I have a B2400 that will not start, no sound, no nothing. For the past few weeks I've had to jiggle the rear PTO lever to get the starter to engage. Seems the safety switch/relay/sensor/whatever has shot craps. Where in the world is it located? I noticed the linkage from the lever goes to...

I've been looking for a B2920 w/FEL for my daughter and son in law. Noticed a lot of low hour ones for sale. Why? Problems with them?

I have a seven year old 1500 series garden tractor. Today it clicks only when I try to start it. I have made sure the battery is charged and even tried to jump it with the Kubota CUT. Still clicks only. Interestingly it shows a voltage drop (if the meter on the cub is to be believed) when...

Just got my b2400 back from the dealer after a near catastrophic fire. A few weeks ago while cutting a pasture puffs of smoke started coming out of the dashboard. I turned it off and walked to the barn to get a screwdriver to remove the dash to see what happened. Upon coming out of the barn I...

When I got a B2400 w/LA351 loader a couple of years ago I ordered a manual that came spiral bound from a Xerox copy. I'm wanting to remove the loader to do some tight work and noticed that page 20, the last page, reinstalling the loader, is missing. Does anyone have that manual that can send...

I'm changing the blades on my little Bush Hog sq480 as they're pretty beaten up and I want to do some pasture cutting. I've gotten the nuts and washers off thru the view holes using PB Blaster and a cheater bar (thanks to info on this site) but now the bolts seem to be frozen in unless I'm...

The left rear tire on my b2400 looked a little low a year ago. When I tried to put air in the valve a liquid began dripping out. I put away the air compressor and forgot about it, wondering what kind of liquid was put in the rear tires. Since I've read about foam, etc. put in tires. Now, I...

I seems to me that my lower two points used to "lock" and would not rise or be able to be lifted by hand. Now they can? Was I dreaming that they couldn't be lifted by hand or has something happened? Tractor is a Kubota b2400. Bruski

I've got a b2400 HSD. Want to change the hydraulic/transmission fluid but am confused by the manual. Does it have three plugs? One in front and two at the rear? And exactly where does the "screen" hide, behind yet another plug? At least I know where the filter is as it's easily visible. Bruski

I've got new respect for my little b2400 and LA351 loader. Just finished moving (.2 mile) and placing about 20 tons of shot rock ranging in size from large gravel to 300+++ pounds. The little B didn't miss a beat and the loader was more than up to the challenge. It's one tough little sucker...

:D This has probably been covered in depth repeatedly, but I'm amazed so I'll mention it. Not to diss my previous tractor (b7100), but having for the first time cut pasture with the same bush hog squealer (48 inch) with the b2400 after using the other tractor last year, there is an impressive...

When I use the LA351 loader on my b2400 I get a little leakage from a couple of the quick couplers at the control valve. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it to be expected? Bruski

Last May I purchased a b1700 with which I've been very happy, but . . . have an opportunity to get a very low hour b2400 with FEL for $7900 and sell the 1700 to a neighbor for what I paid for it. Is this a reasonable price and is the 2400 a reliable machine? Haven't told the "little mule" I'm...

I have three perhaps ignorant questions: 1) Been a long time since I've seen a battery that has a "water level." Is there a danger of freezing/cracking? 2) Should I use a battery tender on it during the winter months of limited use. 3) Is there a "sta-bil" type product that can/should be...

I've had a later model B7100HST for about 6 months. Been very happy with its operation and ease of servicing. I have a question about starting. It sometimes (after warming the glow plug) does nothing when I turn the ignition the first time or two, sort of clicks, then starts right up. Is...
