Backhoe Re-Install BT-600 on BX-22

[Archer1]

Help,
I recently moved and can't locate my Kubota Manual. Can someone tell me how to re-install my backhoe? Also Is there a free or reasonable PDF of a BX-22 Manual out there?

does anyone have any idea where to find the operator's manual for the BT600? i just acquired a used BX22 and i got with it the tractor manual, mower manual and found a front loader manual on the web somewhere. so i removed the loader, mower and cannot figure out how to remove the backhoe as i need to service the tractor (oil, hydro fluid, coolant, and replace couple of leaky hoses/fittings). there are instructions on the side of it on how to remove it and mount it (a sticker), but i cannot figure out for the life of me what certain parts are and what they look like and dont want to lose a hand. total tractor newb here. just searched all over the web. the one youtube video of messicks removing the BX24 backhoe is nice and quick but so simple they must have changed the design somewhat since the BX22. i figured i'd revive last year's thread since it wasn't really answered. thanks in advance.

I think Messicks or someone had a you tube video on it. Might search you tube. This is how I do it:

Put the backhoe bucket on the ground and slightly raise the back of the tractor. On each side under the backhoe platform there are gold colored locking mechanisms. Pull the hairpin out and pull the handle back.
Reinsert the hairpin to hold the lock open. Use the lever like you are picking the bucket back up. The backhoe frame will tilt away from the tractor. Use the outriggers to lift the backhoe frame out of the "hooks" on the back of the tractor. I then pull the tractor ahead far enough to push the frame back upright and then put a cement block under it to support it until the next use. You'll need to watch that you don't pull on the hydraulic hose. Shut the tractor off and disconnect the hydraulic lines. I plug the ends of the backhoe together to keep them clean. Then plug the tractor lines together and you are ready to go. When you tilt the backhoe frame away from the tractor, tilt it enough that when you raise with outriggers the frame doesn't hit the fenders.

got it. thanks a lot. picture on the sticker was backwards, confusing the heck out of me. plus backhoe was not on properly with one of the gold pins being in remove position and the other in the mount position so at first i didnt know if that was the right pin to begin with not to mention which way it should go. i just got it home 2 days ago and just used backhoe for testing, havent dug anything so hopefully i couldnt have damaged it much by using it and hauling it without it being installed properly. after i grease everything and stop leaks i will make sure to properly mount it now that i am familiar with terminology. thanks again.

Messick's shows a BX22/BX23 Owner's Manual on their site. If it's like my BX25, one manual covers the tractor, loader and backhoe all together. Might want to call them to check however.

Kubota BX22/BX23 Owners Manual Part #K2591-71224

Actually, if you blow up the pic of the manual, it specifically shows the BT600 is included. $21.49 plus shipping.
