No, none at all.

I buy and sell a good bit of Kubota parts and recently bought a mower gearbox that I can't identify. I knew it was unusual, but thought I would comb through parts diagrams and figure it out. No luck! Never seen this one with the oil fill well protruding from the face of the gearbox. I believe...

I used to have a BX1860 and went down the same road as you. First bought the block plug. Easy peasy installation, until I tried to replace the muffler. Removed it and replaced the frost plug, then purchased a hose heater. As you've discovered, it's really a tight fit but with enough wriggling...

Thanks again for the help. As ruger1980 and Henro said, it wasn't a bad job at all. 30 minutes, tops. Detached the boom cylinder and got it out of the way, then separated the hydraulic line and removed from bulkhead. Had plenty of slack to pull it up to get a wrench on it. I don't think it...

Thank you all for your replies. I'm going to order an angle head wrench and give it a shot. Otherwise, looks like I'll plan a day in the garage following ruger1980's helpful advice.

I have a hydraulic fluid leak on my BX25 backhoe. I can see that it's at the coupling, but can't get a wrench on it to tighten the nut. So little of the nut protrudes from the hole that I can't get to it. I can see scratches where the previous owner also tried to tighten the nut. Any advice?

No. It would be too big, and the attachments are very different.

Really nice shape. Was used on a tractor at a school and almost never used to mow. Stored indoors for several years. Really nice deck. Can ship (from Florida) via Fastenal. Will get an exact quote if seriously interested. Usually $250 or less. $1,200 for the deck as pictured.

I bought new clevis hook mounts for the front bucket of my BX25D. Painted one with Kubota spray paint from the dealer ($15), and the other with Rustoleum Lobster Red ($7.50 on Amazon). These pictures are on the hood, which is very slightly sun faded. Rustoleum is on the left, Kubota on the...

I just bought a new to me BX25. Really nice machine, like new with the exception that the previous owner removed the top of the folding ROPS. They have been lost. I've tried sourcing them at Messicks, but they don't seem to sell them (looked for ROPS of several models - none). Anybody know...

Inspect your oil seals on the mower deck gearbox. Since the pulley obscures your view of the bottom one unless you remove the gearbox, check for excess oil. The only place for oil to escape is the seals. The gearboxes will last practically forever IF oil in the box is maintained. Leaking oil...

I am parting out a G1800-S with 48" deck. The deck is rusted but all components (gearbox, spindles, etc.) are in good shape. Most parts are interchangeable with G1900. D662 engine starts and runs nicely. PM me for a video. Also parting out a ZD326 with D1105 engine. Engine had a cracked...

Don't want to be discouraging, but I've owned and worked on these machines for years and I've never seen one.
