You have two black knobs to deal with. The deck height on the left and the flow valve on the right. Make sure the flow valve is open to allow the deck and 3pt hitch to travel up & down.
As mentioned earlier, the deck has to be at TOP of travel to easily change position settings.
I Change/service my transmission about every 3-4 years, but I change filter every year when I switch from grass to snow. Do you guys have a schedule or just random?
I would think since the BX models seems to share the same frame I would not think that Kubota would want to have unique steering cylinders for each model.
The different part numbers from the 2200 to the current could mean an updated cyl which could mean different seals, specs or finishes...
Hmmm, I'm getting close to 469# with and and bucket. That is for the LA203A setup
We may be talking different attachments...
From what I find the 48" deck is around 165#.
Don't matter, a few #'s one way or another.
That's the cost of new cyl, labor is separate.
I have one you can play with too. But if it eats the o ring on piston I don't know a good reason to hang on to it.
I just had mine replaced on my '04 BX2230
The dealer said it was better to just replace the steering cyl ($200) then take the time to rebuild it. Service said the same issue (not properly honed cyl) would just cause the same problem eventually. I had them replace it.
I had a somewhat similar problem only mine would cut out and restart. I took the connector under the seat apart, cleaned it and put a dab of dielectric grease on it before putting it back together. Problem gone. I did the same thing with ALL connections after that.
