    Bolt size?

    Here is the parts list. If you need to replace item 060 it is probably special, the nut should be standard SAE or metric. I have found both metric and SAE sizing on the FEL stuff. As mentioned earlier take the bolt to the store and match up a nut. Ron

    Using a chain as top link with attachments

    See the picture of the LP floating top link. That is what I use for all contour following implements. It appears to probably be safer than a chain. My QH is equipped with one to use when needed. this comes from the LP QH Manual available on line free. This manual also has all the various...

    Racket Rake or Piranha bar?

    I looked at both plus other solutions and decided my requirements need something heftier and more aggressive to use on my BX 25. See the attached pictures. This sucker will now dig like crazy and curl back and I can still back blade. I spaced the teeth so I can put up to 4 clamp on forks with...

    Traction  BX 25 Differential Lock Pedal

    It is very unhandy to engage that little pedal with your heel when doing other things to increase traction. You engage it to get more traction and just as you get moving it drops out, then you are fumbling around trying to get it engaged again. It gets very distressing when you are on a hill...

    Keeping new construction comfortable inside during winter

    I have a kerosene/diesel fueled blast heater . There are many brands and sizes, the big box stores have them. Even most of the kerosene ones will also burn diesel fine. I use diesel (off road). My steel shop is not heated except this way. , I have used them on many construction sites and...

    Regeneration Valve

    I have a Prince MB series 8 GPM valve on my Log Splitter. I have that one as in that GPM range it is the only one SC has with PB capability. I am confused by the jargon around Regen valves. I see some on the net that just go in the output line of the MB. If I did such what would be the effect...

    Grading with a subcompact to take out a slope

    I have a BB but find it cumbersome to use as it does not hold much and you still have to dump and pick up with the FEL. I made a heavy duty tooth bar for the FEL. It now digs like a champ, even scoops up sod where the smooth edge just rides over it. Haven't used the BB since except to rip...

    3rd function valve

    JJ, The main circuit relief is an attachment to the HST housing and it is the main relief for the attachment and 3PT circuit. What you may see as a relief valve at the BH valves is what they call a Load Check Valve in one place and an overload relief valve in another (appears to be one assembly...

    3rd function valve

    JJ and all, Attached is a copy of the HYD diagram from the WSM. I have drawn flow arrows on it for clarification. Note item 11 the relief valve, it establishes the pressure right at the pump, it is part of HST housing casting. Items 4 and 3 are the control valve and cylinders for the 3PT...

    Bolt on cutting edge for BX

    Here are some pictures of a tooth bar I made. I have not seen a commercial product that will do what these teeth will do. I can really dig with the FEL plus I spaced them so I could still use the clamp on forks. The 2 tabs in the center are to hold an attachment that is a class 3 trailer...

    Third Function Switch for FEL Joy Stick

    There has been a lot on interest here lately on setting up a 3rd function on FEls to operate a grapple, including me. I cannot afford to buy a manufactured grapple unit so am designing one I can fabricate in my shop. Question for all you experts: Who makes those fancy switch units that fit...

    Hydraulic Relief Valve Adjustment for Bx2230 and Bx1830

    I am being a nice guy for a change, I normally say go buy your own manual. Here are 3 pages from the WSM depicting the relief valve. The picture is not very definitive on the location. It is on the left side of the HST behind the left rear wheel. Recommend you have the BH and the wheel off...

    BX Rolling Logs

    CONTINUING SAGA Here are some more pictures of the continuation of dismembering that pile of firewood. It continues to be a challenge working on the slope and keeping the pathway graded out. Most grading is back-blading with the FEL mostly down hill. I can now turn around at the upper end to...

    BX Rolling Logs

    I am working the slash piles left from logging 15 Ac of timber to make firewood to sell. 20 cord to date and that much or more to go. They left two large piles where they set up the processor on either side of the creek; 59 truckloads and many of them over 100K weight. I am putting my BX 25...

    No More Emails

    The last 30 days or so I no longer am on the email notification of posts I have responded to or new subjects I have initiated. I have the block checked to ask for that. What am I doing wrong or is there something wrong with the system. Ron- Tractor Seabee

    BX 2370/2670 Rear Hydraulic Connections

    I have a BX25 that I am working the crap out of and extremely pleased (1K HRs in less than 3 years). I find that the FEL and BH are on a lot and also need the 3 PT a lot. Looking at getting a 2370 or 2670 with a MMM as my wife hates the new Husqvarna I just bought her. Then I have the 3 PT...

    Splitter Regen Valve for Power Beyond

    I am looking for a log splitter regenerative valve that will work on a Power Beyond System and be stackable with others for lift and a hoist winch units. Plan to use on my BX25 using the BH ports. The Prince LSR 3060 mentioned in previous posts does not meet those criteria. Maybe I am...

    Where can I get Broken BX Axel Shafts?

    Looking for a couple broken axel shafts for a BX25. Probably several other Kubota's have the same wheel pattern also. All I plan to use is the wheel flange part to build some wheel base extenders. That way I do not have to be meticulous getting the bolt holes placed and threaded on the wheel...

    BX25 With Chipper attached to PTO

    The electrical interlocks will not allow me to get off the seat to operate the chipper with the PTO engaged. Is there some little quirk I am missing or do I need to install a bypass switch around the seat switch? Ron

    BX 25 Hydraulic Pressure

    There have been numerous past threads on raising the pressure of the relief valve. Please cite your experience on yhis subject. My dealer's Service Manager says leave it within factory spec but can site no other reason except the factory says so. I bought a bunch of shims and set up a guage...

    BX 25 Hydraulics

    Working on my bucket list of winter projects and scouring up pieces/parts. QUESTION: Are BX25 quick connect fittings standard US pattern or are they unique to Kubota as the dealer claims? They naturally want to sell them at their branded inflated price. Maybe I am stuck with the situation but...

    Looking at Dozers

    I need to get a dozer to do some light land clearing and build some access trails through my forest. It needs to be small enough to load on my 12K trailer. A Case 350 and a PowerTrack have cropped up on the local Graig's List in the $6K range. My budget is +/- $7K with minus a plus. I plan...

    Backhoe  There has to be a better seat

    I love mu BX25 except for the poorly engineered seat arrangement for the BH use. It is a real PITA to reset the seat around. Must be a better way. Has anyone seen or used an aftermarket product that is on a swivel that you do not have to fight with every time you want to move a little? Ron

    Anyone have one of these? Performance? Problems? Parts Support? I know it is Chinese made, seems to be pretty solid unit. Have an opportunity to buy one, He claims he only used once and has been stored under cover for 3-4 years. He cannot find the manual. Importer web site has one, you have...

    Welding Lead Ends

    I am looking for the tapered plug end for the leads for a Wards PowerKraft Arc Welder. The tapered plug is slightly larger than the ones for Miller, Lincoln, and Airco which are readily available. The local supplier's shop foreman said they had that problem but found Forney had one. Forney's...

    Moles Taking Over

    We have been fighting the moles for two years in our yard and garden. Tried everything from poison to vibrators. My daughter has a litle dog that we turned loose, all he did was till up the ground exposing tunnels, no moles. They have increased exponently rather than decrease. These are not...

    Loader  BX 25 FEL/Front QH

    Questions?? I have a BX 25 and looking at a snow blade set up. Will probably get the QH for it first and then save up to get the blade or adapt a used one. Does the QH when installed interfere with the FEL? Hope not as that would queer the idea for me. Second question; can you keep the FEL...

    Log Splitter on BX25

    I want to get a log splitter but am confused by the Kubota Power Beyond (PB) feature. The 3PT splitters I have seen so far only have two hoses. I would propose to use the Backhoe hydraulics which has the three hoses. With the BH off the PB hose couples to the Supply (P) connector and the Tank...
