Been away from the net for quite a while. Have BX 24 with belly mower 60 inch. Bolts came loose on pulley and destroyed the pulley and bearing seal on spindle. Have acquired new parts, cleaned bearings and bearing race, repacked with grease and seal is in place. I am ready to replace parts...

Still kind of new to the forum and equipment and all. I notice now after doing some digging with my FEL that there is some 'slop' in the bucket. That is to say it rocks back and forth as though it has more play in the swivel pin areas. I know this is not entirely normal but I am thinking a...

I just finished digging out a small tree stump with my backhoe. Shut down the tractor briefly and when I came back and started it up... nothing. I mean NOTHING. Checked the hydraulic fluid and it was low. Added about one guart and it brought it right up. Only about 190 hours on this...

I only have 125 hours on this 2008 BX 24, MMM, FEL, BH. So, it is like brand new almost (except for the mud! :D). I now have a leak in my steering cylinder. Hyd fluid leaks out pretty good where the piston rod enters the cylinder when it is being used under pressure. I am assuming the seals...

Hello; This is my first post and I hope somebody can help me. I live in Western PA. I have an older model B8200 Kubota. I lost my gear box on the belly mower and the dealers around here are asking WAY too much. The Model number on the deck is RC B60 - 1. I need the whole gear box assembly if...
