    Damaged rubber boot on shaft/hst fan (pic)

    So I pulled my snowblower off my BX2360 today and was nosing around underneath it and noticed the rubber boot at the HST fan is pretty much gone. I am having my dealer pick it up next week to do the 400 hour service and am wondering what kind of money he’s going to ask to fix that - or if...

    Part number or source for Kubota Engine paint?

    Gonna be installing my block heater soon and would like to get some color matched engine paint so I can paint it after installation and the overspray match the block. My local K dealer couldn't seem to figure out if they could get it or not. Anyone have a part number for small spray can of...

    2 5/16” ball with 3/4” shank???

    Is there such an animal as a 2 5/16” ball with a 3/4” shank? I bought a Titan Attachments draw bar to use with quick hitch and I would like to use it to move my 16” trailer around on occasion. The trailer uses a 2 5/16” ball but the Titan only has 1 7/8 and 2” balls on it with 3/4 shanks. I...

    Gearbox oil change on RCK54P23BX deck

    So last weekend I changed the oil in the gearbox of my 54" mower deck. (RCK54P23BX) The manual says it holds .16 qts. The manual also says it should be filled to just below the check port. Well .16 quarts didn't even come close. Once it was all said and done I had to use almost half a...

    I am so glad...

    That I decided to buy my BX2360 (with snowblower) off the guy we bought our house from. The local Kubota dealer was trying to get me to buy a new 2370 from him without a snow blower for close to the same price citing “we never get any snow any more, so it’ll just take up space anyway and...

    Different brand front tires for BX2360?

    I think it's time I changed the fronts on my BX2360. The stock OTR R4s are looking worn and one continually leaks. I was at my local tire shop this morning have a screw in my truck tire repaired and asked about replacing the BX tires. The guy there said he could get me the OTR R4s but...

    Land Pride RB1560 backblade skid shoes?

    Anyone have any experience with the add on skid shoe kit for the RB1560? Mainly wondering if they’re worth the price for snow removal on a concrete driveway when there is not really enough snow for the snow blower? Will they help with not marking up the concrete vs the blade by itself?

    Block heater installation on BX2360?

    So I've been contemplating buying the Kubota Block Heater kit for my BX2360. I'm a pretty handy person and I'm considering installing it myself - but the knocking out of the freeze plug sort of scares me. So today I swung by my local Kubota dealer at lunch and asked service what they'd charge...

    Question if you installed a battery tender on your BX

    If you've installed a battery tender on your BX series, where/how did you mount the lead from the battery? I was just looking for a spot and it seems to be pretty snug in there. The only spot I'm seeing is up behind the instrument panel near the top of the radiator, but I'm concerned it'll be...

    Winterizer treatment before winter ok?

    So I don't go through a tremendous amount of fuel in my BX - about every 4th or 5th mow I need to fill up. I'm almost due to fill up my 5gal tank again which will probably take me into the cold months of snow blowing. Is it safe/ok to add the anti-gel winterizer in this next 5gal tank in...

    Preparing for winter with BX

    So this will be our first Winter in the new house as well as the first one with the BX. My BX (along with all my other yard work stuff & JD garden tractor) resides in a 2 stall detached garage next to our house. This is the first time in 25+ years I've had a garage that had no heat in it...

    Those warning labels on implements...

    Yea...the ones about not standing between the tractor and the implement particularly. Today I learned they aren't there for decoration only. Like an idiot I was trying to nudge my back blade onto my quick hitch (the top hook was binding) and tried to lift it up a bit to help it on. Next...

    RB1560 lower pins question

    Should there be exposed threads or should they be screwed all the way in? Mine arrived like this and I don't think it's quite right?

    Hooking up implements on dollies?

    Thinking about building some dollies for my FEL, Snow Blower and Back Blade. My plan is to build them out of 2 x 6's and buy the cheap Harbor Freight furniture dollies and take the casters off for the dollies I'm gonna build (cheaper than buying individual casters). My question is - how...

    Land Pride quick hitch?

    Going to pick up my new Land Pride RB1560 back blade tomorrow and wondering if it's worth ponying up for the LP quick hitch? Right now the back blade is only 3pt attachment I will own and will be on the tractor all winter with the snow blower attached. I will also use it for it's intended...

    Land Pride RB1560 vs. RB0560

    I'm waffling between these 2 blades for my BX2360. I have a long'ish concrete driveway I'll need to remove snow from this winter and a Kubota 50" snow blower for my tractor. Mainly want the blade for touchups that I can't get to with the snow blower and to use as a counterweight for my FEL...

    Any plans out there for a Ballast Box for a BX?

    A friend of mine said if I can get him some plans/specs he will make me a ballast box at work (they do a lot of welding). So does anyone have any plans, dimensions, specs etc for a rear ballast box for a BX series (2360 in my case) tractor?
