kubota bx23

I have a BX2750 snow blower I am purchasing. It has has a bad sprocket drive. The bad parts are: sprocket chain and driveshaft / sprocket. Kubota parts didn't show one of the sprockets. Are all 3 parts part of the BX2750 snow blower ? I have to buy the rest of the parts to put this on my...

When you remove the backhoe you have two hydraulic lines on the tractor. One is male one is female. Is there any reason not to connect them together to keep the dirt out ? I'm talking about the ones on the tractor, not the backhoe. I somehow think bad things will happen.

i recently purchased a Kubota BX 23. I would like to pick up a single bottom plow for it. Does anyone know if a Brinley plow designed for an older cub cadet can be adapted to use on this tractor?

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...

I was using my BX23 all day, york raking, and all of sudden it stated sputtering. touching the treadle (to go forward) made it sputter. I figured it was fuel starved so I lowered the throttle very low and started climbing up the 1200' driveway. After a while I got tired of this and went back to...

I have a Land Pride York rake which is going to be sold with a John Deere 950 tractor. I tried it out on the BX23 (whose front wheel drive axle is currently dead). My 1200' driveway is quite hilly and has to bends in it. Well the Land Pride rake worked quite well. The 3 point hitch on the...

I think the left rear wheel is tight. When I jack up the tractor on the backhoe and shut it down and and put it in neutral the left wheel is very hard to turn where as the right wheel is easy to turn. Both front wheels are easy to turn (it's in permanent 2 wheel drive) backing off the left...

These are the 6' models: Sf2566 230# scarifier, LR1572 260# rake, and wheels. I own this and I was going to sell it with my JD950, but I'm wondering that it might work with my BX23 and I'm thinking of keeping it. It does weight a bit much compared to other York rakes.

I'm interested in a back blade for crowning my gravel driveway. I can't find a back blade which can tilt. That is drop the right hand side and raise the left hand side. Does anyone make a blade that does that for a BX23. Can the 3 PT hitch tilt it enough to do it ? This really needs a hydraulic...

BX23 front drive shaft needs repair. Any ideas ? I have no front wheel drive. Everything looked fine except for the end of the drive shaft which connects to the transmission. The transmission has a spline shaft. The drive shaft has a an extension which is either pinned and / or welded which...

My BX23 goes up hills ok but when I was using the FEL it would stall without the wheels breaking out. This seems strange to me. It has 1300 hours, and was just through Kubota for inspection. It's a neat little tractor, I got it Sunday at a good price.

Any help is cool need to remove engine cover BX23

People seem to like the BX23. It seemed only to be produced from 2004 to 2005. Then BX24 production started. Many like the BX23 because there is more metal.

Can I buy a Kubota snowblower for the BX23 from Kubota new ? Does anyone know the price ? I'm trying to close a deal which today which is why I'm not just calling a dealership.

I was going to buy a 5' Countyline Rotary Cutter for my Kubota BX23 but wasn't sure if it would be to big for it. How do you folks feel?

I got a BX23 last year and it came with a mower and brand new turf tires (with rims). As much as I would like to try them out I still don't have grass--I'm still playing in the dirt. :) I plan to sell the machine when my yard's in. Should I start selling accessories I don't need? How much would...

My bx has been dripping oil out of the crankshaft seal behind the flywheel. I finally got tired of cleaning up after it. Pulling the flywheel did not require a puller, BUT be sure to mark the flywheel so that it goes back on in the same position that it came off. Two self drilling sheet metal...

Like many others on this forum, I've wiped out the HST fan on my Kubota. The removal of the old fan went very smoothly since I didn't have any blades to get in the way. I need help now with the replacement of the fan. Do I need to disassemble one of the couplings on the propeller shaft to gain...

Hello, Haven't been here in a while. My BX23 has been acting up lately with it idle, doesn't matter if it's cold or fully warm up. Yesterday, after completed the snow throwing job, I went and put the BX back down in idle but the engine started to choke and die, had to re-start but will die...

I was copying my serial Nos. and such down into my manual for my BX25, and the engine had "D902-E3" and said BX23, instead of the "D902-E2-BX-2" that was printed in the manual. What gives?

I'm checking out the log splitter from NorthernTool. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience hooking this up to a BX23 and what I might need or run into? Thanks!!

I bought the BXpanded work lights and I can't find the connectors that are suppose to be behind the left tail light on the bx23. I opened up the conduit that the wires are in and as far as my fingers can go I can't find the connectors. I'm thinking they are in the harness where the 2 wires for...

Does anyone know if there is a good aftermarket sand bucket for my BX23? What I mean by sand bucket is a wide (24" would be good) but short toothless bucket for backing up to ditches and cleaning out accumulated muck. My 12" is too slow and the muck slides through the teeth.

Hi all, new poster here, looked around and couldn't find answer to my specific problem. Have 2004 Bx23 with 800 hrs which I beat to **** and just keeps going. Aside from air filter support and light switches, I've had no problems, except 2 annoying issues. One, the darn key just drops right...

I was surfing through some forums where one guy had posted this: "From a review I was able to find, a Kubota BX23 tractor was able to pull 750LBs in 2WD, 1420 in 4WD, 1760 in 2WD w/ 600LBs of ballast, 1920 in 4WD with 600LBs of ballast, and it has an operating weight of 1520." I thought it...

Recently I've noticed that my BX23 shift/speed lever won't go all the way into high gear (rabbit). It goes about 1/3 of the lever travel and stops there. There's nothing in the way of the linkage. It also pops out of gear which is not surprising. Low range works fine. Any thoughts would be...

I've pretty much decided to get a rear mounted snow blower for my bx23. I saw a few threads that said how nice cruise control is with a rear blower. Can a cruise control be added to a BX23? Thanks

Today while moving brush got a stick caught up in the HST fan. Some interesting sounds and white plastic fan blades on the ground. Advice on replacing this fan much appreciated. Thanks

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 i am looking for a removable cab for a BX23.Doesn't have to be new,just in good working shape.

There is a used rear mount snowblower for sale that is pretty reasonable. Six feet long and 30" high. The person selling it does not know the make and model. came off a ford and is blue so I assume it is a ford. I assume this is way to big for a BX23 but just wanted to ask.

Well I finally got around to driving into the creek. (sorry no pic) In the tall grass as I was turning around I drove straight in about four foot deep with two ft. of water. The back wheels were still on the bank, front wheels half way down, bucket under water in the mud. Now what? Couldn稚...

I bought a BX23 last year specifically to use the MMM. My two acre yard was too large and steep to safely use a regular mower. The tractor also included a FEL and BH. I figured at 22hp it should be able to climb my sloped back yard easily. However I found it had difficulty after operating it for...

Hey all, looking at a used BX23 for $15k. I just want to make sure (at least I can tell my wife) that I could resell in a year after a bunch of projects without losing too much. What do you think? Thanks. This would be my first. The ad says: "2004 BX 23 with 527 hours. This is a 23 HP Kubota...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had tried installing cruise control on a BX23, now that the 24 & 25 have them, OR... Would it be better to use the seat belt slot and try the 2230 cruise control? Thanks Bryan

I have tried every depth setting and it will only go down about 2 inches. That means my grass is 5 inches tall. Please help.

Hi all, I own a little BX23 which I loan to one and all. I am a single woman and I've found that the more helpful a person is, the more help you get in return. I loaned my BX23 to a neighbor and never noticed that the 4x4 train was damaged until I went to use the tractor yesterday. I'm not...

Which would you reccomend? They are basically the same hp and specs. different color.

Hi everyone. My BX23 was serviced in the late fall and was running great. Used it during our last big snow storm in December and it sat for most of the winter. The BX23 starts right up and runs strong, except when I start to move it over a certain speed it stalls. So, if I creep along it will...

I wasn't payin enough attention and bent the lower edge of the loader bucket down about 1.5" in the center, can't seem to get it back to straight. Any suggestions??

Most snow I've moved with my BX23 in the 5 years I've owned it. Just came in from plowing 6 to 7 inches off the driveway with the FEL. Had about 2 or 3 inches of solid ice in several places. Have AG tires no chains not filled / traction was great . Invited my wife in on the fun by inviting her...

Well I have had a BX23 for a while 310 hours and have replaced the outer air filter several times. Where is the inner air filter and how often are you supposed to change it?

I have the ability to purchase from a Kubota dealer a BX24 (LA243 loader & BT600 backhoe) that has the updated plastic and between a BX23 (LA210 loader and BT600 BH). Both tractors are under 100 hours and in very good condition. Price is about a $1000 difference. This will be my first tractor...

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...

I have a BX23 with 1400+ hours. I want to replace the tires. I'm currently running the OEM lug tires. Does anyone have a comparison between the lug tires and the R4 tread design? I know the BX24 went to the R4 design. I use the BX for lawn care in the summer and snow plowing the driveway and...

Does any one have an electronic copy of the GCK60-BX Owners Manual (BX-23 Grass Catcher)? I just bought a used one and want to hook it up? It looks simple but I would feel better following the directions. One is in the mail but I want to cut the grass now. Thanks, Joe

Anyone had the threaded rod bend going into the top link on the 3PH? The threads are barely exposed on either end, but it's bent and jammed in the assembly. Happend using a landsape rake, nothing excessive. Is this a common occurrance on this style of link?...The one on my 8N never had an issue...

i know the cat 1 implements w/work but how about the backhoe, undermount grass cutter, grass catcher, snowblower w/powerlift. I'm thinking not but you folks would know better than I. I'm considering a larger tractor. Dont like the thought of having to start over again gathering the implements.

BX23 HYDRAULICS SUDDENLY FAILED PLENTY OF FLUID NO BROKEN LINES MOWER LIFT IN NUETRAL WAS SERVICED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO EVERYTHING WORKING FINE FRONT BUCKET WILL WORK VERY VERY SLOWLY BUT MMM AND BACKHOE HAVE NOTHING ANYONE HAVE IDEAS THANKS

For you BX23 owners out there, I have a question regarding the float position. I realize on most tractors that have the float position feature when you push the joy stick up into the float position, it "detents" and stays there until you physically pull it out of that position. On my BX23, it...

Going tomorrow to look at a 2005 Kubota BX23 with front end loader, backhoe, 5' landscape rake and disc. Asking $13,800 It has 300Hrs on it. Is that a fair price? I know the BX line sometimes say BX23 (2320 2350) So is this just a BX2300? What does the last two numbers stand for? What...

Anyone know where I can get a FEL toothbar for a BX23. The standard ones are 48" ID on the BX bucket is 46 3/8 ID. I know I could cut and weld, but I'd like one that fits correctly.

By now I think I realize just how different BX23 rear end from the rest of the BXs is. Two questions Where do I get the correct top link? What else is different on the BX23 with respect to getting add-ons?

I searched to no avail and I currently do not have an owner's manual. pic (from BX24) attached

I have a Wallenstein BX42 chipper. When I engage the PTO, I first bring the engine speed to idle, engage the PTO and then raise the engine speed back to full. The flywheel in the chipper is something on the order of 80 to 100 pounds and I am worried that I might slice the shear bolt, engaging...

Was operating the tractor a few days ago - all was fine. Shut it off to some things and when started and pushed the pedal forward it was like the parking brake was on. Checked and it wasn't. It has a slow sluggish start in forward and reverse. Also seems to have some loss of power with the...

Hey guys, first post here...about to become an owner of a BX23..very excited, but have a concern. The tractor currently has a front blade and what I think is the mounting point for an FEL called LA210. I spoke with a seller (dealer) about adding a loader and he didn't think they could order one...

I've owned my BX2660 for almost a year now and have educated myself (with your help) about tractors in general and Kubotas in particular. I'm currnently looking at a low hour BX23 that is at a price that sounds too good to be true. Is there anything that wouldn't be obvious that would make this...

There is a backhoe for a bx 23 on the pensacola craigslist for $1800. Looks like it might be a good buy for somebody. I don't know them nor I have I seen it so I can't give you any info on it.

Could someone that has done the alternator upgrade check the new one for a Denso/Hitachi/Etc. number so it could be cross-referenced? I would like to do the upgrade, but with a job on hiatus, looking to save a little.

Can any one check these dimensions for me? http://www.tractorbynet.com/photos/data/500/BX23_BACKHOE_MOUNT_DIMENTIONS2.JPG and http://www.tractorbynet.com/photos/data/500/BX23HOEBUCKETSIDEMOUNT.JPG tom

Is a 5' Bush Hog going to be too big for my tractor? I've done a lot of searching through the archives (and Google), and it seems there are a few people running them. But I have to wonder if it's a good choice. I've found a used 5' in reportedly good condition that's a little more than half the...

I have a BX23 with about 500 hrs. on it. I use the backhoe and loader mostly to dig ditches and move dirt. Here lately, when the backhoe or loader bottoms out...say at the end of a lift, or if there is a lot of pressure on the bucket or the loader...there is a loud squeal that doesn't stop...

I'm in the process of purchasing a used BX24 and will be picking it up Tuesday. I also found a snowblower being sold that fits a BX23 but am not sure it will fit a BX24. We (snowblower owner and me) checked with two Kubota dealers and got different answers. One said yes, the other said it would...

This may have been asked before, but is there existing wiring near the ROPS for a rear work light?...If so where is it...I really don't want to run a bunch of wire if I don't need to..And does it tie into the headlights, or do I need another switch...Digging by 4way is no fun:D

Has anyone thought of extending the lenght of the arms on the loader of a BX23 to get more height? I need to get 8 feet if possible to load the truck. It looks like it might be easy to do by removing the two pivot pins and lengthening the mount on the bucket. any thoughts? TIA, Kip

I have read here the hyd pressure for the BX 24 and 25 is 1849psi and would like to find out for a friend if the BX 23 is the same. We are thinking of checking his also. Thanks.

We're having a great experience with one we're borrowing right now. We think we may just buy one. I know, I kinda say that a lot, but what could be expected for asking and taking prices? Thanks for any help! Kyle

Hello, First time on the site. I bought a used bx23 last week, I was on a down grade and when I put it in reverse to climb back up the incline it didn't want to go. Wheels were not spinning. I was first in 2 wheel high, went to 4 wheel high and then even 4 wheel low. BX has about 200hours. I did...

Hey gusy - just got to play a little with my recently purchased bx23 and noticed two things - wondering if they are commonly know because I cannot find them in a search... 1. When dismounting the backhoe, the upper mounts of the BH catch the inner corner of the fender and the sheetmetal gusset...

I've just about settled on buying a BX23 or BX24 to train myself up on using a TLB before I move to retirement, where I know I'll need something twice as big. Based on Barlow prices I'm expecting to pay about 12K plus for a low hour BX24. My SWAG is that a low hour BX24 might depreciate about...

I have been seriously thinking of buying a tiller for my BX23. I am in New England and the soil can be rocky sometimes but the land I would be using it on mostly is not too bad. From what I have read I believe I would like to get a reverse rotation tiller. Having it side adjust would be nice...

I REALLY LIKE the idea of having the seat belt when operating the backhoe, which the BX23 does not offer.I was wondering if anyone has tried to upgrade this / knows what might be involved parts wise? Is the BX24 seat belt attached to the seat itself or to the fame? Would I need the lift & swivel...

I currently own a 2wd 17hp grey market Yanmar which has been good to me. However, I am looking for something that can do more. I have been looking at Kubota B and BX models. I like the BX's because they can be used as a workhorse and cutting grass around the house. Anyway I found a couple of...

Well now that I have a BX23 with all its toys the missing piece of the puzzle is what to do about leaves. I have about 17 acres to deal with and it is half wooded. Leaves are the single biggest annual time-suck to contend with. It takes days and days. And if you do not stay ahead, the problems...

Brother just picked up a cherry little 22 HP BX23 with loader and backhoe; 82 hrs on it. He was wondering if Rotella "T" 5W-40 would be okay. Being a J-D green guy, I'm not sure about questions related to orange :D but I'm sure it'll work fine. According to the WIX site it looks like the...

My BX23 is 4 years old and has less than 250 hours on it. A few months ago it started having trouble pulling its own weight up a steep incline. The HST would start to make an increasingly louder growl that would lead to a loud chattering that would stop it's forward movement. (At least I think...

Sorry - Typo - Heading should read BX23 and BH not moving The last time I used my Kubota BX23 everything was OK. When I went to use it today, the empty FEL struggled to move up and would not go down until I put the lever all the way forward to the float position. The BH won't move. I looked...

Well, after 3 years and 170 hours, the bx23 needs to go. I bought it to do work on my 2/3 acre, but ended up hiring the work out. My kids ended up taking all my time.

Since my BX23 still won't shut down with the key( I attached a cord to the fuel cut off lever) I need to test the cut off solenoid, but can't find it. By the way, when I turn the key to the off position, the revs seem to go up very slightly.( the fuses are all ok, though the seat cut off switch...

Hi, Has anyone made dollies to store and move around the BX23's FEL & BH? If so do you have any pictures? I want to leave the PTO Grass catcher on and be set up to cut grass with out having to remove the BH & FEL everytime I want to cut grass. Thanks!

I was thinking today about the BX23 and what she has done over the last 4.5 years. With just short of 900 hours up. Problems. Buster a couple of hydraulic lines. Many punctures. Neutral selection safety switch fail. Light and flasher switch failures. Fuse panel corroded due battery fumes...

I have a BX23 and have misplaced the owners manual. I've never removed the mower deck, but would like to do so now. I remember that the procedure didn't seem to be involved when I first heard, but that's been a while and I don't remember the details. Does anyone have a reference they can point...

I have 2 payments left on my BX23 (168 hours)! Sadly, that means it's out of warranty too. I currently have the following problems: 1. Broken air filter mount. I know, common. 2. electrical: the machine is left out doors and all 3 rocker switches are having problems. The blinker switch keeps...

Does anyone happen to know the size and type (NPT, whatever) of the threaded fitting that is the return to tank on the right side of the hydrostatic? It's plugged from the factory, located behind the right rear tire. I'm working on a powerbeyond circuit that will need a separate dump to...

With the lack of any meaningful seat time coupled to a chance find of a long lost and serviceable AM/FM/CD radio out in the shop, the BX23 has yet again provided me with brief respite from the doldrums of cabin fever and I'll get to be jamm'n w/the tunes come the warmer days. :D The...

2005 Kubota BX23 Farm Equipment for sale at USFarmer.com Don't know if this is still available, but ran across this USFARMER.COM. It looks like a good deal for someone.

This is the 2nd time this has happened. In cold weather only. When finished snowthrowing, the engine won't shut off when the key is turned to off position. First time it quit after a few seconds, today(now) it just keeps running. What can I disconnect to get it to turn off? Thanks, Larry

Are there any 3rd party front mount snowblowers out there that would fit a bx23? Local dealers have quoted $2500-2800 for new kubota blowers. A bit high for my budget. They have a rear mount Puma for 1600-1800 but I hate driving backwards. Any advice appreciated

Was considering a second set of wheels and tires for future projects, and was wondering about puttin' a set of BX24 rims and tires on my BX23. Apparently they fit, as I saw a picture somewhere here where someone did it... My question is, with regards to maintaining proper "lead" between the...

I posted a thread in August about my float position not working. I bought a used BX23 with 100 hours on it. I didn't know it had a "float position". After seeing other threads about floating with the BX23 I asked about mine not working. People were kind enough to respond, and I looked at...

This is how I spent my fall vacation the week before Thanksgiving. My parents were taking out the old above ground jet pump and well house and putting in a submersible pump. It was way overdue, you should have heard the noise that old pump made. Dad said he was going to just rent a trencher...

Folks, I thought I'd post one of my all time favorite pictures featuring two things that I've enjoyed immensely. First, my 100 yr old grandmother (she was 99.75 yrs when I took this picture). The second (way behind the first), of course is the machine. Her size makes the BX look like a real...

I went to use my tractor this weekend used it to get log splitter out it worked ok I went to use the loader and it would raise but not go down unless I hit float position. Backhoe nothing working, The loader bucket seems ok I put my test guage in line and am getting 1700+ psi to loader...

I was able to get delivered free about 100 yds of mixed crushed rock from a construction site up the road. It is the same base material that the state used when they opened a quarry to build the interstate 50 years ago. I'm on a down slope and the mound is about 12' high when measured on the...

Do you think this would work Prince PTO Tractor Pump 11.4 GPM, Model# HC-PTO-2A | Pumps | Northern Tool + Equipment I had the idea of running the output off the BH remotes to the input of the auxilary pump and the output of the auxilary pump to the log splitter and the return from the splitter...

How do you start a BX23 with a bum neutral start switch? I want to get the tractor down off the hill into my heated garage to replace the switch, but the problem is how do I move it from where it's setting into the garage when the switch won't let me start it??? I think when I replace it I will...

Has anybody considered trying to alter the bx23 brake system to use the brakes as truning brakes? I use my tractor to backdrag a lot and would like to have more directional control. This would also help with snow removal with the back blade. I really dislike having to stop and realign the...

I wash my tractor this thursday, cleaning under hood and battery compartment as well. I used the gardenhose. This morning when I went out to do some chores before changing the oil, the battery was dead. I used a start now jumper box, and ran it most of the day, then I put it away and put a...

New to the forum and really appreciate all the info I have found without asking till now. I was looking at a used BX23 today with 250 hrs on the clock. It looked great, except when I started it it vibrated violently when at idel. When I reved up the RPM's a bit it stopped. Is this normal? This...

Hi yall, I have been lurking here for awhile and found a wealth of info here, great site, thanks. Anyway, was looking at a used bx23 today with 250 hrs on it. It looked great except when ideling it vibrated pretty violently. When I reved up the RPM's a bit it stopped. Is this normal? Also this...

Fall takes a literal connotation around my humble abode. And it doesn't take long for my still green lawn to get totally covered in Maple, Oak, Dogwood and varous other leaves. It makes for a colorful Holloween display but tain't very good for the grass so getting them picked up and deposited...

Those of you who have upgraded from a BX to the B3030, are you happy with this swap? Do you have any regrets moving up in size? I am considering moving up to a B3030 from a BX23. I do not use the backhoe much and think I would prefer the smoother ride and 3 range HST of the B3030. Also does...

I was wondering if anyone had to replace their transmission on the BX23? Someone I know who leased their BX23 said they had to replace it as it failed. I posted my machine acting slow on another post and was wondering if the transmission would affect the the speed of a BH and FEL

Background: I used the quotes around "upgrade" because my BX23 has been such a super machine...but here's the scoop... Over the last couple of years I've done some snow removal for the local homeowners association with my BX23 and Kubota snowblower. This year the association approached me...

I get two different stories from 2 different dealers regarding the current model snow blower , 2750c, fitting my BX23. One guy says I need a 2750B blower and related BX23 parts(shaft kit and quick hitch kit),or a longer drive shaft for use with the 2750C because the shaft is more offset on the...

As the service manager said, I had a "catestropic gear failure" of the transmission of my BX 23 at 225 hours. In frustration after 3 weeks I went to see the management of the dealer and sent an e-mail to Kubota. Result, we found that the replacement gears would be another 3 weeks arriving from...

My BX23 seems to work in slow motion when using the backhoe and the FEL doesn't seem as strong. I checked the hydro fluid and the level was perfect. The oil was changed during a few months ago during a full service check at my Kubota dealer. One day this summer I was digging holes for a deck...

I am pleased to announce that I made the trade yesterday, dealer dropped off my new B3030 with LA403 with reinforced bucket and 3 hooks, BH75 with a single hook on the bucket, 60" mmm, 72" front blade with quick hitch, 4 work lights and loaded tires, (bagger is on back order) and took away my...

My check goes out today for my new B3030, loader, BH, 60" MMM, Bagger, chain hooks on bucket and on BH, 4 work lights, and of course, the new seat. I am excited beyond belief. I am sorry to see my BX23 go but I am looking forward to fun fall with my new machine. I will be repleat with...

:eek: :( Hello I was cleaning and looking everything over last night and the motor looked to be moving more thatn usual at low RPM, so off the brush guard came as well as the sidepanels and much to my suprise I found the front right hand motor mount to be broken. Has anyone else had this problem...

Hello all I have a tow year old BX23 with 265 hours almost trouble free (Air cleaner strap broke @ 200 hours) my problem is that the hydraulic lift has never returned to the neutral position the tractor just loads up until I return the lever to the neutral position by hand. Is this something...

Well I thought I had my BX23 hydraulic vent leak cured but it is back. While mowing this weekend I caught that wonderful aroma of smoking hot hydraulic fluid. I tipped the seat back and sure enough there is hydraulic fluid bubbling out of the vent. I let the tractor sit overnight, checked the...

Are the hyrdaulic fittings on the boom cylinders threaded into the cylinder or welded? I bent mine so now the coupling is rubbing the cylinder. I tried to remove the fitting, but it would not budge, and did not put so much pressure on it that I would snap it off if welded. Can I just bend it...

I have been away from this forum for a while. I am glad to see it is still alive and kicking. I have a 2005 BX23 with around 200 hours. I don't normally fill the tank right to the top, but this last time the can was nearly empty anyway so I filled it to about an inch of the top. It's down a...

Folks, Make a long story short. Bought the BX in late 03. Started on the backyard in 04, so far completed the patio in 05, The backyard is taking shape, can't wait till it's done but then again yard's work is never done!!!! Cheers!!! Alex

When I was checking the oil on my BX24 today I noticed that the label on the engine says "BX23". :eek: What gives? Jeff

I posted here a few weeks ago that I could not stop hydraulic fluid from finding its way out of the relief under the seat. Well I spoke with the dealer and he said that the fluid is either over full or for some reason over heating. Well, I swear up and down that I checked the fluid, found it...

I am happy to report that my BX23 is running like a champ. Right around 200 hours of work and going strong. Yard looks great and the new deer food plot already has visitors. BUT, I am having a problem with a few drips from the vent under the seat. After mowing the last couple times I noticed...

Not a big deal but wanted to chime in because ... who knows ... Bought "baby" in Dec'04, new. Did regular service my self. No real probs otherwise. In the attached pic, note a cord holding the air filter in position. It has been happy for some time now, so am I. Just changed the motor...

Got my Bro-tek order in this week and I got the thumb and both skid plates on. Super easy installs, looks great and perfect fit. I'll be putting the skid plates to the test soon when I start brush hogging! (my first time, can't wait! :D ) Just in time too, as I just got my Howse 48" mower...

Hello, I have searched and read on here about starting problems on the BX series. But what I have found does not seem to solve my problem... I turn the key and all the dash lights light up (battery, temp & glow). I checked /jumped both seat switches and hear a click when I sit on the seat. I...

Anyone else experience a problem getting the backhoe top link to disengage/engage with the subframe. On my BX23, there are two metal catch links that are suppose to wrap around and lock into the top of the tractor frame. I believe the bottom catch link is the only one that moves. The one on the...

I like the idea of a front mounted brush cutter for my BX23, skidsteer style. Could get a gas powered unit form Northern Tool and adapt it to the bucket frame or use a hydraulic cutter with a PTO pump. Would beat having to ride over the brush with my low clearance before whacking it with a 3ph...

Gents, I need to know if the quick hitch and drive shaft that came with a BX2750B blower for a new BX1500 will fit or can be adapted to my BX23. Thanks, Rusty

Check it out... I don't know why ... I was just driveing on a flat road when BANG.... The back wheel fell off... Why ???

I have a small patch of field I want to rototill for a garden. I am being lazy and want to use my BX23 instead of doing it by hand. I no longer own a rototiller for this tractor but have access to a 6' rototiller I can use. Is this to much for the little BX? I am probably going to try it anyway...

Hey All!! Just wanted to state that my BX 23 broke a 3rd air filter Bracket this weekend. I understand that the early BX23's had a bad bracket. Mine came with the upgraded bracket and that's what keeps breaking. 292 hours, 2 years 8 months old. The dealer has replaced the other 2 broken...

I found a BX23, 2001, he says, with 550 hours on it.$10,500. Assuming it looks ok , how can I tell if the tranny is OK? Or do they last forever?Thanks, Rusty

While at my local Kubota dealer picking up Hydro filter and of course Super UDT Fliud for my BX23 I noticed the new BX24's (TBL's) sitting out side shop. I just had to go over and inspect the new orange machine, one had the hood for the engine compartment open sooo I looked inside, label on...

I'm trying to attach my mmm on my 2350 and can't get the rear links to lower. I've done this a dozen times on my ole bx1500 but first time on this thing--cutting height dail is set to zero; **** links won't come down. any ideas, help before I take my 12 gague to this **** thing.

Has anyone had a stick rip off the rubber boot just before the hydro fan? I've read of a few fans getting broken by sticks but I guess I got semi lucky and the stick hit the fan and kicked it back and ripped off the rubber boot. Just wondering if I need to change it right away or I may be able...

Hi all I havent been here in a while. I have had my Bx23 for about 2 years now, its has 260 hours on it. The bx has not let me down at all it handles every thing I throw at it and wants more, she just doesnt stop! Im very happy with her. I want to start playing around with the hydro pressure...

I went to Kubota today and got everything I need for my first (50 hr) service on my BX23. The oil filter they gave me is the correct part # for the BX series but its alot smaller than the filter thats currently on the tractor. I cant see a part number for the filter thats on there now. The...

Need to know what the transport length of a BX23 is (complete with FEL and BH). Could it be moved on a U-Haul auto transport which has a max. wheelbase limitation of 133"? Thanks. Bob

Has anyone ever heard a clicking sound whenever they push their BX to the limit? If i'm pushing forward or backward to the point where it won't go any farther. It has 287 hours and i've noticed it for awhile. Could it be reaching some sort of relief valve or something?

had an intersting thing happen to me today my bx brothers might want to hear about. my little buddy wouldnt start all of a sudden in the middle of a job. could not even hear the solenoid click. so I got to looking and a chucnk of hard dirt had gotten stuck in front of the nutural safety start...

anyone else have a metalic rattle noise in thier bx23 that is intermitant and you can feel in the stearing wheel? its an actual engine mechanical noise it sounds like a metal componant hitting another metal object. it might be exhaust vibration speed but i duno, just wondering if anyone else has...

hey i dont know if im the only guy with a bx 23 who has neglected to greese a zerk on the BH but I thought I might point out that there is a pretty important zerk you can only get to with the hoe down its just above the pivot point on the bottom where the main dipper arm connects to the rotating...

This is really no way to carry a saw. Not to mention bar iol and gas and the funny little screwdriver socket wrench thingy.

hey anyone remeber what they payed for the mower deck on their bx 23? is it the same deck as the bx 24? I was thinking 1500 but i could be way off. thanks for anyones input.

Abyone got an idea what my bx23 with 294 hours is worth? still in great shape, does not have a mower just the tlb and toothbar. im thinking about steping up to a b3030 tlb and does anyone know what a b3030 tlb cost new?

Any BX24 owners out there ever wonder why the engine says "BX23" on it? Just something I have been wondering about and never asked. I have had my BX24 for almost a year now. Great tractor!

i was at the dealer the other day and the techs told me about a recall for some models of the bx23 seat. I know mines a pain in the posterior and they said to bring it in and they would check and see if it was involved. anyone else know about this or have a seat that is hard to latch or spin?

More snow plowing with the BX23 Plowed 4'' of snow off the driveway this afternoon. Second time in less than a week. The FEL still beats a snow shovel.

I recentlly sold my BX23 and have a have a slightly used B3030 with a Woods 7' groundbreaker-x BH, LA 403 FEL and Woods 60" Box Blade being delivered in a couple of weeks. Since I ordered the B3030 from a dealer without test driving it, does anyone have experience with both and can tell me the...

One neat thing about microsoft money( or any similar software) is that you can easily track just about any expenditure with just a few clicks of the mouse. In my case I just built a "favorite" report on my BX23's fuel and maintenance costs and it tain't bad for this yr. It does help that I...

Hi guys, On and off during past 2 yrs I get a noise from the front lower right of the engine under certain load and rpm conditions on my BX 23. It's difficult to intentionally cause it. Happens more often driving around with a loaded bucket. Sounds like a resonating bracket or something, but I...

All I can find are BX22 toys. I know, theres really no difference except the sticker but try finding a small BX23 sticker to replace the BX22 sticker on a toy. My wife looked for a BX23 toy last year for Xmas and could not find one. Anyone got any ideas, besides getting the 22 and dealing with...

It was time to change the coolant, so I decided to stop using the magnetic heater and do it right. I installed a block heater, Kubota part #70000-73274 which cost about $32. I read of people installing the block heater in a freeze-out plug, but this one was threaded. There is a 1" npt plug in...
