Lowering the idle on a BX23S

    A six cylinder four stroke engine will generate a power pulse every 120° of rotation. Takes two revolutions to complete a cycle. 720° / 6 = 120°.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    That's what it is. I got the extra one online for $50.

    Gear heads

    Oh sure, they COULD do that, but it would probably be a $2000 option.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I put a new seat on my BX soon after I bought it. Hated the original seat. Bought the seat at Rural King on sale, and found the same seat later online at Rural King and bought another one. Had to make an adapter to mount it, but it is WAY more comfortable than the original seat was. I also put...

    A little whine anyone?

    d) Jackasses driving Jeeps (Wranglers) with off road LED or Xenon lights that friggin' near blind you when you meet them or have to set across from them at a light or stop sign. Indiana has passed a law banning off road headlights from highway use. That will probably be enforced about as often...

    Older BX getting slower....

    Can you elaborate a little on the performance? Does the engine RPM drop when going up an incline, or does the engine speed stay nearly the same, but the tractor slows down? Does the engine smoke when under a load? Does the engine start as easily as it always has? Does it seem like there is any...

    So I take it you're fine with people stealing from these businesses rather than have them take a simple check of the contents of your shopping cart? The losses from theft are not small change and are reflected in the prices of the goods you buy there. But I guess you're okay with that. Also...
