    BX1500D/Motor Dip Stick Loose

    Any fixes for a chronic dip stick on this tractor that I always find ajar when I check the oil? This is a 2 cyl and they vibrate something awful on startup and shutdown which is when the stick dislodges from the tube. I have a little oil spray on the hood but not much. I can't be the only one...

    Snapped Bolt

    Well my maintenance of the 54" deck, (RCK54-22BX), on my BX1500 didn't go well today. I took all three blades off and sharpened them after I greased the pulleys, etc. Putting the blades back on, I tried to use my torque wrench set at 80 ft lbs to tighten them up and the last blade bolt snapped...

    Starter Not Engaging in Cold Weather

    Hi Everyone, I noticed that in colder weather, my BX1500"s starter will spin but NOT engage the flywheel. Before we talk about the obvious, the battery is fully charged and new in the fall. Anyone with similar issues on them in cold weather? I haven't crawled under it to look but is there a good...

    Fuel Cap a B@#tch to Get Off

    Fuel cap on my BX1500D is a complete struggle to take off after it's been on a while. I have to resort to a strap wrench to get it off. Keep in mind, when I finish filling it, I am not cross threading it and it goes on without issue and never super tight. I swear it's pulling vacuum but it runs...

    Swapping Engines/G/GF to BX

    I have always been curious about this topic. Would any of the Kubota G & GF series or their other earlier Lawn & Garden diesel engines fit the older BX tractors? (Mine is a 2 cyl. BX1500 for reference). I know my tractor is somewhat bastardized due to it actually being shorter than a standard BX...

    BX1500/Loader Valve Question(s)

    Hi Everyone, My BX1500 factory loader-valve, (joystick), has an issue I want to ask you guys about. First off the operation of the valve is perfect front to back. This would be raising and lowering my plow or FEL. The float function is also flawless. The left/right angle or curl function is the...

    Kubota BX1500 Battery

    I just replaced the 3 year old Walmart battery that was in my BX1500 when I bought it. I replaced it with an excellent priced but BIGGER battery from tractor supply. Question: I have no idea the dimensions of the OEM battery that would have come with it and this wider/taller battery I bought...

    Zerk fitting/motion control pedal

    Can't get any grease into the zerk fitting on my BX1500 motion control pedal. Pull the fitting and replace or does this older style pedal have a history of rejecting grease?

    Folding ROPS on a BX1500??????

    Anybody do this to their 1500 or other non-folding ROPS equipped Kubota? You can't fix stupid so I can't obviously train myself to remember the ROPS when I mow around my Dish Network dish, ornamental trees, etc. :rolleyes:

    Johnny Plow Sr Owners???

    After searching the site, I couldn't find anyone who has purchased/used these on their older BX's. I have a BX1500 and require the BX2711 hitch to use a Kubota plow and I want one that also angles. (2763A possibly with mods). Looking for snow removal on my 200 foot driveway and large parking...

    Idiot Light Replacements/BX Series

    Hi Everyone! First post on the forum as I'm a recent convert from Wheelhorse to Kubota. (And why it took so is a mystery to me). :( I have a left turn signal indicator out on my BX1500 dash. Everything works as it should including the flashers/turn signals so I know it's the indicator bulb. It's...
