I have a fix. If we all start to notify a little know agency in Washington DC called the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Did you know that it takes as little as 3 or 4 complaints in a month for them to open an investigation and 10 complaints in 6 months can start a full blown investigation that can result in a recall depending on the severety of the defect and the product? This is what I have been told. Today sticking your head into the sand about a safety related issue on a motorized vehicle can be a very dangerous thing. There is a whole industry that makes its living just waiting to capitalize on injuries as a result of manufactures ignoring safety issues. I don't particularly care for that industry, but I do know why they exist and understand how they came about. Kubota ought to also. The air filter bracket isn't a safety issue, but the sticking pedal is. That should be fixed and owners should be notified. Failure to do anything less could be considered criminal if someone were to be severely injured or killed and they know about a defect and don't do anything about it. I am not an attorney, but I used to play one on television. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

According to Kubota there has been a service bulletin issued on this. They are unsure why the dealers are not aware of it but here it is for anyone in need.

Thanks to all that helped and hopefully this information will help others.

Could it be that they don't read the mail or is it that the don't know how to read? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It sure would be nice if we could get a list of service bulletins on the bx series tractors so if and when we need to bring them in for service we wouldn't have to rely on the dealers who are for some reason in the dark...

That is like asking the Pentagon for classified secrets. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hey mine did that, BX2200. The dealer here replaced some bearings in the transmission (after the second time) and said that Kubota alerted them to this problem. (sticky pedal). Mine only had like 25 hours on it. It was fixed correctly the second time.

I guess I got a good dealer, better be anyway, I know where he lives and it is a small town.
