New Kubota BX2200 owner

[RobertC]

This is my first post to the list but a long time lurker. I found a BX2200 on
Craigslist for $1,000 and couldn't resist the challenge. No, it wasn't a scam
but it does have some fire damage. It will need rewiring, hydraulic lines, a
new seat and dash and a lot of paint and body work. I have reasonable
mechanical and fabrication skills but have never worked on diesels or hydraulics
so will have questions as I tackle each step. The combined knowledge here is
amazing and I hope to eventually contribute to the pool.

I realize pictures are expected but I haven't had time to transfer any to
this computer.

Good luck - I'd love to see photos of the progress. :thumbsup:

Restoration project...Sounds like a good challenge, and welcome to TBN.

Welcome to TBN and that is a great price on a repairable BX. Did it have a mower or FEL(Front End Loader). Here is a link to the index of KUBOTABOOKS They show 2 parts manuals for your machine. I find it helps to have the exploded views and parts #s for help in ordering and reassembly.

Congratulations, the 2200 is a great little tractor.

Good deal, I hope the fix up goes well and you get a great machine at a great price.
