    Will an L3560 w/ BH77 fit in my garage without drama?

    I just had the L2501 with the loader, no BH. It generally did well in the woods, but the loader really increases the turning radius when trees are in front of you, and if you're going up and down hills, you can't go off-camber because it was narrow (no wheel spacers) and top heavy, even with...

    Will an L3560 w/ BH77 fit in my garage without drama?

    Also being on hilly land with a lot of trees, I highly recommend the smaller tractor because it'll go places the bigger ones simply can't. I started with the L2501 which was more than I needed, and I knew it up front. I used it sparingly for 5 years doing the heavier tasks I wanted to get...

    New Cars/Trucks

    Lots of truth here. I've noticed my other vehicles have different oil recommended to use for identical engines in the rest of the world, but specify the thin crap only in the US. No thank you, I'll take the 0.06mpg penalty and longer engine life. GM changes the recommend oil for some of these...

    New Cars/Trucks

    I'm well too aware of the Magnuson-Moss warranty act and how illegal what they were doing was. On the fifth visit I mentioned if it wasn't fixed this time, I was going to pursue a lemon buyback. That's the rest of the story. When you pushed the clutch in and turned (like coasting or turning...

    New Cars/Trucks

    What's worse is that the code in the computer was a joint code. If the rev limiter is hit, OR the max speed is hit, the code was stored. Pull out in traffic fast and hit the rev limiter once, code stored for future warranty denial possibly. State attorney general wanted nothing to do with it...

    BS. Ford revoked my truck's entire warranty for hitting the 85mph speed limiter, calling it abuse. After 4 dealership visits for the same stalling issue, I was warranty blacklisted at all dealerships. I found the defective vacuum hose myself and replaced it for $6. A Ford will never again...

    Just spent $100 on a few 8" duct fittings for my water heater an hour ago. Fireplace vent and HVAC vent prices have gone crazy, even compared to what other construction prices have done.

    BX23S - Fuel cap - lockable with key

    If she was like the tractor, she was a bit dirty but serviced very regularly! :ROFLMAO: Previous owner was actually a private school that contracted out service and they did a LOT of service. 9 oil/filter changes in the first 100 hours, annual coolant flush/fills, several hydraulic...

    BX23S - Fuel cap - lockable with key

    That's for the 70 series tractors like mine. Since yours is an 80 series (BX2380, BX2680, BX23S, etc), find out what parts they use for your tractor. I don't know how the fuel filler changed for the newer tractors or if the 70-series parts will work for yours. I can't find pictures or the...

    BX23S - Fuel cap - lockable with key

    Cause 'Merica! If you've got a 9mm on your hip and do something stupid, that plate was really stout and could stop the average round from messing up your tank. I really have no idea, haha, but it was one of the most heavy duty parts on the whole cab. I'm guessing it has to do with some...

    BX23S - Fuel cap - lockable with key

    That reminds me... My tractor had a Curtis cab on it when I bought it and as part of the kit, there was a hard fuel filler cover around the fuel cap that would've been very easy to modify with a padlock or something. You'd have to fashion up a mount since you don't have a cab, but if you could...

    BX23S - Fuel cap - lockable with key

    A lot of us have put a coffee strainer into the tank. Fits perfectly, less than $20 (US at least) from Amazon, and keeps anything from getting in. This is what I used in my BX25D: https://www.amazon.com/iAesthete-Coffee-Filter-Stainless-infuser/dp/B075L531TR I think the BX23S is slightly...

    She'll readily admit she's more about comfort than fashion at this point, but if she had gained weight during that time, I'd be a dead man for opening my mouth. :ROFLMAO:

    BX2380 Mower Deck Help

    First page shows it working with the other 54" and 60" mowers listed in a post above, and I know those are also compatible with the 80-series, so you should be fine. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1055921/Kubota-Bx1860.html#product-RCK54P-23BX

    BX2380 Mower Deck Help

    There are two brackets that attach to the front of the deck and suspend it under the front of the tractor. Make sure those come with it. Even with those brackets, I think $1000 with that damaged wheel and the missing pulley covers is overpriced. I picked my 60" deck up used for $1k last year...

    Does anyone know what a BX23S rear wheel and tire weigh?

    No clue why the tires would be different weights, or if they even are in reality. I've got my set of R4s loose right now since I'm currently running the turf tires, so I might have to weigh them out of curiosity now.
