    BX Brush Guard

    I've been slowly working on the brush guard for my BX2230 this winter. It's been so d#$m cold and my shop doesn't heat very well, so I haven't made as much progress as I would have likes to by now. But I did get everything welded together and Monday night I worked cutting some metal screen...

    Tach on BX2230

    Has anyone put a tach on a 2230? I have been looking at the Tiny Tach. It has a transducer that clamps to an injector line to pick up pulses when the injector line is pressurized. https://www.tinytach.com/diesel-tinytach

    Replacing cutting edge on LA211

    The cutting edge on the bucket is worn pretty badly on my LA211. Apparently the previous owner used it a lot. Looking it over, it appears the top surface, inside the bucket is skip welded about 50% of the width of the bucket. The underside looks to be continuously welded from one side to the...

    LA211 Safety Stop

    Since I bought my BX2230 and having to do maintenance and repairs on it, I wanted to make a safety stop for the loader. So, Saturday after installing a new air bag on the rear axle of my Transcraft stepdeck, I decided it was time to make one up. For the tube, I used a 13.5" long piece of 1.5"...

    BX Battery Cover Repair

    One of the tabs on the battery cover that fits into the bulkhead was broken off, and allowed the cover to bulge out, which bothered me a lot. So, after looking at it and measuring the size and location of the tab, I designed a replacement tab in Tinkercad and printed it out on my 3D printer. I...

    Folding ROPS

    Has anyone here modified the ROPS on a BX model so that you can fold it down? I don't want to remove it, but I'll have to trim a lot of trees to get it under them. I am considering using some 1/4" plate to make a hinge that would be at least as strong as the original structure. Any ideas or...

    Pick-up tool mounts

    I have a pick-up tool to pick up trash when I'm mowing my yard. Seems a lot of people seem to think my yard an the adjacent roadside is their personal landfill. So, I carry this on my BX tractor when I mow, and I didn't have any place or a way to stow it when not in use, so I came up with these...

    Loader valve float

    I recently purchased a BX2230, and one of the first things I noticed was the bucket valve will not go into the float position. Talked to a local Kubota dealer and everyone there said it has to have a float position, all of them do. I even had a friend that has an identical tractor look at it...

    BX2230 HST Light is on.

    I recently purchased a BX2230, and sometimes the HST light comes on, even when the tractor is cold, and I haven't been able to track down where the sensor is located on the transmission. The transmission fluid was changed at the dealer before I bought the machine, and it is showing full on the...
