Ok, was running just fine. Tank got low. Engine burbled once, I cut it off and went for fuel. Got Kroger car fuel, no fuel buddy! On restart (no burble), after a while (10 minutes?), lost high RPM power, hi rpm burbles, etc... got through the day. Threw in Diesel 911 per NAPA recommendation, no...

Timken National Seals 240356 - Nitrile Oil Seal - 24 Design, Single Lip without Spring, 1.2500 in Shaft, 1.6970 in OD, 0.1875 in Width, Nitrile, 24

If I see a Kubota ad I assume it will be a scam. Many others will also. Try to get something local in pics, and don't use a gmail address.

Got it rebuilt, it was the last pressure seal as shaft exits - in pieces. So, pushing forward would give a lever effect, but no seal on metal rear end, still could hurt center seal or shaft. Pulling backward multiplies pressure toward shaft end seal as I found. Anyone got any insights on...

OK - not perp. to floor, but bucket floor perpendicular to ground - edge scraping. And either pushing forward or pulling back, I was busy! Seems like... if hand valve was at rest (holding) a nd I pushed forward, then bucket edge becomes lever against cylinder, over pressure rear seal? Same...

Oh, it's definitely not the hose, it's the shaft. I would have been happy with just the hose....

17 year old? BX 23 I was going back and forth with the tractor, cutting some (level bucket) and scraping some (perpendicular bucket floor) leveling after cutting some dirt for another location. Sudden fluid flow out of cylinder/shaft joint, cylinder still operates. Age failure - or did I load...

While I was hunting tongue scales I saw hanging scales, 660 lbs for only $30. I got lotsa' trees. THX guys. MATH - should position weight response be linear? (Single axle...)

I may have done a $100 worth of work getting there...

I've been using the foot on the jack - seems fine.

I've hauled gravel and stones when I had to stop on interstate and move load, by hand. I've learned to make a load ramp when I go to the gravel place, so when the guy 'misses' it still go to the front. So, slowly learned very important. I see the weighing lever idea is not far off base. How...

As above, setting up new trailer and BX23. I sat the tractor to float the trailer (my zero) and moved forward a few time until I ran out of scale-ability. Scale stopped at 400 lbs. Since I had measured along the way (distance and weight) I could make a reasonable prediction to get to 525 or so...

If it's a bad design, that's not gonna' change. Find a good sheet metal guy and buy some aluminum. It's only gotta' be perfect in a couple of spots.

The thinking on the parts system is weird to me. You have to start here: https://apps.kubotausa.com/illustrated-parts/ You would search B21. This will not include the loader or backhoe. NEVER 'go back', use 'Return to a List'. You will also search on, I guess TL421 and BT751 per stickers on your...

Link me? I looked a bit, but only other models or pivot seals...

I did those - the pivot or bevel gear seal/race combo. I mean the seal between the wheel mounting hub/axle and the large (8 in) gear (along with 2 bearings). The OE manual simply says "remove"...

I did one post 5527840

Lots of views, no advice, I guess folks don't change 'em during pivot job - so I did OK.

On my system it was that 5 (?) ported thingy...

But the actual front (stubby) axle seal at the 2 bearings in the gear cover. I bought these seals along with a pivot set - turns out that was easy after these - https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200898125_200898125 Are the axle seals and bearings a press job? Failure rate? I see no...

I have performed the mystic rituals: BX23 complete changeover from lawn/leaf/turf back to Loader/backhoe/R4s, battery tendered, tucked under tarp and full winter/snow maintenance on the 4wd Durango. Thus, big snow and toy needs prevented! You're welcome. (Seems preparation always proves...

I want to: Apply pressure (up to 2000 psi or so) by other means, hit a maintained electric switch, and have the pressure hold in that line until switch changed (- oh for $25!); a remote operated valve. But yet reliably and inexpensively. Suggestions?

I've read and read and read.... What I don't see is a definitive description of why and when a good engineer selects one or the other. I get the impression that if the port is the LAST port then power beyond really doesn't matter - no beyond exists. What if that changes? In my case, BX23...

As above, I have an inherited BX23 from 2005 or so. Looking at tractor and paint chart - Kubota Paint Chart I seem to have yellow paint showing under orange in a number of places, was expecting to see Yellow Repair Primer listed - but only Grey - good under all colors and types? Would my...

I had written the above while vacationing, and my memory failed me. My method would only work on the 8 in., as the 'extra' metal is actually of the bucket, not the dipper stick. On the next size larger, new bucket, the extra metal would not contain the travel of the longer pins. Pics -

I was in the middle of a stump (I just love stumping) at MIL's and pulled the back out of my 12 in. original bucket. Piddled around on the web and found OK pricing but shipping OMG! Called my dealer, he had a newer 8 in. ordered for someone who never showed up, at better than whole goods, but it...

On my last sharpening, while shields off, I watched for grease to pass lower seals - only upper on one. I tried again after job. OK, read hundred of posts about greasing and the lower shields (cups). Got any necessary parts, and knocked everything apart, expecting to fine 'hardened' grease...

If the secondary goal for safety chains is to catch the tongue before it digs into the the pavement... Why not a series of laterals like tire chains? Why not positioned and shortened so as to not allow travel to the pavement?

for pickup, will trash later this week. I disassembled original seat (to pull vinyl back in line), decided not to repair - it is repairable, but time constraints this week. So if you need metal back, lined internal pad, vinyl cover, closing trim - come and get 'em. (Last metal clip split.)...

I have a residential BX23, and rather often just go get fuel on the road, in the bike lane or to a rental house. The steering is rather twitchy, so much so I didn't want to turn to look for turns while moving, and added the golf cart mirror. By twitchy I mean the first little bit of steering...

I'm not sure how to ask, but.... Is the hydraulic braking an inherent function of the mechanical design, or a function of applying and releasing the same brakes I apply with my foot? If I wear the foot brakes out completely, will the hydraulic brakes be gone? By hydraulic brakes I mean the no...

BX23 - BT600 I want to be able to park between cars this winter (and also be able to sleep). The 'feet' on this model flip around quite a bit - too much to trust just a chain hook. And the 2 feet areas do not line up straight as the operator's station in in the way - so no single bar, pipe...

I really did spend 2 evenings reading instructions and trying to post in personal ads.... NO SUCCESS Anyway, in Richmond, VA 6 X 8 Chain Link Harrow - farm & garden - by owner - sale Needs to go, delivered local

Well, let's see... 1 Jeff - I'll almost agree. I do have 2nd hand gear, mostly virginal, but not guaranteed. SO I went back and looked at the books. I have/had Ring Cotters in 4 locations: Mower Lift Links - OK, in weed flow, but also never removed by me in service, so why not just cotters...

I couldn't think of a better header... So - I have that equipment and some ?'s! 1. For various positions... Why on earth did Kubota supply, for some of the clevis pins, those snap rings? 2. For my mower... Why do they spec the front of the mower to be lower? (Almost counter intuitive...) 3. I...

2005 or so BX23.... OE tires/wheels were Ag/Angled bar: front 18 8.5 8 rear 26 12 12 I want turfs for lawn care, from reading it seems current supply is same except larger front wheel front 18 8.5 10 rear 26 12 12 dealer is offering turfs in older sizes.... front 18 8.5 8 rear 26 12 12...

As above... I have the print, but it doesn't have a wiring location diagram. I have 2-10 in. connectors w/o fuses, and 24 in. connectors w/fuse. I would rather find a protected place under/near the hood than under the battery grille (easier to get to in snow). I expect connectors not long term...

Hi all - I see my BX23/BT600 has pressure relief(s) on both swings and dipper cylinder extend that are rated higher than tractor working pressure. Is there some standard logic? (I'm guessing where tractor 'falls' into hole with parts extended and gravity pushes relief into operating.) I would...

I tried searching - honest! Anyway, I had a remarkable response from 'adjusting' main tractor pressure relief to specs. I am wondering if there isn't a similar maintenance issue with backhoe. I see what looks like pressure relief symbols in the hydraulic schematic for BH operating valves, but...

Hi all - I did all my fluids last year with major accessories off, and have only mowed and bagged since. It made such a difference in the transmission! Anyway, do not want to contaminate this now fine working assembly! I managed to manually flush the loader before re-attaching it. How would I...

Hi all! I changed my BX23 transmission and implement fluid for the 300 hour service. I did NOT have the loader or backhoe on, and I tried really hard to give all the fittings a chance to drain (held pins in and waited, etc). Seemed to really 'pep up' the tractor motion and I believe it sounds...

Hi all, I have a question, and I did try to find answer first.... In the BX23 HS ( http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/109279-bx23-transmission-needing-replacement.html ) the valves in area (4) have a different appendage. Both the 3 and 4 position valves have, as...

Hey all - got the $14 gauge from Grainger and went to look at hookup pics (Tommu56?) and they're gone. I'm thinking... if I plumb it, Tee'd in line in the FEL, then operate a cylinder until relief operates (noise) - wouldn't it be exactly the same as if I just deadheaded it (the gauge) inline...

Hi all - I have the above (and a newly level tractor from tire repairs). I now can confirm that the vacuum assembly wants to sit low to the right side where the offcenter weight is - on the tractor. This is the older triangle to the top / dual link arm to the bottom type mount that is so hard...

Existing OTR Traction Master bars. Considering for holes, not wear. It's been a garage tractor, so minimal solar exposure. Will they just age to fail (8 years so far), or do I just keep patching them? Where to buy? Looks like over $400 for tires alone, others seem to mention dealer goods...

I'm looking for something like the above... a port where one might test the pressure for reverse. I'm thinking that rather than mounting and adjusting and perpetually fixing a 'stick actuated' switch at the pedal for a reverse warning, I could put a pressure switch in a test port if such exists...

I seem to remember seeing other tractors with all 4 wheels in the air from backhoe and loader self-lift. I tried it today with my BX23 and couldn't get the front to lift itself clear. I don't know that it ever did it - but will anyone else's?

Hi all, I have a BX23 tlb, and in my short experience I have a very hard time getting stuff level. I seem to be able to replicate whatever angle the tractor is canted at, but feel I am lacking a one-sided 'tilt' for the loader bucket so I can cut in at an angle other than the one the tractor...

Hi all! I have a BX23, got a RCK54-22BX local, and then a GCK60-BX from a tbn'er. He said bought his BX, with a mower (also 54) and this bagger, but never assembled bagger to tractor. So, I've got it all home and squared up, and the instructions and parts don't match - either the books I have or...

Was reading here (lower forums) about low ZTR quality last night, as I had given up on finding a good used MMM for my BX23. Googled RCK 60 and 54 one more time, and one was listed Sunday night literally blocks from my house! (Richmond - Chester Craigslist) Seemed just a bit high, but looked...

I suggest... When I open a picture, in a particular post, I need a 'next' button on that picture page to see the poster's next picture. Often, a responder will suppy multiple views as they 'zoom in' and explain how to find or get to a spot on the tractor, or supply different 'plan' views. As it...

Is there a point for BX23? A rough measure (the drive/parts are tight in there) makes me think all the wheels have '0' offset (plate/flange in center of rim). Am I correct? THX

Hi all - I thought I had a handle on this for a few minutes..... Scenario is - inherited a tractor with a large fuel can marked DIESEL. When Kubota ran a bit low, I poured fuel in - it was blue - set me back - but it smelled, felt like diesel so I topped off tank (maybe 30%). Checked some...

Hi - I was chatting in another area (about generators and shaft speed regulation), and they said tractor throttles were effectively self managed as to load and rpm. Would my/our SCUT's have a sytem (either electonic or mechanical) have a system to maintain RPMs as the tractor was loaded? If so...

Hi folks, 1st post, been lurking a while. Couple of BX23 ?'s A. The book shows the 3PH right hand Lift Rod End (attachment to the hydraulic lift arm)at an awfully strange angle, something like / / ! ! ! ! / \ as though the illustator had never...
