When trying to get the loader back on my bx somehow the attachment points on loader fell down below the attachment points on the tractor. Took about 45 minutes to get it back on. Not sure how that happened other that I was on asphalt with slight hill and usually put it back on on level ground...

I got a puncture in the front tire on my bx while bush hogging. Was able to take the rim/tire off and use a tire plug repair kit and then finish up the bush hogging. Should I expect the tire to last for a long time or should I go ahead and get it replaced? Will keep an eye on the air pressure...

Is it as simple as using wrenches to remove a coupler off a loader hose? Do you have to apply teflon on the threads before putting it back on?

Is there Teflon tape on the treads of the loader couplers? Needing to remove one of them. Got a bx 2370-1 if that helps. Is it as simple as just using wrenches to remove it?

Looking for recommendations on a good fixed shade welding helmet that you can easily flip down. Thank you for your suggestions.

I'm starting to learn stick welding and am interested in learning with a fixed lens welding helmet. Is there a trick or technique on to how to start an arc with a fixed lens? Once the hood is down I can't see much and I'm just guessing where to start. Do you just simply get the electrode...

How would one go about getting into being tractor mechanic at a Kubota dealer or another brand too? Would they want someone who has gone to tech school. Should I just call the dealer and ask them who they hire and what qualifications are necessary?

Ive been wandering lately what difference position control on the 3 pt. hitch makes. I've noticed that the B seriers tractors now have it, but the bx series still do not. My main use would be box blading or using a land plane to smooth out areas of the yard . I also plan to get a tiller and...

Was out mowing some tall grass this afternoon and noticed the temp gauge got up to 4 bars. It ususally stays within the 3 bar range while mowing but I guess the taller grass put it up another bar. I cleared the radiator screen which had a little grass. When is it time to get concerned or...

I keep losing the wing nuts/knobs and the washer that hold the MMM belt cover on. Any tips on how to keep these from coming off? I assume they are rattling loose. I think I've lost 3 or 4 in the past year or 2. You would think I would start finding them in the yard. I may just try to find a...

Where are some good places to find metal around Knoxville, TN? If I could find 1/4 inch plate to practice running beads and joing them together that would be nice. Where are yall getting the metal?

This welder is dual voltage 110/220. Does this mean it can be plugged into a regular 110 outlet? I have someone coming to set up 220 in about a week but am anxious to try it out and was wandering if I could just plug it into a regular 110 outlet.

I took the PTO shaft off to shorten it on the bandsaw and this involved removing a snap ring. I wasn't able to get the snap ring back on and wound up breaking it. I measured the gearbox shaft with a micrometer and it is close to 1-3/8 inches. This may be a dumb question but if the shaft is...

I am looking to buy my first welder. I've been looking at Everlast Powerarc 200st, powerarc 300st and PowerTig 200 DV. How do you figure out the breaker and fuses required for them. I have someone who will help me wire it up when I buy it and know what breaker and fuse to put it. Thanks in...

For Stick welders that come in DC only, do you have the option to switch between DCEP and DCEN? Are there many electrodes that use AC. Just have noticed a couple machines such as the Hobart 210i and some of the everlast welders coming in DC only for the stick welding.

Just watched a video of tractor time with tim on youtube. He went to a dealer that had mahindras in the higher hp range that didn't require DPF. He may have looked at some Massey Ferguson's that didn't require them as well. What is up with that? Will Kubota be coming out with tractors above...

What is the modern equivalent or updated version of the Lincoln idealarc 300/300. I currently have this welder as it was my grandfather's. I may eventually want to update to a more modern welder. I have never welded before but am interested in it. It might be possible to begin...

After updating my I phone to the latest version of iOS, the tractorbynet app is no longer working. Anyone else have problems with this? Hopefully someone on this website can resolve this?

I go to grease the loader for the first time yesterday and the first grease zerk came right out when I pulled the grease gun off. I tried to screw the zerk back into the threaded area but have been unsuccessful so far. Part of the problem is that there is a small hole making for a very limited...

I am considering the landpride quickhitch but was wandering if anyone has used this and if there are things to be aware of? Does the hitch move the implement back further making it likely you will have to get a longer pto shaft and toplink? Is it still easy to hook up on uneven ground or if...

I have noticed a few times that while mowing uphill in fairly thick grass that the RPM's have dropped from about 3400 to 3100 or so and return to 3400 at the top of the hill or in thinner grass. I noticed that it does this in high gear but not really in low. This is a pretty much new Kubota bx...

I didn't know one cylinder moves out faster than the other. This is the first time this has happened. I'll try to attach some picures. I wasn't sure if that is a problem or not. It will just be hard/different to put the loader back on when only being able to attach one side first

So I'm having some problems with my new bx 2370-1. First problem is that it won't start which is likely from a safety switch and I think I am going to try to solve this over the phone with a Kubota tech. Hopefully I can get that figured out with him. I am more interested in asking about the...

Been researching getting a bx. Found that the inner tie rod boots may have a frequent issue of cracking. For bx owners is this a common occurrence? Is there anyone with a bx who has not had this be an issue? Are the new bx-1 models still having this issue? I've watched some paul short...

Can either the Bxpanded underarmour or BroTek skid plates be left on permanently while using the MMM on a Bx? Would be nice to just be able to put it on there and not have to bother with putting it on or off when taking the MMM on and off.

Does anyone have a an idea about the price range of how much it would cost to add a FEL to a B2920? I bought the tractor used without the FEL. It already has the loader valve and loader stick. I think it is the LA 364 loader that I would be looking at adding.

This is a random question, but I have been wandering lately how often the fluid can leak out of rear tires? I keep the tractor in the garage and sometimes think I am going to go down there one day and find all the fluid in the tire in the floor of the garage. Has anyone had problems with the...

So, I'm just starting out mowing again this year with B2920 and MMM. It now has 250 hours. My first time mowing I did not have any issues. However today the tractor had a loss of RPM's and power after about 30 minutes or so and had some white smoke. I run it at full RPM's (about 3200 or so)...

How are people in rural/country areas getting internet or are you just having to go without? I'm assuming most people who post here have internet at home though. I would like to hear some options from anyone that knows. Currently I have a wireless internet through Verizon and the prices are...

I have a pole barn that has some built in heating, but no central air. Has a concrete floor. Been wandering how to get the air quality better. I cleaned up and dusted which helped quite a bit. Probably could do that again which would help. It's hard to clean up enough though as I store bush...

Just saw the video 4shorts put up about a full service on the Kubota bx. I noticed that he checked the HST strainer. Was wandering if the B2920 has this or not. I haven't seen anything about it it the owner's manual nor has it been mentioned in 50 hr services people have posted about for the...

Does anyone know the size of the transmission drain plug on the B2920? It came off while mowing along with all the hydraulic fluid and now the tractor will not move. I think I will have to retap and larger drain plug. I had a thread about this a while ago and thought I had fixed it with a new...

Had been considering adding liquid ballast to rear tires for a while and finally added water to the rear tires. Thought I'd share a little about this and then ask a question. This process actually wasn't too hard but definitely took some work. Thank you for the posts about how to do this as...

Is it ok to use the MMM for mowing without the mowing height adjustment on? I think I could lower the MMM down and eyeball the height or even get off and measure from the ground to the blade to know exactly what height I was cutting at. I have had trouble with the MMM height adjustment ever...

Yes, free shipping to a staffed commercial business or supporting freight terminal. Hey Ted, I've never ordered anything that has to go to a commercial business or supporting freight terminal. How does that work? Is the freight terminal then able to bring it to your house for a charge...

I am recently interested in trying to garden but not wanting to spend too much on implements yet. So, I got a middlebuster (potatoe plow) to try to use it for gardening and because it was a lot cheaper than some of the other implements. I made three rows which are about 25 yards long and was...

I would like to get some suitcase weights for the B2920. The front of the tractor comes with the loader bracket. Can you attach the weights directly to this or is there another bracket you have to buy to attach them too? Wasn't able to take pictures at this time to show the loader bracket

When I changed the oil I used 10w30 Kubota oil. However I stopped by the Kubota dealership I picked up some other parts and a quart of 15w40 Kubota Oil because I couldn't remember oil I had used. The oil is 3/4 up to the second hole on the dipstick so just a little bit low. Would it be bad to...

I was replacing the transmission fluid that was lost when I changed the suction filter and overfilled it a little. I took the drain plug off to drain some of the fluid to get it back into normal range. When I hand tightened the drain plug back on it gets to a certain tightness but then loosens...

I had most of a gallon of antifreeze left over and decided to drain the antifreeze and refill today. What a mess I made and had to clean up. Not sure I like the drain pans that drain into a hole in the center of the pan. The majority of the antifreeze did make it into the drain pan but quite...

I haven't seen a lot about how to change the fuel filter for the B2920. It seems to be one that would require a little more skill since you might have to bleed the fuel line afterwards. The owner's manual also suggests to perform this when the tank is less than 1/2 full. Any advice or tips...

Any Idea what a Craftsman Commercial Lathe is worth these day?. It is old likely from the 70's or so but I'm not sure. It is probably in decent shape though it has not been used in a long time. I was able to turn it on but don't have any training or skills to use it.

I have searched for this but haven't been able to find out if there are mulching blades for the RCK60-29B. I have seen mulching blades for the bx models but not for the B. Would appreciate anyone who knows if there are mulching blades available for the RCK60-29B

I have been thinking of removing the blades on the MMM to sharpen them with a bench grinder. The manual calls for 72-87 ft-lbs of torque when putting the blades back on. Do I need to get a torque wrench to make sure that the blades get back on within the right range. Would it be ok to go...

It looks like a screw but I don't think a screw driver will work as it's tight.

Anyone know how to loosen or take off the hose clamps on the radiator hose on the top. What tool would be right for this? Also would it be hard to reconnect the clamps on the hoses if taken off?

Anyone else ever rubbed their lower link on the back tire and caused some damage to the tire. I was bush hogging and over tightened the right lower link and I guess that caused it to go over to the left too far. Heard a noise but didn't realize it was the lower link digging into the tire for...

What is the orange part on the 3 pt. that is on the left side. It appears to limit the movement of the lower link as far as raising it. What's its name and function?

Where do you store your MMM during the winter? Leave it on the tractor? Leave it on the floor? Get it up off the ground on something?

There is a plastic rectangular piece located on the right fender behind the 3 p.t lifting and lowering control. It basically looks like there could be a cup holder there like there is on the left side. I was looking at it an pressed on it and it actually came off but luckily I was able to put...

I have an old rusted out implement that my grandfather had. Not sure what it is. Looks like you could attach it to a trailer ball. It has semicircular spikes on the back. I tried moving it and the semicircular things do move but then they stop and the left wheel stops rolling as well. Not...

Can you put a trailer ball directly onto the drawbar of the b2920? Have seen other ways of doing this that use some kind of adaption to use the 3 pt. Is it better to get a adaption that uses the 3 pt? Where do you buy that kind of thing

I am new to compact tractors so was hoping someone knew the answer to this. I am able to change from High, medium, low without depressing the clutch although the owner's manual says to depress clutch and then change to High, medium, low. Also the owner's manual says to depress clutch when...
