I think the gear selector (hydro) is out of adjustment (assuming there is a safety interlock there). I know it needs to be in neutral to start. No crank 2 days ago (no clicking of solenoid by the way) so I moved the hydro stick back and forth and it started. Today same thing but no amount of...

You are correct I misspoke

Get the argon tank works great on a mig using a spool of silicon bronze. Could use that with your spool gun or loaded in the mig machine. You can “weld” dissimilar metals with ease, stainless, etc. All I’ve been using for sheet metal these days. Isn’t true ‘welding” but the tensile strength is...

When running 240vac the current load is shared by both hot legs so factor that into your wiring choice. For example if welder pulls 30 amps each leg supplies 15 amps so wiring can be determined by that and wire run length. wire it and use welder for 240vac and forget about using it with 120vac IMO.

Hey al! I've been reading all relative threads and still I am stumped as to why I can't get voltage to starter solenoid. When I turn the key to 1st position (run) the indicators on dash light up and you hear the fuel pump tick. Next position is glow plug preheat and when in this position (spring...

Here are some pics of me taking down a shed on my property that was too old and ugly to keep around. Used the BX to get it to "ground level". Cut it up and hauled it to the dump in my dump trailer. Hardly broke a sweat (hence the large body lol). Dave

BX-2200 won\'t start I've got a BX-2200 with about 280 hrs that just won't start. I know there are many possibilities but the manual does not help much. I was cutting the grass and the BX acted as if I ran out of fuel. I topped of the tank, bled it (even took the fuel line offf at the...

I seem to have an ongoing problem with fuel contamination (water). I've drained the tank and changed the inline filters many times. I now use a water separating funnel (Mr. Funnel I believe) but after the tractor warms up a bit (snow duties now but usually power loss shows up with the MMM being...

Hello all, I'm having trouble maintaining an idle on my BX2200. Water in the fuel shouldn't be a problem as I have recently changed the filters (I have had problems with water in the fuel before). This seems entirely different though. As soon as I engage my MMM PTO the engine bogs down and...

I topped off the fuel tank today before using the MMM (had about 1 gallon left in a 5 gallon metal jerry can). Everything was going well when all of a sudden (after about a half hour of use) the engine starting to run rough. It was worse with a load on it (the MMM). I suspect water in the fuel...

I tried a search, in vain, on the above subject and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I believe the step bumper receiver was attached to a BX22/2200 FEL. I wanted to do the same to my BX2200. Thanks.

I placed this post here because it is intended, more specifically, for other BX22/2200 owners. There has been many posts regarding PHD usage on the "smallish" BX's. I really needed a PHD and figured I was taking somewhat of a gamble on ground clearance issues, hole size, etc.. Well, I am pleased...

My brother in law wants to pass on to me (well, I guess $1,000 is not really passing it on) a 1962 Ford 600 with loader and backhoe. It's one ugly tractor but has served him well, until recently. The loader and BH controls work ok but occasionally (seems more often now) the BH bucket will not...

I haven't contributed in a while so I thought, as I was prepping the rear blade for it's skid shoe installation, that I'd take some photos. There were posts in the past about the best way to plow with a rear blade depending on driveway materials, etc.. Since I have block, stone and asphalt...

I'm still waiting for Kubota to release the backhoe that the Regional Rep said was coming out this summer. My dealer mentioned that LandPride came out with a line of backhoes, one of which suits the BX for trenching, tree planting, digging footings, etc. Here's the link if anyone's interested...

BX \"Boulder Holder\" Photo not meant to try and impress anybody but rather to illustrate the capabilities of the BX. This is for anyone considering a BX and is under the impression that it can do little more than move around mulch. Trescrows has shown similar type photos of his BX as well...

Again I'm calling on a fellow BX'er for aid. When I had my BX delivered I asked that they bring along all I would need for my 50 hr service as I planned on doing it myself. As it turned out they sent fuel, air, engine and trans. filters and all the fluids. I knew eventually I would need all of...

I have a minor problem that I was hoping a fellow BXer could help me with. I don't use (or plan to use) the turn signals much but recently they have gone haywire. I noticed, while I using the loader yesterday, the left one was on and the right blinking while the switch is in the off position...

Help! Was using the FEL to move topsoil, went into the house to use the bathroom, heard the BX start up, came out to find what you see in the attached photo. Ever find one of those on your tractor? How does one remove such? My cover has been blown!!! Now she'll want to mow the lawn too! She is...

Had a mishap at 14 hours on the meter. The mid pto shaft for the mower self destructed. It was the movable collar portion where the shaft meets the PTO spline. All heck broke loose when it let go! I've cut the lawn twice now and never had a problem with the shaft. I thought (even though it's a...

Put about 6 hrs on new machine so far. I tried on all implements on the 3 ph (mounting / dismounting), attached and detached the FEL and even the 60" midmount mower. All very easy to do (struggled somewhat with the 3 ph). In fact I was prepared with my rollaway (toolbox) and was surprised that...

Just a quick note to say thanks to all BX owners for being staunch supporters of the BX. Mine (all info is updated in profile) arrived today and I bought it based on reading all the posts. (Especially Trescrows!) You can see from my profile (property) that anything larger is overkill. Actually...

Anyone know where I can find prices on LP implements? Looking to compare prices because our local dealer seems pricey but I know LP implements are expensive. I want to buy a rake (w/gauge wheels) and a rear blade. Should I buy separate implements or does anyone have an opinion on the LP rake...

Does Kubota require some sort of comprehensive insurance coverage on purchased equipment (BX-2200 for ex.) when you finance from them? Would a homeowners policy typically satisfy the requirement? Thanks.

BX serial #\'s I'm leaving early tomorrow morning to visit an out of state Kubota dealer to see the BX and the B7500 (trying to decide) because my local dealer doesn't have a BX. I'll be buying "something" tomorrow! In reading some posts, I've noticed some discussions about the BX's with early...

I'm ready to make the change from a GT to the BX. With the GT I have a bagger that I use primarily in the fall for leaves. Otherwise I use the mulching deck option. I guess I'm somewhat fanatical about my lawn and never liked the look of the lawn after using the side discharge on the GT. My...

I can't help feeling like I'm butting into a private conversation by posting these questions. I guess from your responses I'll know if I am following procedure here or not. I'm itching to order a tractor ASAP but had a couple questions that I trust your answers more than what a local dealer has...
