    Where did this strap come from?

    Found this on the ground the other day. Can someone tell me where this came from on my BX24?

    LCD readout on BX24 - worthwhile replacing or not???

    Had my first readout replaced under warranty at about 100 hours..now 275 hours, it's all blacked out again. Is it even worth my while to replace again? I normally just gauge engine speed by listening to the tractor, she usually whines like crazy if it's not enough...:thumbsup:

    FYI, PTO safety switch slipped back

    Just thought I'd share since this was the first time I ran into this and it took about 20 minutes (time to get more done during the shorter days). Doing my normal backhoe and loader work when the tractor shuts off and cannot be restarted (you can hear clicking but engine won't turn)...

    Oil & Fuel  rain water in fuel...:(

    OK...made dumb move...filled up my tank and left the cap off for over a week...:( had several southern storms come on by during that time. I've only cranked it once but shut it right back down after i noticed the cap was off. Bought some Heet to put in, but what else should i do before i start...

    Time for a wash, but using a pressure washer?

    Pressure washer? Seriously? I'm due for a wash, but using a pressure washer on it? Is that really required?

    Ready for 200 hour service but have questions

    I have some leftover Kubota UDT from the 50 hour service last year and am ready for the 200 hour. Since I'm outside my warranty period I need some opinions: 1) Do I truly need to run the high dollar UDT (even more for SUDT)? 2) Can I mix the left over UDT with another type of hydraulic fluid...

    Front drive axle rubbing against frame

    I've been noticing it happening more now and more particularly on the right side. Should I be concerned? Is there a way to prevent that from happening? I saw the nut that can tighten the pivoting motion, however, I didn't think that would actually prevent contact.

    BX24 - HST pedal stuck in forward...

    Okay...this has probably been discussed before but I thought I would ask again to see if anyone has good ideas on how resolve this. I have to tap on the reverse pedal to disengage the forward drive all the time now. Brought it to the dealer to have them check/fix it...got slapped with a $60...

    whiffs of HST odor while using tractor?

    I've noticed this since the first time I smelled what HST fluid was like (after 50 hour service, but didn't think anything of it. Now that I've been educating myself on TBN, I'm wondering is it OK to get whiffs of HST odor while using the tractor? I thought that the HST was a completely sealed...

    Hydraulic fluid disposal

    I didn't think to ask the people there, but is hydraulic fluid considered to be the same as engine/automotive oil :confused: There's only two containers at the recycle centers and one is labeled engine/automotive oil and the other is cooking oil. I went ahead and dumped it into the engine...

    Float locks in the "Raise" position

    I think the detent on my BX24 has shifted somewhat and it now locks in the raise position. Not good when I almost dumped the dirt on myself :eek:. Anyone ever experience that? Anyone know how to make the adjustment if possible? Does anyone know how to tighten up the slop in the joystick too?

    Tires  Rear tires filled...what a difference..

    OK, I have to admit that I was very skeptical about what difference having the rear tires filled on a BX24 would provide since I was told by the dealer that because of it's smaller size, filling them wouldn't have too much impact. And as long as I kept the BH on, no addtional conterweight would...

    Excuses to use your Bota

    Just wanted to start a fun thread to find out, and maybe even "learn" some excuses that the folks on here are making just to use their tractors or even to get one in the first place :D. Latest post was a little girl using the BH to bury a goldfish which I think is so cool. My "reason" for...

    What's normal drive shaft vibration on BX24?

    I'm trying to learn more about my tractor and get somewhat of a baseline. I have a question for all you fine folks on here that has a BX23, BX24, or BX25. Do you notice any vibration on the driveshaft? My BX24 normally has very rough idling at low rpm's but generally smoothes itself out at...

    Has anyone attempted replacing hst fan for BX24?

    I'm thinking about taking on the task in order to save some money (closest shop is 50 minutes and they quoted $550 for the $10 fan). I'm not an expert but am somewhat handy with tools and very willing to learn. I have attempted slitting the fan in half and epoxying it to the old fan hub but...
