I've got about 20 hrs on our new BX24 now and while moving some brush piles last week I managed to slice one of the rubber boots that cover the inner joint on the right tie rod.
Called my dealer's parts guy this morning and they say the only way Kubota sells that boot with as an assembly with the inner pivot joint. P/N is K2561-01630 "Joint axial ball" and cost is $46.72. Can it be true that you can't just replace the rubber boot?
Either replacing the boot alone or the whole joint will require resetting the toe-in, but I found the specs for toe-in, so I'm not worried about doing that.
Has anyone found a way to replace just the rubber boot on a BX24 and where did you get the part?
