A friend had a hydraulic leak on his 2350 and after removing the hood we discovered split/rotted small hoses running from what I assume is some sort of surge tank just behind the radiator. The tank is about 8" diameter or so and has a T fitting on top with barbed nipples where the two lines...

I've had my WoodMaxx chipper for 3 years and love it. But the other day the feed roller stopped working. The problem turned out to be a sheared key in the hydraulic pump drive. The pump shaft slides into a fitting in the main chipper shaft, using only a key and no set screws to transmit the...

Maybe this has been covered before but I could not find it in searches. Anyway my BX1500 radiator developed a leak in the core. I could see that access was tight so decided to just replace rather than attempt repair to avoid possibly having to do the job twice if a repair failed. The shop manual...

I often want to raise or lower the discharge chute on my Kubota BX mid-mounted mower, to either disperse the grass widely by running with the chute up or keep from blowing it onto fencing or sidewalks by keeping it lowered. So I just came up with a super simple device to raise/lower while...

I've left a short report in the "Reviews" section, but thought I would give a more detailed report here. I've owned a BearCat 73554 chipper/shredder for several years and use it to chip orchard prunings and general tree trimmings around the property. I've always wished for a hydraulic feed...

Not sure where this came from but that's one heavy duty trailer!

My recently purchased (used, 200hrs) BX2230 has just developed a loud screeching when the brakes are applied hard while the tractor is moving. I normally use the HST for braking effect when moving, but occasionally use the brakes briefly instead. Anyway I assume a previous owner may have run...

Just wanted to let others know about some nice seat covers that fit BX tractors. At least they fit the two BX seat styles on mine. My BX1500 seat had many cracks plus some bites my neighbor's horse took out of it. This cover saved the cost of a replacement plus the fabric is more comfortable...

Hi guys, I have an older RK48-15BX 48" MMM on a BX1500. I now also have a BX2230 which has a few inches longer wheelbase. The rear mower mounts seem to line up fine, but the front link from the BX1500 is about 4" too short to be able to connect. The Messicks parts diagram only lists one front...

I'm toying with the idea of building a weeder to slice off weeds just below the surface for minimal soil disturbance in a no-till orchard. I have a Kubota BX sub compact, and am thinking that a frame using the mid-mounted mower mounts would have best depth control on uneven surfaces compared to...

My BX1500 had been getting harder to start, needing several seconds of cranking. I noticed that it would only start if I advanced the throttle quite a bit, which made me worry that maybe compression was low. Turned out the problem was just the fuel shut-off solenoid (Engine Stop Solenoid) was...

There have been several threads on this topic, but thought I would share a method that worked well for me. Problem: The center pivot bolt on the front axle of BX models rides in thin bushings and passes through the oil-filled axle cavity. The axle oil lubricates the bushings but eventually...

Hi guys, Anyone here ever replaced an axle seal on an 852 or similar BCS? From page 6 of the parts diagram it looks like the axle and bearings are in their own separate housing that can simply be unbolted from the side of the transmission case, then the axle splines should just slip out of the...

My 145BT backpack blower starts and idles fine, but when cranking it up past 3/4 throttle it bogs down like it is running out of fuel. History: got it second hand from a private party but it was brand new, never fueled up. From day 1 it had this problem. I confirmed a lean condition by holding...

Does anyone have experience with the generator attachment for BCS/Grillo sold by Earth Tools? Just wondering how it has worked out for emergency outages, etc. One disadvantage I can see is that the engine speed has to be continuous high speed, whereas most dedicated generators will idle down...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this project - maybe it should be over at the Rural Living Forum since it doesn't involve tractors? My apologies if that's the case, but it is definitely in the build-it-yourself project category. I have two water wells on my property with 24 volt...

I've long wanted a ring roller but could never find a decent small one used, and new ones are really pricey. My local Kubota dealer happened to mention, "Some guys just get some 10" pipe, buy the rings and make their own." I did and am really pleased with the result. I use this for compacting...

I have a 2 acre hillside no-till orchard that I seed with a cool weather legume mix each fall, then flail mow in the late spring for a mulch. I've been sowing by cutting shallow furrows with a spring tooth harrow, then hand-crank broadcasting and dragging to cover. It has always worked but lots...
