    Help identifying #1 cylinder on BX2350

    Thanks guys! I don’t believe my WSM has that nice cylinder layout diagram, that would have been helpful.

    Help identifying #1 cylinder on BX2350

    Hello All - I'm wanting to do the valve clearance check and need confirmation on which is the #1 cylinder. I have the WSM (page attached) that states the #1 cylinder is nearest the gear case. Are they referring to the fan/water pump end of the engine as being the gear case? The BX has the...

    BX2350: Steering cylinder bad or something else?

    I did get the cylinder taken apart and got the seals replaced. I'm hoping to get it reinstalled tonight to test things out. To answer my previous question, yes the center piston is used to push out the end caps and it does take quite a bit of force to do so. One item I'll contribute to this...

    BX2350: Steering cylinder bad or something else?

    Milkman - Thanks for the pointers so far!! So I took a closer look at the circlip last night and it was pretty apparent that there wasn't sufficient clearance between the cylinder wall and what I'm calling the end cap (see blue line below) to get the clip out. Using a straight punch, I...

    BX2350: Steering cylinder bad or something else?

    Holy procrastination... I started this thread 2 years ago and I finally made the commitment to get this job done!! I have the cylinder off and have a couple of questions to start off with. Are there tips for getting the circlip below out? I'm assuming this is the first step? Also, to...

    BX2750 blower - improvement to the manual chute rotate mount

    I just installed my new-to-me BX2750C on my BX2350. After reading up ahead of time, I was skeptical of Kubota's original idea of mounting the chute rotate handle to the FEL joystick. After using it once, I was convinced it was a bad idea. So I looked over the right side of the machine...

    BX hyd pressure - can't get below 2,000psi

    Like the saying goes "if it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is". A while back I picked up a pressure gauge to test the pressure relief valve setting on my BX2350. It was reading about 1,700psi so I got some shims from the dealer to bump it back up closer to the 1,850 max setting. I put in 0.3mm...

    BX2350: Steering cylinder bad or something else?

    So here we are, 14 months after I started this thread. I'm in the process of switching the BX from summer mode to winter mode and figured this is a good time to look into rebuilding the steering cylinder to (hopefully) get rid of the freeplay. Looking at the parts explosion below, is item G...

    Difference between the BX2750C and D (front blowers)

    I found a used BX2750C blower for my BX2350 tractor. I know the latest model for the blower is the D. Can anyone tell me the differences between the two blower models?

    BX2350: Steering cylinder bad or something else?

    I was doing some yard work yesterday and noticed that when the tires are pointing straight and I slowly turn the steering wheel the tires will not respond. If I turn sharply then they react normally. If the tires are already turned, then they appear to respond to the steering wheel correctly...

    BX-2350 - Abrupt engagement of mid-PTO

    I've owned this machine since it was new. Over the past year or two it seems that when I engage the 60" MMM the engagement is much more abrupt than it used to be. It almost sounds like a muffled bang and there's a cloud of smoke from the exhaust resulting from the partial stall of the engine...

    Retrofitting a garage floor drain system with in-floor heat

    The Background: We converted an exiting pole building that was originally built as living quarters into garage space. Due to the original build intent, the floors do not slope any particular direction. The in-floor heat does a terrific job of melting the snow from the vehicles in the winter...

    BX2350: 4WD appears to lock the rear diff

    When I put the 2350 in to 4wd, the rear tires act like I have the diff lock engaged (inside tire scrubbing during tight turns). I compared 4wd and no diff lock to 2wd with diff lock and the rears act the same in both cases. At first I thought the diff lock was stuck but then I put it into...

    Winter blend - What's the ratio?

    Normally I'd time it to run out of fuel about the time the stations start offering winter blend at the pumps. However, I have a 5 gallon jug of #2 left over from this summer. I can get #1 from the local truck stop and mix my own winter blend. My only question is, what's the typical ratio for...

    Anchoring a wall to a floor with radiant heat

    The slab in my garage is 4" thick and has radiant heat loops running throughout. I'm putting up a new wall and am looking for options to attach the bottom plate to the to the floor. The floor is painted so I'm not convinced that adhesive alone will suffice. I can use concrete screws but how...

    Landscaping: Wood chips or rocks? Edging?

    Finally getting around to putting shrubs in front of our house that we built in '08. Our last houses have always had rock around the shrubs but then I see many others that use wood chips. Initially I'm leaning towards rock primarily to make fall clean up easier by just using a blower to get...

    How often to aerate??

    I have a 48" tow behind plug aerator it is such a s-l-o-w process so I'm not really inclined to do it more than I have to. We have about 1/2 acre of lawn and another 2 acres of yard. So far I've been aerating the lawn around the house only in the fall. Should I be aerating in the spring as...

    Grading  BX2350 and a 5 foot box blade

    I've been searching for a used 4' box blade for quite some time but there just doesn't seem to be any out there. Now I've come across a pretty good deal on a 5' King Kutter (full size yellow type) that I'm considering. I'm planning to use it for some actual earth moving chores with our...

    Looking at a small disc harrow

    We have about 2-3 acres of lawn where I need to loosen the soil and smooth it some before I reseed the whole thing. I'll also be looking for some type of pull behind drag of some type for the final smoothing. Wifey also wants me to look into getting a tiller for her new garden. I'm hoping to...

    Chains  Chains for BX front turf tires

    The front tires on my BX2350 are 18x8.50-10. I had TSC order some 2-link chains for them and what came in were advertised on the box to fit 18x9.50-8 or 19x9.50x8 sized tires. I went to put them on and there is way too much slack in the axial direction. On the inside of the tires they...

    Need a shear assembly for my PTO shaft

    I bought a used Snow King (Allied/Buhler) 3PH blower, 60", and discovered the PTO shaft doesn't have the shear bolt assembly on it. See item 1 on pages 12 and 13 on this link: Page 13: 50" & 60" Allied Snowblower User Manual - Buhler Industries Inc. The implement end of the shaft says it's a...

    Grading  Snowblower: 3 or 4 blade fan??

    I'm getting ready to order a new Allied 3PH blower for my BX2350. I'm looking at the 50" which has a 13" fan. It can be had with either a 3 or 4 blade fan. What are the advantages/disadvantages to 3 blades versus 4 blade? Also, I'm considering moving up to a 60" which has a 15" fan but it...

    Snowblower  Used Loftness snowblower

    My dealer has a used Loftness 60" 3PH blower for sale that I'm going to take a look at this weekend. I'll check the bearings for wear and look closely at the fan and surface it sits in. What other areas can be a concern for a blower? Any comments on these blowers? I searched here and there...
