John Thomas,

Thank you for posting what I'm sure seemed, to you, at first, to be a very basic thread. As I am now in the market for a BX, I found it very helpful.

14 pages later, it shows how valuable it really is. :thumbsup:

Thanks again.

Your welcome.:drink: I started the thread but it's a compilation of many knowledgable and experienced Kubota owners input/information. I to learned from it and frequently learn new "stuff/info" on TBN. Always open to new information.

Spring has finally sprung here in Ky or so says our weatherman/woman which brings some of us to our spring tractor service itch/timeto extend the life of our tractor. Many people have contributed to this thread with some great advise for old and new tractor owners.
Do your own service and save money as well as learn a bit more about your tractor. It's not Rocket Science and you will probably do a more thorough and complete job than the latest new hire at your local dealer or the experienced guy that does it in steps between other jobs. In other words.....do it yourself or advise/direct/tell your wife/neighbor/grand child/son/daughter or person with sign that says they will work for food, what to do under the tractor while you sit on a stool and hand her/him tools, filters and clean up rags.

I just wanted to say "thanks" to the OP. I am in the middle of doing my 200 hr service and I have used this advice and pics time and time again. It is a little intimidating at first, but I have saved hundreds of dollars over the first few services. Thanks again...

I set out to clean the HST screen on my BX2660 after reading about how to do it on this thread. Since I did not have a number #5 stopper I figured a cork from a wine bottle would work just a well. Un screwd the retainer, pulled the tube out and found out the cork was a 1/4 inch too small! At that point there was nothing I could think of doing as the HST fluid just gushed out. I guess I could have stuck the strainer back in, gone to the hardware gotten the stopper but instead I just let the 12 quarts of fliud drain and did the 400 hour HST change at 175 hours. I had a 5 gallon jug of Super HST in the shop so luckly I was covered for the refill. As with everything, live and learn. On the bright side my first install of the MMM went smothly based on everyones advice, especially hooking up the PTO first with a little extra grease and finess not force.
