Check with Mountainman on this forum. He may have something to help. Tractor Gal

Wow...now THAT'S a story. So glad you didn't tip over or hit the garage. I've only used 4 WD a couple of times...when I needed more traction. Yes, I know...that's a DUH. I have always thought it was to be used when needed, not all the time. But, this story is saying to use it all the time...

I will look at things more closely when the weather clears. I hear what you and Russell are suggesting. I just don't want to put something that critical in a place where it can be damaged easily. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep thinking. "Sometimes me sits and thinks and sometimes me...

Good thinkin', Russell. You're really trying to solve this and I appreciate your effort. Right off the bat, the answer is "I don't know." :-) After the bat has swung and missed, I would say that it's likely that I would complicate things more! Even though some of Kubota's engineering is not...

I thought that was what you meant. And, it IS a web. It also provides a problem too big for me. Thanks for your help, though. TG

Yes, you did a great job. It looks to me that the "web" on my loader (as Russell has aptly called it) will prevent the body of the filter from sitting correctly,. It would move the filter further to the front and possibly more exposed to damage. I'm not as handy with bending/welding metal...

Thanks for the idea, Russell. I think you're suggesting getting a mounting plate/bar made that will attach to the piece I have called an angle of steel. You may be calling it web. I'm not sure that's what you're thinking. But, after mulling this around and trying to find an example of a...

My BX23D has an LA211 loader. There is a steel "insert" that forms an angle at the spot where these relocated fuel filters would fit. I'd like to do the relocation. I have changed both filters with hose clamps in place and it wasn't too bad. But, like many are saying...I'm not getting any...

For use with my 2004 BX23D, I have both dollies from Bxpanded...backhoe and FEL. I've yet to "master" the art required for either of them. I had taken the FEL off once without the dolly but I didn't move the tractor much. I just wanted to see how it worked. Getting it back on, therefore, at...

I do not have the same BX but perhaps this will be helpful. On the side to the right of the seat, there should be a handle that slides forward/backward. It will be in the area of the speed selector. That will raise/lower the MMM and the rear PTO arms, if you have them. Once you set the...

Here's a new one: a friend of mine had several stumps that were in the way. So, a company was hired to do it. The person who did the grinding used one that was controlled with a remote! Now THAT would be the kind to have. I don't know the name of the equipment manufacturer. Tractor Gal...

I should not have acquiesced so quickly. :) TG

OK, I stand corrected! Sorry I made you look. :-) The dipstick must be attached to the fill cap? The dipstick opening for my BX23D would never tolerate being used to fill the reservoir. It's enough of a pain to use the larger fill opening. TG

Check at the back of the tractor, near the dip stick...should be an orange cap about 3" diameter. Screw that out to fill. And, yes...use a long neck funnel, preferably one that will bend and has a filter in it. I don't have a BX1500 but I would think most BX's will be similar. Tractor Gal

It's not too hard to drain a bit of hydraulic oil...just get a catch basin, loosen the bolt slightly but don't remove it...just a couple of turns until the oil begins to flow. If you take the bolt all the way out, the oil will gush and then it's hard to get the bolt back in without loosing a...

It would be handy to know the volume by looking at the dipstick. Those bars only tell if we have too little or too much. Yes, we know the volume of what SHOULD be in there but if it's down one mark, how much volume is that. Adding fluid bit by bit is too time consuming...imho, of course. TG

Good for you, jackjack99168. It's good that you have gotten a tractor without the expense, but also good that you're able and willing to learn how to use it. This board will be invaluable as you begin the process. While I had been around motors and machinery my whole life, I had never had...

Hold the fort! It's a good thing I read the posts on this board. All this time, I was pushing a button like is on all other PTO connections I've used. Apparently, with the statements here, all I need to do is pull back that ring, line up the splines and slide it onto the PTO shaft. "All," I...

If your mower is like other Kubota mowers, there is a "button" that must be depressed that will release the shaft from the splines. As shown above, you can see the "button." It's a job, by the way! Very little space to move...and the grease makes it slippery! TG
