    Is the bearing underneath the front axle seal good or bad? Am I paranoid?

    Bearings and races are either good or bad. There is no in between. If there is no off axis movement and no pitting or scoring, then they are good. Since you cleaned all lubricant off them, be sure to lubricate them thoroughly before reassembly.

    Radiator

    I had a stick run through my radiator about 4 months after I bought my tractor. My dealer repaired it under warranty. I explained the circumstances to them and they presented my claim to Kubota and they authorized the repair. I was very fortunate that they authorized the repair, and I know it. I...

    Newbie tire questions

    The R14's should be a good compromise for you. You mentioned that you are concerned about tearing up the ground in a finished area. The R4's will tear it up really bad if it is grass on top soil.

    Orange tractor related but NOT Kubota

    Your dad and my uncle started working at AC about the same time. I don't know exactly what his job was but I know that for at least sometime during his tenure there that he operated a lathe. My uncle started working there after he was discharged from the US Army after the Korean war. It is...

    I also do as Chim mentioned, The bolts tend to tighten up as you use the mower, rather than come loose.

    I am not sure what blades are used for your mower but the Oregon blades I purchased for mine are 1/4" thick. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092BNM58F?ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details&th=1

    Mid Mount Mower blades

    To add to the above post, use an impact wrench to remove the blade bolts. It makes the job much easier.

    Down-Hill In A Hurry

    As with any 4WD car or truck, the wheels are not really locked in 4WD. All that you really get in 4WD is an equal power distribution between the front axle and the rear axle. The front axle on your tractor does not lock both front wheels in 4WD.

    BX Bucket edge, Piranha tooth,pro or straight? Pros and Cons of each.

    When not using the bucket keep it on the ground. That bar stays sharp even after digging tons of rock. I love that thing.

    Down-Hill In A Hurry

    You mentioned that your BX does not have a locking differential. If you are talking about the BX2370 in your profile, it does have a locking differential. Check this link out. https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/007/3/0/7304-kubota-bx2370.html

    Hello? Hello?

    What NIW mentioned is correct on both points. However, if you check out Amazon you may be able to find a cell phone that has two SIM slots. A couple years ago I bought one for $119 that had two SIM slots. I have not shopped for one lately so I really do not know what is out there at present. It...

    Hello? Hello?

    If one reason for not wanting to switch from land line to mobile for you is that you don't want to lose your number, have the land line number ported over to the wireless carrier of your choice. I did that with my old land line number. I have had that number for over 30 years and did not want to...

    Schizo weather

    I would have to disagree with you. That is probably because I may be older than you and I remember Lake Superior influencing weather in extremes since the early 1950's. I used to live in Upper Michigan in the 1970's and in Wisconsin before that. The Great Lakes have always influenced weather...

    Bx23 dual wheel setup?

    You would be able to mitigate some of the damage by putting tubes in all your tires and lowering the air pressure in all tires. This would make the tires float over wet ground easier. The reason to put tubes in the tires is because if you lower the tire pressure too low without tubes in them you...

    3% in New Hampshire

    Retailers here in my neck of the woods started charging the 3% fee for credit card use a couple of years ago. My wife and I always ask retailers now if there is a fee for using a credit card. Some charge a flat fee and some charge a percentage. Some do not charge at all. If they charge we use...

    Did you check the battery? It sounds like you may have a bad battery or the charging system is not working, or both.

    I need help everyone.

    I am glad that we have someone that is a very careful former cop. The points that you made are taken to heart so I removed my advice on how to obtain a key. I hope that I did not accidentally contribute to a possible crime in progress.
