I don't know if anybody has had this problem before but it confused the heck out of me for about 45 minutes till I figured it out. There is a plastic molded 30 amp fuse located just above the oil filter in the wiring harness, that when it blows, you get nothing at the key switch. No gauges, no crank, nothing. I checked the fuse block and everything was ok. Battery was ok. Finally looked in the operators manual and found it. Now the best part. Today I go to the local dealer (1 mile from me) Show the parts guy what I want. He gets on the computer, stays on for 15 minutes, and says he can't find it anywhere. I said "its got to be listed. There are thousands of BX2200's out there. Are you sure?" Then he says to me "I wonder if its listed under the electrical section" Sure enough, there it is. But he's still not sure so he has me look at the monitor to verify it. Yes! Thats it! I need one, how much. $2.25. Great, I'll take it. O K he says. We'll have to order it. It will be here in 3 days. I told him to forget it. I'll email Ronnie at Modern Equipment in Tenn. an have him mail me one. I'll probably get it sooner from Modern than if I order it from these folks. How do some of these dealers stay in business? I don't need to do a lot of repairs on my tractor, as Kubotas are built pretty darn good, but don't you think a dealer should have at least fuses on hand? The one saving grace in all of this is at least I didn't buy from him 2 years ago. I had a bad feeling about the place the minute I walked in. Looks like my gut feeling at that time was correct.
