Blew a couple of hydro hoses....been an ongoing problem....another story. Anyway, had to disconnect 3 of 4 hoses to steering unit under dash...thought I had remembered where each goes. Guess what? I didn't. Steering did not work when repairs were finished. Changed a couple of hoses around on...

Got out my Harbor Freight special wire feed welder this morning and made a bracket to carry the new 25 gal sprayer I just bought. Takes only 2 bolts to install/remove bracket.

Getting ready to search the web for fertilizer spreaders....the kind for small property owners (mine is 3 acres). Any recommendations? BX2200. Immediate need: Need to spread ~2000 lb aluminum sulfate (or equivelent) to bring down pH for starters. Don't know exact amount. No soil test yet...

Out of pure curiousity... Has anyone ever heard of retrofitting small gas engines (those with splash librication, no OEM oil filter) with an oil filter and/or small oil cooler since these engines run pretty darn hot? I suppose that would be difficult since you would have to come up with some...

Good folks, This has been discussed many times, but am attempting to learn even more.... I am saving my nickels and dimes in an attempt to purchase a shop sometime this year. I'm completely out of storage room and my 'toy' collection keeps growing. Here's generally what I'm aiming for: Size...

Anti-Scalp Roller Mod\'s? This question might have fit under the 'custimization' forum, but I thought I might get a more 'Bota focused audience here. Problem: anti-scalp wheels on BX2200 60" deck wear out in 1 season. Right now, plastic wheels are wallowed out and axles are thinned and...

I use Tractorsmart.com for ordering my Kubota parts. They have a parts manual that I downloaded as a PDF. Once I find the part I want in the PDF, I just type it in on the website. The price and description then pops up for me to purchase. VERY easy. I'm looking for a similar site so I can...

Gents, Let's get real for a moment.... how come too many thread ends up as 'mine is better than yours' or ' you are full of ? How many of you have actually stepped back a few days later and re-read some of these silly threads? I joined this group so that I could learn something new. I have more...

Let\'s Talk Sprayers One More Time... Can we discuss sprayers one more time? I've got an itch to get myself a sprayer. I've searched all the previous sprayer threads, and participated in recent threads.....but I still want to learn more....'cause I ain't a bright sort of guy and I need all the...

Both of the yellow flashers on my baby BX have now been destroyed. Before last weekend, I was occassionally re-attaching one of the flashers with epoxy. While mowing this past weekend, I ended up breaking BOTH of the flashers off. This time, I didn't even bother to stop and pick up the...

I jsut ordered a Yamaha YG6600DE generator. Next task is exploring cost and method of installing an elect. xfer switch on the house. The transfer switches I've researched on the web typically have a number of individual breakers thru which the generator power is fed. How does this work? If I...

Adding toys to BX recently....just for fun. Added forward facing trap. light on top of ROPS along with an extra taillight on backside of ROPS. Added cigarette lighter outlet to back. Thinking of adding horn this evening (just to be acting silly). Next additions for which I am seeking advice...

When I mow at ~7/8 throttle on the BX2200, the operating temp. lines out at about 1/8" below the red line - keeps me very concerned and constantly glancing at the gage. I don't know if this is normal for BX's, or if my temp. gage is a little out of calibration, or if it is actually running a...

I need some assistance from a BX owner with manuals. Since I bought my BX2200 back in Feb. (bought it slightly used) it has had a very small hydraulic leak coming from under the deck. I've been just living with the leak since it was so small (1/2 gal. over last 5 months or so). Yesterday, I...

The knob for adjusting the 3ph raising/lowering speed on my BX, located under the seat, is frozen. Can't adjust clock wise or counterclockwise. Has anybody had that problem? Any trick to get it un-frozen or is a trip to the shop in the cards? It's really not a big deal right now - but I'll sure...

Does anyone know the proper procedure for changing the hydro tranny oil in a JD LX 277? The owners manual does not give instructions - it says let a a qualified JD shop handle it. I ain't smart enough to do that. There is no oil plug under the transmission, but there is one on top. There is also...

Just took delivery on a 4' Bush Hog box blade (model SBX480) and a 52" "First Choice" Rotary Tiller (Model RT3452). I believe the box blade to be of good quality - it has 3/8" thk. side walls and is listed at 430 lbs. I took a chance on a lesser known brand of tiller. It appears to be of good...

Did ya'll see the garden tractor review in this month's Popular Mechanics? It was not highly technical (more of a touchy, feely review), but since my JD LX277 won, I feel a little better about the big bucks I spent on it. -R

My new BX2200 just arrived yesterday PM . Unfortunately, my place is a swamp right now with the huge amounts of rain we've received this winter. I'm sure my neighbors laughed last night as I drove up and down the driveway checking her out. Before you ask... I've already updated my profile...

I have a cub Lo-Boy (late 50's model I believe?). It was thrown in with the deal when I bought my property a few years ago. Unfortunately, since my shop space is very limited, it is sitting out in the weather. It bothers me that I've allowed a classic to be treated like that. I think I'm going...

Just today I ordered a Kubota BX2200. Currently, I have a JD LX277 that just finished its 3rd mowing season. The LX has been a great machine - the only repairs have been a couple of belts that wore out mowing 3 acres 9 months out of the year (south Louisiana). If the LX still has a decent value...

Got me a \'Bota Just put a deposit down on a BX2200 with FEL and 60mmm today. Thanks to all the good folks on this forum for the crash course on 'Botas the last few weeks! The boss says I'm acting more giddy than our kids on Christmas morning. How will I survive the 2 week wait 'til it gets...

How\'s this Package? From the great feedback I got on the "In the Hunt for a BX" post, here's the package I've decided to get quotes on: BX2200, 60"mmm, FEL with toothbar and a couple of lifting hooks, 4' Box Blade, 50" rotary tiller, and grill guard. Still debating turf/bar/both and whether or...

Gentleman, I'm the newest kid on the TBN block. Thanks for all the in-depth info on the discussion boards. After 2 yrs of begging/pleading, my boss just gave me a green light to get myself a 'Bota. She even told me not to go cheap - get what you want now, 'cause the generosity may not be there...
