The rod that the check chain plate on my 3-point attaches to has a tendency to work its way loose from the slot that it sits in in the subframe. When the load that I am hauling with the hitch makes a particular angle, the rod will move into just the right position that it will slip left or...

Started up the BX 24 to do some hauling this morning. I haven't used the tractor for a number of weeks. And, it's been pretty cold here lately - well below 32 F at night for the last 10 days and mid 30's during the day. The tractor started up with no problem. After letting the engine run for...

Ok...embarrasing newbie questions... 1) How do I check the oil level in the drive box? 2) How do I access the chain to lube it? Jeff

My right side flasher and turn signal (both) are out. Hence, I doubt it's the bulbs. I checked the quick connect connections near the lamp housing and they appear to be seated properly. Before I start tearing the tractor down and start tracing circuit continuity, is there something else I can...

While trying to resolve the question of which loader QD points to attach the hoses from the Quick Hitch/Subframe on my BX24 (see related thread posted earlier today), the tech at the dealer told me to make sure that the Quarter Inching Valve on the BX24 was set at the "mid point" in order to...

Hi. Just installed the BX2750C snowblower on my BX24 yesterday. After figuring out that the person who assembled the BX2731 Subframe/Quick Hitch/PTO Drive set the drive shaft up incorrectly, the rest of the install went smoothly. I do have one question though... the hydraulic lines for the...

Should I be cleaning and lubricating the cylinders on my BX24, especially after heavy use of the hoe or loader? Specifically, I am referring to the "shiny rods" that move in and out of the cylinders (sorry...I don't recall the names of those parts.) Any advice?

What is the correct position of the FEL bucket when supporting the front of a BX24 while using the hoe? Should the bucket be in the fully dump position or should it be level? It seems that the only way to effectively raise the front of the tractor is to have the bucket in the dump position...

When the tech from Finch Services was at my place on Monday to look at my BX24, I asked him about the warnings regarding high pressure leaks from a pinhole in a line. He says that he knew a guy who apprenticed at another shop. One day he and the senior tech he was apprenticing with were trying...

Hi. After 2 hours of intermittent use of the backhoe today, I noticed the smell of fresh hydro fluid. And I noticed smoke (probably burning hydro fluid) coming from underneath the tracktor. I stopped it immediately...Noticed hyrdrofluid under the seat area and on the ground. Hydro fluid was...

Does anyone make a capstan winch that can be mounted on the 3 point and powered by the PTO of a BX 24?

Does anyone make a log splitter that can be powered by the rear hydraulics on the BX24?

In a few weeks, I will have to dig a 200 foot long, 12 inch wide, 12 inch deep trench to hold PVC pipe which will hold various coaxial (communications) cables from my radio shack to my tower. Any tips on how I can do this easily, quickly, and neatly? Thanks

Someone posted a very nice list of recall items that Kubota is supposed to fix on the BX24. Can someone please give me the link to the posting? Thanks in advance. Jeff

When I was checking the oil on my BX24 today I noticed that the label on the engine says "BX23". :eek: What gives? Jeff

Today while playing with the BX24, I noticed a rather loud metallic rattle :confused: coming from the FEL while I was raising the boom and cycling the loader. The engine was at about 2200 RPM. I suspect that the loader stand was rattling, but I can't be sure since the rattle came and went and...

Ok. I understand what the Step Stay kit is supposed to do. The question I have is what happened (or happens) on BX24's that don't have the kit? I will have to look to see if I do or do not have them on my BX24. I know I don't have the newest seat. My dealer says that new seats will be...

The manual for the BX24 (and I imagine all BX's as well as other machines) states that the front axle can use either UDT or 80w90 gear oil. How do I decide that I need to change from the UDT to the gear oil? :confused:

I want to wash my BX24. Is this a bad idea? Assuming it's not, what are things I should NOT get wet? Finally, anyone have any tips on how to efficiently wash a tractor? Thanks Jeff:cool:

Question: Someone explain to me how the cutting height dial on a BX24 works. Also, my dial clicks when it turns and I can turn it continuously in either direction without hitting a stop. Is this normal? J

While mowing weeds in one of my fields I managed to hit a boulder. :eek: The noise was incredible! One of the blades actually stopped turning causing the belt to smoke. :eek: I stopped the PTO and lifted immediately. The mower appeared to be ok afterwards an I continued mowing. Q: should I...

Anyone know the weight of the BT601 BH on the BX24? Jeff

I have a BX24 with a MMM,snowblower, and ballast box Do the these implements come with their own manuals? My dealer delivered them without manuals. Thanks for your help. Jeff

Can someone recommend a good grease gun for lubing by BX24? Or would any old grease gun work? Jeff

I was under the impression from this message board that when the key on a BX24 is turned to the pre-start position that the glow plug light would stay on for only a few seconds (depending on ambient temperature) and then go out, indicating that the engine could be started. The light on my new...

I just purchased a BX24TLB. Today was the first day I've used it for any real work. At least five times today, when shifting from low to high (and vice-versa) I did so without braking. This caused the gears to grind a bit. Question: did I do any permanent damage? Thanks for reading. Jeff
