    Now on my 10th Kubota, an older B7500 with a loader. The BX23S was just too sloppy!

    Easy Fan Belt replacement

    Just replaced my fan belt on my BX24 with a variable length link belt from Amazon . Didn't have to move the engine or remove the drive shaft. Took about an hour after the loader, front guard, and the side panels were off. Seems like a very reasonable fix for a miserable Kubota service...

    I can't find out where the key stop timer is located on my BX24. Help is appreciated!

    Indecisive...yet determined.

    I agree with all that bigger is better! Also, a possible consideration is a self leveling bucket (forks too) if it's going to see service as a forklift. An 1100 pound Cummins strapped or bolted to a pallet isn't pretty with a 15 degrees of accidental bucket roll. I believe one of the Grand L...

    Please help me navigate Kubota's website!!!

    One other tip, Don't use FireFox as a browser for Kubota parts, it won't work! You must use Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer.

    Rear Remote Help

    It should be pretty straight forward. Use an open center, 4 way, 2 spool valve with "power beyond" capability. Install the inlet line from the backhoe to the inlet on the new valve and connect the outlet from the new valve to the input on the back hoe. The use of the new valve will interrupt...

    trailer issue

    If you only need 3 inches or so toward the center on each ramp and don't need to go back out to the fully spread width, get 4" longer pivot pins. Mount them so the excess length is towards the centerline of the trailer. Then move the inside ramp bracket INSIDE of the mounting tab. Pin the...

    I can check in on my 2 piece fan as mentioned above. It's been 3 months since I completed it and everything is working fine!

    Repairing a BX24 Loader Bucket

    Very nice build! I note that you're using a Lincoln, a quality welder! ... that's a far cry from a Harbor Freight Chinese imitation!

    Repairing a BX24 Loader Bucket

    10:1 says it's the welder. Unless it's Miller, Lincoln, Hobart, or a small handful of others, quality becomes an issue. If it's made in China, double the odds of getting good results (and parts)!

    Repairing a BX24 Loader Bucket

    I searched for a good used bucket for almost a year with no luck. A new bucket was just under $500 at my dealer, so this seemed like the best plan!

    Repairing a BX24 Loader Bucket

    Well, no one volunteered an easy answer, so I decided to rebuild and improve my BX24, LA240 loader bucket. With a few measurements from the old bucket, I went to my local metal shop and had them shear and bend a 3/16" replacement bottom plate 1/2" oversize plus 2" up the angle at the rear of...

    Kubota LA240 Loader Bucket

    I need to put a new floor and cutting edge on the bucket of my BX24. The original owner wore through the back edge using it to scrape on pavement and butchered the welding. It's warped and bowed. Considering cutting it out and welding in a complete bottom and new edge but would also consider...

    BX25D Hard to Start

    Just a thought, but check the fuel shut-off (STOP) solenoid to make sure it's open all the way. If you've ever noticed a loud click a few seconds after you stop the engine, it's this solenoid returning to the open or run position at rest. When you turn the key to "OFF" the solenoid closes to...

    BX24 HST Fan Replacement

    I think the proper design would have been a slightly reinforced 2 piece fan where the mounting bolt segments overlapped. That would have maintained alignment easily and allowed much easier replacement.
