I buy the Chevrolet engine paint from Bill Hirsch Auto Parts 396 Littleton Ave, Newark, NJ 07103. (973) 642-2404 Bill Hirsch Engine Enamel $42 per quart plus shipping. however, it is a lifetime supply. When storing paint, turn the can over every few months to keep the solids from gathering at...

Open the ball valve that you installed when the original control failed. You should have heat. If you don't, then it might be low on coolant, or the heater core could be air-bound and not allowing the coolant to flow through it. If that is the case, then check with your dealer service...

From the Messicks website... Kubota #K7571-62103 STARTER SWITCH,ASSY.

Go to www.messicks.com and in the search field type in " LX2610 " and press enter on your keyboard. That will bring up all the factory parts catalogs for your tractor. Unfortunately, I didn't see one for the cab. If your cab was manufactured by Curtis Cab Company of Worcester MA, then you can...

Look for an inline fuse mounted somewhere around the battery. You might even have to remove the battery to see it because sometimes they are behind the battery hiding from view.

I have the same question, and was wondering which would be better on a BX23S, the Kubota unit that is a diverter unit, or the Land Pride that is a true 3rd function option. Looking for some people that have real world experiences with either of these units.

Junkman should ask for a royalty, since he had done the same thing in 2003! I found the original thread, and copied the picture. (BX 3 point hitch arms) These were modified from standard Kubota parts from a larger tractor. The original design was developed by a fellow named CharlieBrn. Both of...

I believe that you are either not using the Locktite product correctly, or not using the correct Locktite product. I would suggest Vibra-Tite Blue Threadlocker for the set screws. Make sure that there is no oil, grease, or any other contaminates in the threaded holes. I like to clean them...

Took my back hoe off my BX22 today, and installed the 3 point hitch. The arms will lift and lower, but as soon as I put the weight box onto the lower arms, the tractor was unable to lift the weight box. Never had a problem like this before. Both the loader and the backhoe were working fine...

The FEL on my BX 22 are leaking, and I was thinking of repairing them myself. I don't have the factory service manual, so might someone that has done this project already, give me some guidance? Also, is there a less expensive place to purchase the seals than getting them from the local Kubota...

I need to put the 3 point hitch on a BX22, but don't have a copy of the instruction or parts manual. Does anyone have a copy that they could scan and email to me? I need to know what to put into the center hole on the triangular piece that goes over the pins that the arms slip over. The part...

I have had the problem of the hydraulic couplers coming apart for no reason for many years, and have never found a reason for this happening. I can be using the backhoe, and shut the machine down for lunch, and when I come back, one of the couplers will have uncoupled. It happened again...

I am looking for some pictures of the Curtis hard side Cab that is used on the older Kubota BX 1500/1800/2200/BX22 series tractors. I would like to see how the windows mount on the doors and what they used to stop the doors from swinging out to far. I am thinking of converting my soft sided...

I have been having a problem with breaking shear bolts in the fan assembly of my BX2750, and have been replacing them with the OEM shear bolts. Seems that the blower doesn't like chunks of ice. After the last time, it bent the tip of the fan assmebly, and I straightened it. The second time it...

I am thinking of selling my BX Sweeper and was wondering of the value of it. It is about 3 or 4 years old, and has spent almost all of its life in the garage. I used it for sweeping the driveway 2 or 3 times. We are looking at downsizing the home, and the new home we are looking at has a...

Today, I removed the front mounted Kubota snow blower from my BX22 and tried to install the Kubota front mounted sweeper. The sweeper will go onto the front hitch, but I can't get the locking latch to engage when I pull on the lever. I had the same problem last fall with the snow blower, but...

I had some moisture in the loader valve on a BX22, and took the bottom cap off. When I did that, not only did the moisture come out, but the 4 small balls, 1 large ball, and the spring also fell out. I reassembled them with some white grease like the dealer said, but now, the lever won't stay...

The 3 point hitch on my BX22 isn't working. I have no idea when it stopped, since I just got around to installing my weight bucket. I removed the loader valve from the system and set it as originally used without loader valve in place. I have allowed the machine to come up to temperature, and...

Took the loader off the BX22 a couple of weeks ago and today got around to putting on the BX front mount snowblower. I tried the Quick Hitch in both up and down prior to mounting the blower and it worked perfectly. Installed the blower, and now the valve won't lift the blower. Fiddled with it...

Found this today, and thought that others might enjoy the logic.... :D If you’re skeptical of Santa’s abilities to deliver presents to millions of homes and children in just one night, North Carolina State University’s Dr. Larry Silverberg, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, can...

I have dumped Norton from my computer, and now, I can't get the Smilies or the spell checker to work. Anyone have any idea as to what setting might have been changed to effect this problem. Thanks Dusty

It starts out with a picture of a tractor, so it is tractor related. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from my family to yours. May we all wish for peace and happiness in the new year. Dusty A Silent Night Movie

I finally finished the assembly of my 4 post lift and once I got the stubborn nut problem resolved, it all went well. The lift works great, but there is only one problem. I told the salesman that the car had a 144.5 inch wheelbase and he said that it would fit fine. When I put the car on the...

I have been reading the forums today, and it seems that tempers are starting to flair and people are getting unusually hostile toward each other. I have even seen old friends starting to go for the jugular vein. Is it the season, the weather, or did I just pick the wrong posts? Seems that...

I am trying to assemble my 4 post car lift and have run into a problem. The hydraulic cylinder is threaded and there is a locking nut that needs to be screwed onto it. The shaft doesn't have any flats to grab hold of, and when I attempt to put the nut on with the impact wrench, it will only go...

Seems that every year the wood pellet brands that local stores carry keep changing. This year, I wasn't able to get my full inventory from my normal dealer since he was sold out. I picked up additional pellets from Walmart that are two different brands. I have Future Fuel, which burns well...

While cleaning my BX mower for the end of season storage, I started to think about the metal strap that goes across the lower edge of the right hand side of the mower deck. It is my guess that this strap is to increase lift of the grass on the right hand side of the deck to help the grass...

What ever happened to the old days of 10, 20, & 30 weight non detergent oil? Back then, it came in a glass jar at the filling station island. You didn't need to be a chemist to know what oil to put into your car. If it was summer and 100 degrees, you used the 30 weight. 10 weight for the...

My BX has the 905 engine with the block heater that screws into the right side of the block. I want to add a heater to the tractor and use this 1" NPT hole to be the return line as in this picture. I also don't want to give up the block heater, so I was wondering if anyone knew the diameter of...

In preparation for winter, I made the final cut and mulched all the leaves. It has been raining for the past couple of days, and today, when I went out, look where I found the grass is growning.

Since the introduction of the new ULSD fuel, have they also reformulated the home heating oil to also be low sulfur? If so, how will this new formulation effect the performance and reliability of the oil burner itself? I also wonder if they are now using the ULSD in locomotives. I know that...

I have a BX2537 Rotary Broom / Sweeper that is taking up valuable real estate in my garage. I am contemplating getting a larger tractor this coming spring, so it is time to start divesting myself of the BX accessories. New it cost $1650 approximately. It is in like new condition. Any...

Just finished my last cut before winter. I cut it at 2" and the leaves will blow across the grass without getting caught in the grass. I was wondering if this might be too short. What length do you make the final cut at??? thanks Dusty

I just read this article about how the newly formulated oils have reduced zddp, which is a anti wear additive. It might not effect your newer tractor engines, but it might effect your older engines. This concerns gasoline engines mostly. Dusty

I picked up a used Kubota bagger and when I tried to put the deck boot on the chute deflector will not stay up. Is this part supposed to come off the mower deck when you use the boot. How do you keep it out of the way. How does it come off/ Dusty

I need the inside measurement of the square tube that holds the wheels on the front of the BX2537 sweeper. Does anyone have one that they can measure for me? I found the picture in another post. You can see the square tube on the right side. thanx

I recently came across a Flail mower and couldn't resist taking it. It was almost FREE! Now that I have it, I need to learn the way they work and all the safety issues with it. I am planning to use it to keep the area under the power lines on my property clear of brush. In the last 10 years...
