    BX2380 front blade

    I just purchased a BX2380 with a front blower but didn't get the loader as I already have a B26. I have a 48" blade laying around I'd like to use on the 2380 but, even if I fabricate a mount, is the quick hitch strong enough for me to push things around?

    BX2380 three point hitch

    I just pulled the trigger on a new BX2380 with a front mounted blower. Does anyone know if the tractor comes with all the three point hitch parts as standard equipment (like my B26) or do I have to buy a kit? I would have just used the Class 1 three point hitch from my B26 but I need it for...

    Broken G1800 throttle cable

    My 1993 G1800 was still humming right along until the throttle cable broke just at the throttle lever. I bit the bullet and ordered a new cable assembly but the day before it arrived I had one of my (rare) bright ideas. Instead of replacing the whole cable assembly, why not just order 1/16"...

    G1800 intermittent start

    I'm starting to have a problem with my G1800 with 600 hours on it. I changed the battery, starter and starter switch last year when I started having intermittent starting problems. I finally had enough and took it to the dealer where they found a grounding problem. Things worked will till two...

    Cab kit for a G1800

    I have a G1800 that only has 600 hours on it and I plan to keep the tractor for quite awhile. Winters are not getting any easier and I finally decided having snow blow back into my face just wasn't fun anymore. The only site I could find that listed cabs for my G1800 just says "discontinued"...

    G1800 no start

    I'm the first to admit I should have looked harder when my G1800 wouldn't consistently start but here I am hanging my head in shame. :ashamed: It all started this past spring when the starter pinion gear wouldn't retract. I got by for the last few snow storms by manually pushing the gear back...

    B26 range lever

    I need some help. My B26 with 500 hours has a problem with the high/Low transfer lever. I was blowing snow on a hill when I tried to go up the grade. The engine bogged down even though the lever was in mid range. I finally made it up the hill and then into my garage. When I looked, the transfer...

    Checking B26 HST fluid-engine running or off?

    I just watched a YouTube video on another model of Kubota where the mechanic ran the engine when checking the HST fluid. That got me confused, I know checking engine oil with the engine running isn't a good idea, but HST? I've owned my B26 for six years and have always checked the HST with the...

    SHEAR BOLTS

    I have a B26 with a 42" Pronovost snow blower. The blower is properly sized to the tractor but I'm having problems with my PTO shear bolts breaking. The PTO came with 6mm shear bolts which kept breaking even under light snow conditions. I drilled out the 6mm shear bolt hole hole to 1/4" as it...

    SNOWBLOWER FOR A G1800

    I have a low hour G1800 that runs great but the G2546 blower is really starting to show its age. With the salt here in Ontario the blower is rusting out and I may not even make it through another winter. I checked with the dealer yesterday and the G2546 blower isn't available anymore. His only...

    Floor mats

    I was just reading in another post about the cost of floor mats and how some think they are getting hosed on the price of mats. I bought a used B26 that didn't have mats on either side of transmission hump. No great problems says I until the snow started flying and the bare metal floor became...

    KUBOTA BACK UP GENERATORS

    I realise this is a bit off the topic of tractors but there is some much knowledge out there on Kubotas that I thought I'd ask. I'm looking at buying a backup generator for my cottage. I've pretty well narrowed the field down to either a Generac propane fed generator or a Kubota GL1100 diesel...

    B26 Hydraulic line damage

    I was doing routine maintenance on my B26 on the weekend when I noticed the left hand FEL retraction hydraulic line had some damage to the outer rubber layer near the connector on the cylinder end. Nothing is leaking and the wire braid seems intact. The tractor only has 365 hours on it but...
