My X380 with a 23hp Kawasaki engine has developed a problem of backfiring through the exhaust with the engine speed varying when throttle is set and not being moved. At first I thought I had put bad gas in it so I drained and refilled it with fresh gas. Then I found the air cleaner was plugged...

I've narrowed my search down to the SB1064 and the B64C snow blowers and would like to hear from people that own either one of them. The Blizzard has a 15" auger, 24" impeller and weighs 531 lbs. The LP has a 14" auger, a 20" impeller and weighs 390 lbs. The stats suggest the Blizzard is a...

Purchasing a LX3310 with a BH and would like to hear from people as to the best thumb to buy. Factory thumb or aftermarket thumb such as the BXpanded Barracuda factory mount thumb? I've never owned a BH so all information will be welcomed!

I'm updating from a BX2200D to a LX3310 and hate the thought of buying a new MMM when the one I have is in excellent condition. The dealer, of course, says I need a new MMM. If someone has a LX3310 with a MMM, could you please share photos of how the MMM attaches to the tractor? Has anyone used...

I have a 2001 BX2200 with less then 700 hrs on it. I've changed the hydro oil and filter several times, with Kubota oil & filters, never finding metal filings in the used oil. The oil is at the full mark on the stick. The problem I'm having is with the loader bucket. Sometimes when I set the...

I'm trying to help a friend get his 2240 running. I found out the circuit breaker needs to be replaced but there is something else wrong in the starting circuit. The tractor will start if you jumper the starter solenoid. He told me the tractor would start fine in the morning but after he had...

I went to open the hood to check the oil on my JD LX277 and a big chuck of it broke off in my hand. I'd like to ask if someone in this forum has a hood they would sell or know someplace in the MA-RI area that sells used parts. My wife had already put a big crack down the side of it a few years...

Sorry, wrong forum! Moved to JD.

I got to use the snowblower yesterday for the first time and it worked great. I had put a piece of 1/16" stock under the blade and adjusted the skids to the ground. Today I went out to do a little clean up around the edges and snagged a corner of a tarp which then wrapped around the auger. I...

I prepared the BX2200 for the winter season this past weekend. I bought the Puma 54" snowblower at the end of last season so am looking forward to trying it out. The manual that comes with it doesn't give any detailed installation instructions so I'd like to know a few things. Do I set the Puma...

Attempting to replace the seals in the steering cylinder, I can't get the shaft to come out of the cylinder. I'm trying to remove the shaft from the end that has the hose fitting at a 15 degree angle (left side from seat). The wiper ring is out of the bore about a 1/4" and I can spin it on the...

My new Puma 54 arrived yesterday so there will be no more snow this season in MA! Am I wrong to be a little upset with the condition of this new snowblower and should I call the dealer and complain or just accept it? There are numerous places that the paint has been replaced with rust including...

OK, so I'm about to pull the trigger on buying a rear mount snowblower for my BX2200. My question now is how do I connect the hydraulic chute rotator and probably a hydraulic defector into my tractor's system? Do I tee into the lines going to the FEL joystick and connect these to another 4 way...

Has anyone found and dealt with a 3ph snowblower dealer in MA that sells other the Kubota units? The closest Ber-vac dealer I found was in Maine and Pronovost was in NY or PA!. The 52" Ber-vac is $2600 and the Kubota is $2500. How do these compare to each other? The Ber-vac says recommended hp...

After clearing the snow today and finding I'm running out of room to put the piles, I'm thinking more about a snowblower. A neighbor's driveway is gravel, drops off fairly steeply from the street and then levels off. I have a plow mounted to the FEL so keeping it in the float position allows me...
