    Note to Self…

    For those of you needing a chuckle, I give you the result of neglecting to reinstall the pressure relief valve before cycling the hydraulics. In case your wondering, the fluid does shoot pretty far.

    BX1860 Steering Stop Bolt

    Hi- I noticed the other day that I somehow bent the steering stop bolt on the left-hand side of the tractor, which I'd like to replace. I'm hoping I can grab something at the hardware store but am not sure of this size; anyone know the size and pitch? I'm guessing it's metric, but I suppose I...

    Did I Break 4WD on my BX?

    Hi- Over the weekend I was out with my tractor, in the woods, doing some grapple work. I had my Kubota BX1860 in 4wd and everything seemed to be fine. As I was backing up, I noticed the front, left tire start to spin quite fast (faster than the other tires) and the axle seemed to be making a...

    Borrowed Wood Chipper

    Hi- I borrowed a wood chipper recently from a friend. Anyone have any ideas as to the make/model? All I can see is the word “CANADA” stamped on one of the legs. Also I’d like to replace the belt prior to really using it - it’s quite cracked. Any idea how I might get the belt off of the...

    FS: Bro-Tek Spacers, Hodge Stabilizers

    Hi- I have a set of Bro-Tek spacers that came off my BX1860 as well as a pair of Hodge 3-point hitch stabilizers that also came off my 1860. Bro-Tek Spacers: I recently removed these from the front wheels on my tractor to increase clearance with my 48” mower deck. Worked well when they were on...

    Farthest You’ve Driven

    Hi- I’m looking at and thinking about purchasing an attachment for my BX quite a distance from where I live. This got me wondering…what’s the farthest distance you’ve driven to purchase an implementor attachment and was it worth the drive?

    BX Fuel Filter Question

    Hi- Just got done doing my annual fluid (HST, engine oil) and filter (air, HST, oil, and fuel) change and noticed that the first fuel filter doesn't look to be full like it was before changing the filter: Before the filter change the bowl looked to be full of diesel and now it doesn't seem to...

    BX1860 Block Heater Kit

    Hi- I finally picked up a block heater kit for my BX1860 - part number is 70000-02324. The kit comes with instructions but look to be a really poor photo copy, so all photos appear black and black unintelligible. Can someone that has this block heater kit in their 1860 be so kind as to take...

    An Addition and a Change

    I definitely don’t need more lights on my BX, but I recently came across a fender light kit that I couldn’t pass up. So with an hour or so free, I put it on today. I also made a small modification to my tire chains, which I’m hoping will keep them from falling between the treads. I used...

    Bent Tine

    Hi- Well that didn’t take too long - out working with my new-to-me grapple today and bent one of the lower tines. I tried clamping a piece of 3’ pressure treated lumber to the tine for leverage, and then pulling on that to try to straighten it but that didn’t really work. The grapple is a Land...

    Quick Question - Did I Damage my BX?

    Hi- Over the weekend I was playing around with my new grapple, which apparently meant that all my common sense went out the window. While backing slowly out of a brush pile, I absent-mindedly shifted the BX out of 4wd while moving backwards. I've never done this - I've always made sure to...

    Land Pride Grapple Cylinders

    Hi- I just picked up a used SCG0548 48" Land Pride grapple for my BX1860. Overall it's in good shape, but I noticed that the hydraulic cylinders are both fairly rusty, indicating it was kept outside without cover. While the rods don't look pitted or damaged, I'm considering replacing these...
