What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[ACDII]

I installed the light switches, but don't have the brackets yet for the lights, on back order. I think I can use the brackets that come with the lights for the rear lights, then just a matter of matching the harness plugs.

Found out the mirrors ordered were just the mirrors, no brackets. Dealer is looking into seeing if there is a whole kit, if not they will order up the parts.

Now to find a radio and harness for it. Played with the tractor a bit after work and put about an hour on it. I switched out the bucket to the forks and got a few pallets picked up and moved to the barn, but my doors are frozen in 3" of ice from the rain the other day, the entire front pad by the barn is solid ice, so have to park the tractor outside for now.

Going to look into those LED for the headlights and work lights myself, but already have a couple sets of LE worklights on the way for the cab. Going to light up the fields for UFO's when done.

Where'd you find the LED bulbs?

Ralph - -the Worklights were Tractor Supply, after Christmas sale several years ago. I had some 6" brackets on hand I adapted. I have to take them off in the summer. The ROPS is too short on a BX2360 for me to hang them below the ROPS...I'd hit my melon on them. Tree limbs would tear them off mowing.

The tractor bulbs were all on-line (Amazon?).

It's been a few years, but I think the headlamps and marker/hazard bulbs were just common automotive bulbs. I think my BX headlamps were 886. Will vary by model.

If you look up the replacement bulb part # for your tractor, often the description will give you an idea what auto bulb # crosses to your machine.

Thanks, I forwarded this off to the dealer. Looks like it if for an MX, but was able to track it down and the parts list looks the same between both models.

The difference is the holder for the mirrors are welded on our cabs. Looks like MX bolts on. The round housing. I have 2 in the box. When I bought my tractor off the lot I said I never thought of Mirrors as a deluxe thing. The sales guy told me after looking in his book would be 140.00 per side. I said you'll throw that in right ?
So Friday he called and said they came in. I drove 40 miles each way to realize I had 2 kits. So I took 1 back Saturday after installing the other. This is my first Kubota and my dealer sells a lot of stuff to businesses. I was attempting to be honest, but he was frustrated by the situation.
I should have shipped the extra kit to you.
Frustrates me I should have been his easiest buyer. I paid cash for this but that made no difference to him.
I'm going to find another dealer to work with. I want remotes for the front and rear. He asked me WHY ? when I asked for a quote.
I'm glad that helped you though. Wasn't bad to install. I put everything together on my work bench first. Tension roll pins were the most difficult part, and those are easy with vise grips to start and a good vise.

Sorry about the rant.........I'm done now with putting the Deluxe stuff back on. Well except the 12v cigarette lighter port id never use. Look on Amazon for Kubota Tractor stereos. They have a lot to choose from.

Spent an few hours bucking and stacking logs. I’m finally able to cleanup tornado damage now that I have the loader and grapple. FYI…Going to be giving away lots of good hard woods if anyone lives near Newnan GA.

Tornado damage was one of the main reasons I pulled the trigger on getting my LX2610 and Virnig grapple now instead of waiting. My ‘52 8n was a workhorse but there were simply some tasks it wasn’t capable of.

Anyway…….I have about 100 downed trees to clean up. Unfortunately all but a handful are pine so I don’t even get firewood out of the deal.

Here is installed Mirror, 2nd pic is the bolt on type for the MX in that kit. If you looked up separate parts the cost is way more expensive piecing to get for the same parts. I just put these in my drawer of stuff I may need someday. I also attached pdf of instructions. Image 5 is our cab.
The bearing on the bottom is a very tight fit. I tapped in partway then put the stem in and tapped as a unit till the roll pin sat in a notch. Tightened the rest down from the top to 25 ft pounds. Mirrors nice and tight and pop when folded to the next groove.
We had those sweet Ice storms last few nights. Have front leds still wiring for the Kubota plug.

my old way of bucking logs to cut and split. 2nd pic is most recent after wind storm and cutting up. Most are Locust and we have 2 fireplaces so just a lot of cutting and splitting.

Good info. I will find out on Monday how long it will take for them to get the kit. So that top number is the Kit number and includes 2 mirrors and brackets? When I look it up I find TC860-97310 and TC860-97320 So I wonder if the TC860-97301 is for both mirrors.

Not sure but that kit number I gave you had both sides. I don't know where dealer got the number. I never saw online while I was waiting.

Yes ....sorry on phone outside. That 97301 is for both. Like I said the dealer absorber the cost, but he ordered 2 think 1 per side. I had 2 full sets then. Im not dishonest so I took tje 1 back. Now I think he did chargé me with how he acted strange. My receipt is the out the door price after tax for the tractor.
Don't matter. I just hope the info helps you.
Waiting on snail mail eBay pigtails Then im done updating. Hope weather changes and drives up some lots to do.

Do you think that these mirrors are too large for a BX23S with the Curtis Delux cab? I have not been able to find any mirrors that are specific to the BX23S with cab.

Mill? I do. Some red oak. Have a few folks responding to my marketplace ad for just that reason.

I don’t have that many trees for sure. Still quite a few. Same reason I bought my LX.

Not sure. I would say that kit with the bolt on housings woukd work but you would need à attaching tab on your curtis cab with open holes. The threaded are in the moûnts already. I will measured them and attatch.
7 x 11 for the mirrors themselves. Over all height with arms 21 inches.

Has anyone switched their panel display units to Us for Mph and gallons instead of Liters ? I was trying it and stumbled on to a screen where you can.

With tractor off hold the display button
turn the key on till the display lights up
you will see a new screen with letters. Tap button till you get to J then hold. You will see your options then Mertric or Us. Choose what you want Hold button Turn the key off.
Now it will be changed on restart.
