Thank you for the response. I was able to loosen the 45 degree fitting just as you suggested. I first had to loosen the brackets securing the rigid line that was obstructing things just enough to get a wrench on the nut (you can see the metal rigid line in my photo). I think I'm all set now. I...

I am trying to replace a leaking steering hydraulic hose on my BX22. It's the one that runs to the left side of the transmission and I am having a heck of a time removing it, mainly because it's impossible to get a wrench on the fitting. Plus, I'm not entirely certain where I should be putting...

Thanks for the reply diesel85. Finally broke it lose using a 1/2" drive breaker bar with 17mm allen socket.

I have a Kubota BX22 with the D905 engine. I am trying to remove the threaded plug on the side of the engine so I can install a block heater. The threaded plug has a 17mm socket head, meaning I must use a 17mm allen wrench to unscrew it. I am having a heck of a time loosening this plug. It's...

Just wondering if others have purchased tractor implements that did not live up to your expectations. Maybe they didn't do the intended job well enough or you ended up not using it as often as you thought you would, or some other reason. Here's my list: Bucket tooth bar - used it maybe 3 times...

I have a 54" Pronovost Puma snow blower, which I really like, however even with the factory skid shoes raised to the highest setting, I was still blowing gravel onto the lawn. It's especially a problem before the driveway freezes solid or after a thaw. I think I solved the issue by mounting...

I have a BX 22 and have no trouble removing the FEL onto the BXpanded dolly, but encounter serious difficulty mounting the FEL. What seems to happen is that as I uncurl (curl, can't remember right now) the bucket, which is supposed to lower the FEL onto the mounting pins, the dolly rolls. This...

pics of my BX22 & Puma 54 (edge tamers on the bucket). not the best pics...not taken by me.

Finally put my Pronovost Puma 54 snowblower to work (rear pto mount to Kubota bx22) this weekend on my long gravel driveway and so far so good. Fairly easy to mount /dismount and throws the snow a good distance. Some observations: The skid shoes work well on frozen driveway but tend to gauge if...

Somewhere I either read about it in a post or saw an add for shoes /sleds that easily attach to the leading edge of the FEL for snow removal, especially gravel driveways. Anyone who has tried using the FEL for snow removal knows that if your angle of attach is too steep, you will dig in and...

I found this plastic cap on the grass where I was using my BX22 tractor with mid mount mower. It's made from flexible polyethylene or polypropylene, doesn't have threads and has lots of grease built up inside, which leads me to believe it may be a dust cover for a grease fitting, bearing cover...

It is my understanding that there should be an aux wire /connector somewhere under the seat of my BX22, which can be used for a work light. For the life of me I cannot find it. I've unwrapped every bit of tape covering the wiring harness exposed under the seat and found nothing. Can someone...

I spent some time adjusting my 54" mid-mount mower deck and it cuts very well. However, there is one issue that I can't figure out. The blade height is 1/2" higher than the setting on the adjustment knob. I verified this using one of those incredibly useful John Deer gauges. According to the JD...

Anyone have any idea of the purpose of this wire/ connector. I thought it might be an aux connection, such as for a work light, but why under the hood? On a related note, I have never been able to find an aux / work light connector in the rear of the tractor.

Yesterday I was clearing snow with the front loader in temperatures around 6 degrees above zero. At one point the loader would not raise above a certain point. I could lower it and dump the bucket, but it would go no higher than a bit over horizontal. After I lowered the RPMs and brought the...
