I bought it a Emerichs in the Albany/Saratoga NY region. They delivered it today. All seems good. I've bought used machines from them before, they have kind of a no-nonsense, cash price they will give you in most cases. Doesn't appear they are looking to make a killing on their used stuff. Just want to move it to make room for new machines.
Did a little snow throwing with it today. Went through 18" of hard packed, frozen snow no problem. The Curtis cab needs some work, some rust here and there, and a broken weld in one door frame ( I have a welding shop). Cab looks like it might be older than the tractor is.
So far so good......moved the old faithful 1976 Cub 1450 outside...hated to do it. That thing treated me good. I bought it used for $500, found a Cub front thrower for $300 and have nursed it along for about eight years with no major failures. Hard to believe the abuse that old machine would take.
Anybody ever seen a parts/price list for Curtis Cab parts for a BX2200. Didn't see one on their web site, and it's considerably different than newer models.
Thanks again everyone,

Use the search function with "BX Curtis Cab" as the search term. Limit the search to the Kubota forums. You'll find threads on that.
Ditto on the hydro hoses, but that's just a function of age, not defect. My hoses to the steering went after 7 years. The quick connect hydro couplings also got flat spots on bearings and stopped seating tightly. The dealer replaced them with an aftermarket brand that is larger and better than the originals.
