The B2650 count down has begun!

That’s ridiculous, I know I already sound like a broken record on the other thread but how can my bx2370 come with a 40amp alternator and this 50 series b doesn’t. Makes no sense at all.

That 90 amp on looks like a upgrade for someone with a cab tractor that the stock one doesn’t keep up. I would think they would still offer a 40 amp one cheaper. The people have installed the kit that RKIDD posted in the other thread on a B2650 and it worked. So I am going to look into that one too. I know a 40 amp would be more than enough for me. I had 6 halogen lights, a strobe, and a blower motor for a heater on my 455 and the 40 amp had no problems.

Went and checked out the tractor! Can稚 wait till I can bring it home. Hopefully the tires come in early next week.

Sweet! Hey, you can get the bracket for a second toolbox and install it as if you had the backhoe, then you would have twice the room for tools and clips. I'm ordering a second one and putting a second in the right side of the ROPS.

Look at this photo on the left side ROPS.

Looking good Dan. It is really good stuff to get a brand new tractor. I remember it well. Especially one new in the crate that hasnt spent time sitting outside on the lot for months on end. Looking at your pics, and the one showing the exhaust reminded me of another mod I did. The factory exhaust blows onto the back of the loader bucket., leaving black soot on the back of the bucket. I had a length of exhaust pipe bent at a 45 degree angle and routed the exhaust out the side between the front tire and the loader arm to eliminate the problem.

Rock crawler,
I had the tool box on my bx mounted the same as yours. I should have took it off and kept it. It was a dealer that bought mine so they wouldn’t even have cared. To late now...

Rkidd,
Thanks for the tip, I will look into that exhaust mod.

Yes, I'm going to get pipe made like that as well. I've got 11 hours on my new machine now and the hydraulic lines on the left lower corner of the loader frame are coated completely in black soot.

Productive day today for the Kubota. I squared away the coil springs for the seat, I finished the LED lights, and I made front frame mounted chain hooks for use as a trailer tie down point.

I have 4 more hooks to weld onto it, that will be a total of 8 3/8" chain hooks and 2 large D-Rings.

Rkidd,
Do you know what size the pipe is? Did you just go to a muffler/exhaust shop?

Larry, your really making some progress on the mods!
