    BX Brakes

    That's the way mine came when bought used and me not being real familiar with Kubota's. Makes me wonder how they do it on a John Deere. Guy down the road has a BX24 too and his parking brake is that FEL thingy just like mine.

    BX Brakes

    I have looked those over several times plus spent time under the right wheel well area. It looks like either you remove sections of the frame or lower the differential and associated parts. I don't think you can remove the axle housing and differential cover that houses the brake assy due to...

    BX Brakes

    I've done some searching here and it looks like nobody has any info on an actual brake replacement, only adjusting the linkage. Judging from looking under the right wheel area, it is a bear of a job. Looks like frame side plates have to come off. Has anyone done a brake disc replacement? I have...

    BX24 and Cyclone Rake

    I came up with a solution by fabrication of two links that bypass the 3 pt hitch lift arms. I wanted to have my mower deck able to lift independently from the 3 pt. I keep my Cyclone Rake running at the idle setting when dumping and was concerned if it was lifted up, the oil in the engine would...

    Those are the two links I want to remove from the hydraulic lift arms and replace with slightly longer arms that go to the upper 3pt stow brackets. That's what I was asking if was available aftermarket. You're accomplishing the same thing I want to, just differently. So anybody know if there...

    BX24 and Cyclone Rake

    I have a 3pt hitch that has a slot for a trailer hitch. The issue is the 3 pt raising up and possibly letting the CR engine starve oil to the connecting rod. The 3 pt even allows a full CR hopper to raise the 3 pt by weight alone.

    BX24 and Cyclone Rake

    OK, Time for an update. What I want to do is unhook the two 3 pt hitch hydraulic lift arms so the hitch doesn't move up and down. You can stow the 3 pt in the up position by unhooking the upper QD pins on the hydraulic lift arms then stow the hitch in the up position on two upper frame brackets...

    Thanks for the pics....I guess it will be ok then. I didn't see any stress on the CR mounts, so it should work. I'll hook it up this weekend and maybe post some pics. I did come up with a fix for disconnecting the hitch lift if need be. A couple quick links and some chain between the top stow...

    BX24 and Cyclone Rake

    That's my problem. I think the 3 pt is going way above what should be normal, at least from what I see in the barn. 3 pt goes from level. which would be around 12" from the floor, to almost double that at full up, and then the mower deck goes up? I think this is very excessive and will strain...

    BX24 and Cyclone Rake

    After some thought on this, the thing that I have an issue with is the 3 pt goes almost to the top of its travel before the mower deck lifts. 3 pt goes vertical, then the MM mower follows. Any help?

    I had visions of things all bent up. I'll give it a shot and see what I think. Thanks for your reply.

    BX24 and Cyclone Rake

    Hello, I'm new to tractors after buying a BX 24 with FEL, MM, BH and I'd like to know about hooking up my Cyclone Rake leaf vac on the 3 pt hitch without using the hitch lift mechanism. I want to be able to raise and lower the mid mower without activating the 3 pt at the same time. I was...
