If I leave my tractor running will it drain the battery if it sits there for 12 hours after it runs out of fuel ? I'm trying to purge the 5 year old fuel that is in it because it is hard to start at 40F and it is smoking a lot. Any thoughts ? Larry in NH

I can no longer crank my tractor. I can hot wire it easy enough by shorting the relay to the +12 volts. One of the interlock switches under the seat seem to be bad. How do I get to them. There are 3: 1 for making sure the pedal is centered. 2 for making sure gear box is in neutral 3 for...

This is expected only if we drop power for an extended period of time. We drop power often and I run on a EU2000i This let's us run the pellet stove, frig, fish tanks and lights and uses perhaps 2 gallons of gasoline a day. If we need water we can run a tractor and PTO to bring up everything...

The reason I'm asking is I've got a lot of fuel oil for heating purposes but I usually run a pellet stove. So far I've always been able to get gasoline and I run a EU2000i generator 24 hours a day for heat and light. But to bring up water and other things I need a bit more power. And if I ever...

How do I tension a BX2750 reduction drive chain ? The sprockets were replaced, and I have no manual. Larry I have manuals for the BX2751/2752 which I needed to complete the kit.

Can you use a york rake (or any rake) on ice in winter to break the surface so it has more traction ? I have a '93 Toyota/plow/poly edge, and have a BX23 & am working on getting the BX2750 working on it. But I'm still thinking that sometimes just running the rake over the driveway might do...

With land pride rake & scarifier & old back blade & old snow plow 4x4 diesel no PS. 1986. She was a great old gal. Built in 1986 25 years old.

Local dealership gave me .25" fuel line. Now that's got to be the wrong size. What size should it be and where do I get it ? Also, does anyone have any suggestions where I can get small screw clamps for the hose ? the ones on there are a nice size.

I have a BX2750 and I just want to make sure I don't stumble into one of it's weaknesses. I mean I expect the BX2750D to be improved.

I have a BX2750 snow blower I am purchasing. It has has a bad sprocket drive. The bad parts are: sprocket chain and driveshaft / sprocket. Kubota parts didn't show one of the sprockets. Are all 3 parts part of the BX2750 snow blower ? I have to buy the rest of the parts to put this on my...

When you remove the backhoe you have two hydraulic lines on the tractor. One is male one is female. Is there any reason not to connect them together to keep the dirt out ? I'm talking about the ones on the tractor, not the backhoe. I somehow think bad things will happen.

Local owner saw my craigslist add, the story: chain & sprockets blew up, parts were going to take 6 weeks, he bought a new BX2750D. He replaced the Auger and bearing. He is asking for $600 (for just the BX2750D not the BX2751 and BX2752 that I would need to front mount). Does this sound like...

I was using my BX23 all day, york raking, and all of sudden it stated sputtering. touching the treadle (to go forward) made it sputter. I figured it was fuel starved so I lowered the throttle very low and started climbing up the 1200' driveway. After a while I got tired of this and went back to...

I have a Land Pride York rake which is going to be sold with a John Deere 950 tractor. I tried it out on the BX23 (whose front wheel drive axle is currently dead). My 1200' driveway is quite hilly and has to bends in it. Well the Land Pride rake worked quite well. The 3 point hitch on the...

I had bad brakes. I purchased a BX23 July 31. I had a runaway tractor in Neutral August 7. I adjusted the brake August 13. The adjustment procedure is in the owners manual. You need a 14mm wrench and a pliers. Jack up the rear end and make sure the brakes aren't dragging. The first time I...
