I step on the right brake, the tractor turns easily and is silent. However, when I step on the left brake, there is a seriously ugly growling noise in the rear end and I mean it's loud and gritty. My first thought since the planetary gear set, bearings and shaft are totally new, is that the...

We bought a 2005 Kubota BX2200. The dealer was to service it before delivery and supply me with a manual for it. First off, the thing was never serviced...... No biggie, I'll do it myself, but the manual states that the only thing to be greased whatsoever, is the HS drive pedal and the battery...

I've got a 316 with an Onan engine and wondered where a person could find rings for it especially since the Onans were discontinued. We bought a Kubota BX2200 and was going to sell the 316, but couldn't even get anyone out to look at it as a perfectly running tractor so we decided to just keep...

So I got the Kubota the other day, and today it got up to about 45 degrees, and there was a foot tall patch of knapweed left over from last season when the 316 quit me. So I fired up that little 3 cylinder diesel, and gave it just a tad more than 1/3 throttle and headed into the knap patch. Man...

So the BX showed up today and I love this thing! The hydro and all is awesome, after wrangling with my 990. I have a question though..... At idle, the hood rattles and drives me nuts.:confused2: I bump the throttle up a bit and the motor runs as butter. Is there any sugestions for stopping the...

I bought a 2005 BX 2200 and am waiting for it to be delivered. I have a manual coming from the dealer. A quick question.... I don't recall there being a tachometer. I recall the hour meter and a fuel meter, but don't recall the tachometer. Is there one on these and if not, can one be added...

Is there any sort of 3 point or draw bar attachment for trenching. Simply cannot afford a back hoe. Not realistic! SO! Do they make any sort of trenching device or am I going to have to build one?

Just wondering if there are any other BX 2200 owners on board. Do you like your BX and what things should I be mindful of as a new owner of one myself, in terms of preventitive maintenance on things that are problem areas for these tractors. Are they a discontinued model that might be hard to...

We're looking at buying a 2001 425 or a 1980 400. The 425 is $5,000 and the 400 is $2,000. Just wondering what the possibilities of finding parts for the 400 are? I like the 400 best, on account of the Kohler motor, which seems to be a bit more industrial than the 425s Kawasaki. Just curious if...

Cast iron bore, or aluminum? Are they a decent engine? They are in the 317 which I'm lining one up to buy..........

You guys were a huge help....... Thanks Man!;)

I have a 1984 John Deer 316 with the Onan B43E series engine in it. It all of the sudden began having a drastically rising oil level as in 5 to 6 inches above the full mark within a half hour of running and then flowing through the crankcase ventilator and flooding the air cleaner and carb with...

Got fed up with no tool storage on my tractor so I created the original "Tractor Closet"! Started out with a chain saw sling from my loader for stowing my saw, then recently added an ammo box to my rops then a shelf between the rops about a foot down from the top. Utilized my canopies U bolts...

Thank you for having me.

My battery is right in front of the radiator, and I have a great deal of corrosion in places. I also hate the accessability of the battery, as the grill is spring loaded and is a hassle to deal with. So I was thinking about moving the battery to sit on the roll bar crossmember just behind the...

I have a john deere 990 with a 430 loader. I noticed that all the pivot points are not insert bushed. I am aware that the pins are likely softer in material than the initial bushings themselves, but was surprised to see that the bushings were not replaceable. Is this typical?

Who do I contact to get permission to do that? Thank you!

I just can't help but say that this is truly one of the real "Friendly Tractor forums"! No **** retentiveness from the moderators here to be seen! I'll be coming around more often now! :thumbsup:

Gotta tell you, it was the best money I ever spent. Forks for the tractor make like a pleasant sweet experience now. Got a bunch of pallets for moving firewood, our generator, compressor and logs etc. These things are awesome!If you haven't got them yet, you simply must go out right now and...

I have a 990 and was just wondering if anyone else out here has one too?

Thank you for having me! I am a refugee from the other "friendly forum" that wasn't so friendly at all! Cleric and pack mentality. I hope I am received here well, because I'd love to make some new friends and talk tractors! Me and my wife own 10 acres, paid for, on the hoodoo creek in the house...
