Oil & Fuel BX fuel filters what gives...

My JD 1025 sputtered once, too, but it recovered and has been fine since.

Hate the idea of having to get at that underfloor, inline filter on it. Checked with JD once to see if they had a shut-off valve to put in line when I changed it. They were out.

Wonder if the engineers were forced into doing this for all tractors? Guess the lower pore ones weren't available to prescribe for the ones located inside the fuel bowl area. Don't understand why (all of a sudden) everyone had to go to a fine pore, inline filter. Our old 240D had an inline one ahead of the HP fuel pump (and then the big spin-on filter) back in 1983. Don't think it was fine pore one though. it was right up there easy to get to. The 240D is probably the easiest car in the world to work on.

get one of these. They are only $16 from your Kubota dealer an work great. They are from the B series they said. View attachment 418308 with a little fabed up bracket by the pump it works great.

My dealer must be ripping me off. That fuel filter assembly is replacement part for my B26 fuel filter housing and he sells it for $25 plus tax. The filter alone is $15. The clear housing contains an O ring at the top which is $2. The filter has one on it also and doesn't come with the filter. Luckily I had an O ring kit that containers the small one when I changed my filter. Pricing for Kubota parts are a bit ridiculous

no you have to clamp the hose off.

I'll pull my receipt when I get home but I'm sure it was around that cause messics is $23 something an was surprised when I called to order one from my dealer an it was cheaper then them. People were selling them on eBay for $40 when I got mine.

I thought dealer pricing was the same from dealer to dealer. Guess I was wrong.

Does the bowl contain the water that was filtered out? Or is it just there to make it easier to see when the filter is dirty to change it?

Jj1479 · Mar 27, 2015

Yes the water will collect in the bottom of the bowl an you can also see when the filter needs changed.

My plan too. Did you eliminate the first in-line filter under the floor, and swap this out for the second one up near the engine?

Yep I took out the one behind the fuel pump. I left the one alone at the injector pump. You just have to extend you fuel line to your new mount wherever your putting it an block off the return port that's sticking out on top of that filter setup. They said is wasn't really needed so we just used a screw that fit tight in the port an used sealant on the treads.
