    Kubota BX Front Axle Seal?

    I changed both of mine on a BX2200. The dealer said you must use a special tool to insert the new seal. Just did it carefully with a hammer to tap in in and tried to make sure it went in straight. Hasn't leaked since. I don't recall it being very expensive. You can look up the part numbers...

    looking to put a roof on my 3301

    Depending on how handy and / or cheap you are: I took 2 sort pieces of angle and used u-bolts to fasten to the top of the ROPS. I then took 2 4' pieces of 1" tube and welded them to the angle tipping lightly toward the front of the tractor. Then you can just put some plywood on the top and...

    Kubota bx2230 - NO power

    There are a couple of fuses down near the alternator. You should check those too

    Snowblower chute hydraulic motor installation

    I have a 2001 BX2200 and ran into the regen issue. Took years to find out what it was. The price of the 4-way valve was prohibitive. There really isn't a lot of room to add an extra mechanical valve on the BX, so... I went to Surplus Center and bought the solenoid valve and hooked it up after...

    12 vdc gearmotor for a snowblower chute rotater

    You now need a 1/2" u-joint and long extension :) I realize that will ore than double your out of pocket cost! Nice idea though! I'm rethinking mine now

    12 vdc gearmotor for a snowblower chute rotater

    I've had a window motor on mine for years. Don't worry about the stop you probably won't break anything, it'll just stop. I do have to mod mine to keep the ice and snow from building up on the gears as that will also stall my motor.

    12 vdc gearmotor for a snowblower chute rotater

    Wow, the first motor you mentioned draws 40+ amps! You'd have to run some big wire and heavy duty switches / relays. And I think 40 RPM is to slow. Lets say it is 20 turns lock to lock, that means you are sitting in the freezing cold for 30 seconds waiting for it to turn ( I don't have that...

    BX Lights! & Thanks!

    I have a BX2200 which only has a 7 amp alternator normally ( I did opt for the 45 amp one ). But make sure you are not using more electricity than your alternator can supply or it will not charge your battery and may in fact discharge it. Just sayin'

    Made myself a ballast box for my Bx

    Nice job! I made mine out of an old beer keg and have maybe 700# of lead. I made a movers dolly that will fit under the keg when raised so I can just take it off and roll it to storage in the garage. I have to add a hose from the top of the keg going into the cab - should get some people...

    LA211 valve modifications

    Thanks, I checked the specs and you are right. That makes it a little easier. I just made wooden models of both the Wolverine manual valve ($101) and the Surplus Center Eaton-Vickers valve (~$185 with base plate). This will allow me to get an idea of where they might fit and what hoses /...

    LA211 valve modifications

    Yeah, but, mine is an old LA211 that has the 3-way valve so I don't have that extra position. Did some ore research yesterday. Prince Wolverine has a single spool 8 GPM valve for about $100. The cheapest solenoid valve with power beyond is about $300 and it is 13 GPM which is quite a bit...

    LA211 valve modifications

    I looked into the solenoid valve available from Surplus Center. It did not have power beyond and they did not suggest they had any others that would work. They also suggested I do research on the loader valve to ensure that it has power beyond. The plow has a single cylinder - double acting.

    LA211 valve modifications

    Kennyd4110: I thought of a solenoid valve, but a mechanical one is cheaper :) I tried using an electric selector valve, but the roll cylinder spool is a regen circuit and doesn't work nicely when you are not dumping a bucket, but just swinging a plow side to side. North Idaho Wolfman: It...

    LA211 valve modifications

    I have a LA211 with the old 3-way valve made by Husco. I compared the parts list for the 4-way and 3-way and ordered the parts I'd need to convert it. Well, it didn't work. I assume there may be something different about the casting. So I am now going to add another single spool valve after...
