    My new panel fro My new panel from Messicks came with the pigtail. I didn't use it because I would have had to find the other end down by the engine.

    Another BX25D with a dead dash

    Hi what I mean is, using my meter, I put negative on pin 16 (ground), and tested the various other pins. Pin 2 (battery) and got 12v. Pin 4 tachometer voltage seem to vary slightly increasing with engine speed. I should have made notes for each one. I did this by plugging the dash panel into...

    Another BX25D with a dead dash

    I just realized what you were asking. I cleaned the pins. I also opened up the tach motor and cleaned the rust out of it.

    Shear pin question

    Better too soft and popping than the reverse. BTW I bought the big pack from that vendor on Amazon. I haven't opened the package but will tomorrow as I sheered an auger pin last week

    tractor insurance required

    New to me BX22 - isn't running, ...yet!

    Join the Kubota BX Owners group on Facebook. I asked the same question about paint a few weeks ago and got lots of replies. Also, someone bought a BX with similar symptoms after it had water in the fuel. Use the search box on the group home page to find the posts.

    Illustrated Parts Site

    Yep, it's busted. The irony is it redirects to a Japanese domain. I do enterprise content management systems for a iiving. They could really use my team's help. Messick has a good parts lookup, I usually go there anyway.
