I would inspect the lock pin or balls for damage. You may have forgotten to hold the lock pin in the release position while attempting to install the shaft on the PTO splines. It should just slide on without much effort if everything is correct and the splines are free of paint and undamaged...

Check the fuel and filters. Recently I had bad fuel for my tractor and while RPM's were ok, there was a drop in power which translated in poor performance. Turned out to be the contamination clogged the fuel filter.

If I remember correctly, the fan is 240 volt and hooked to the power switch Red on one side Blue on the other side. The welders came with a 50 amp plug which was 2 hot blades and a center ground pin. (like a old style 3 prong dryer plug). The machine does not use 120v and so would not have a...

Fuel shutoff solenoid closes the rack on shutdown and holds it closed for a period of time until the shutdown timer times out after the engine stops. The shutoff solenoid is not energized while the engine is running. If the solenoid wire breaks (they can do that from engine vibration) the...

Probably a bad (main) switch or bad connection to the switch or fuse, or bad ground connection on the pump ground wire. It's not that complicated of a circuit. 12v power is fed through the switch when the main switch is in the on position, then to the 15A fuse, from the fuse to the pump. The...

A wagon with a steer axle is different from a regular bumper pull trailer or a gooseneck, 5th wheel etc. which uses the tractor, truck, car for a steer axle. The steer axle is always under the front of the wagon. Tightening the pivot at the drawbar will just bend or break something so leave the...

There are no block or lock valves on any of the cylinders so no special procedures are needed. Just connect up the hoses properly, make sure they are connected fully and operate the cylinder several times through it's full range holding for a second or two at full extension and retraction to get...

I have a BX2230. The Hyd pump is at top left of the transmission housing. The pump intake is via an external metal pipe and rubber hose connection that comes from the transmission sump. Remove the left rear tire to access the sump strainer and get access to the hyd lines and pump area.

Lots of TIG mentions in previous posts and yes, tig is a good process for certain things and metal that you can get really clean, It takes more skill than some other processes and I don't use it for everything, just like I don't use flux core for everything. I have for many years used a simple...

Each blade should have 2 belleville (cupped) washers and one rather loose hex/torx looking washer. Torque is 75lbf. The belleville washers are the 'lock' washers. The cupped side goes against blade and they flatten under the 75lbf torque but will still allow the blade to slip if a rock, or other...

We always used a chain for the top link and no issues.

I was surprised the ban did not mention potential for starting fire instead of pollution. Then again it California.

I have a BX2230 that has the freeze plugs and went to my dealer last week to get a block heater for it. I need the correct Kubota part number for the freeze plug style heater so I can give it to the parts counter and have them get the correct heater. It seems that my dealer could find the part...
