    Play in HST pedal worn bushing on trans

    I had to replace THAT bearing on my B2410 a few years back. The bearing was toast. even a couple of "balls" had fallen out. It is a quick and simple swap out ..... but getting to it is a BIt%^$ !!!

    Suicide

    This is going to sound tedious, however, here it goes. Grab a WSM for that year and model. Locate the wiring diagram that shows the wire color, point of origin, point of termination and note if there are ANY inline fuses, fuse links and or breakers along the wire. Match this data to what's...

    Rebuild or replace HSD for B2710

    The Mennonite shop around here does mainly high end zero turn mower hydro replace, rebuild and/or repair of hydrostatic pumps. About 5 years ago a buddy of mine took his hydro unit to them (not the tractor.... just the unit) and they bench rebuilt it for a fraction of the cost of a new one. His...

    Grease fitting

    Oh Man am I with you on this! Instead of cardboard I use a piece of foil covered insulated house sheathing. (I have been known to dumpster dive from time to time) Super better than cardboard on concrete in the dead of winter... and seeing as sometimes I might make a mess.... it wipes down really...

    Grease fitting

    Actually.... The air powered Lincoln is less bulky and lighter than my neighbor's Milwaukie Battery gun. The air hose was not a big impediment The big plus for the whip was.... it freed up one hand and gave me more room to work under the tractor. With that being said I still grease it solo...

    2004 Kubota B2710 HST Failure

    Pete.... gave you my thoughts on you replacing your Hydro pump on your previous post on this subject. Jeezzzz! Just 400 hours on your 2710... WOW! Providing the hour meter was operational from day one... your tractor is still a pup! Those hydros are bullet proof if the tractor has been well...

    Rebuild or replace HSD for B2710

    As tough as it is to get to... do you really want to risk trying to rebuild yourself and coming up short and still not have it operational. If you can do all the work, if it was me, I'd spend the extra bucks for a new hydro unit. There is one other option that comes to mind.... Remove the old...

    BX 2370 PTO lever Operation

    Guys... My deceased neighbor was an applied petroleum engineer. His world revolved around lubrication and cleanness.. That tractor was lubed every 10 hours (except for one hidden grease fitting.... the forward /reverse pedal under the floormat access) after he passed last year I did his...

    BX 2370 PTO lever Operation

    I did not install the mower this season because I blew my knee out so getting down is a big deal these days. Another neighbor helped her out and he'd never done it before. I got a call when they could not engage the mid PTO with the clutch lever. Given that info I checked if the mower was...

    BX 2370 PTO lever Operation

    My neighbor owns a BX2370. Its equipped RCK60B23BX MMM. The issue she is experiencing is in the operation of PTO. The PTO lever is hangs up big time and is almost impossible to shift between the 3 PTO shift positions. One thing to note is when we finally got the lever to the Mid PTO on...

    wet brake replacements

    Guys (and gals) I have owned my B2410 since new 24 years ago. My brakes have never been adjusted. Like the army of Kubota owners that have come before me.... they have operated the tractor with the break pedal locked down. Aside from killing the hydraulic oil we have prematurely wore the...

    Replacement headlights

    I used Super Bright Leds, Inc to find the brightest and most power replacements for the old B2410. Finding them was pretty easy. First I determined what kind of bulb socket I had then measured the depth of the lenses housing to see what bulbs it could accommodate. It worked out great. But...

    B6200 HST - Mower Deck Gear Box

    Guys .... Just throwing this out there. There is an Amish man that deals in kubota parts from auctions. He is good! I bought a RCK24 - 29b mower shell from him. I was brand new for $750. I saw a butt load of Kubota MMM gear boxes at his place when I picked it up. Oh yes... the mower deck I...
