My 8kw light tower is powered by a D1105 kubota engine. Over 11000 hours so far, and runs like its new.

The fix that I used on my tractor was to install a switch that bypassed all the safety switches. This may not be possible on many tractors but it is for the BX23. This comes in handy for any number of things, like standing up while working your loader, not having a faulty safety switch put you...

When I purchased a used BX23 some years ago, it needed new tires all around. Purchasing a new set with rims thru the whole goods department was no more than just new tires. Now the old rims and tires have on winter chains and in the fall I just swap all the rims. It goes faster than mounting chains.

Just google it. Google is your friend. By the way, that number I quoted was not based on cars on the road, it was based on fires per 100,000 vehicles, and the number google came up with was 20 to 80.

According to safety statistics, ice vehicles are 20 times more likely to catch fire than evs.

Those are the connectors that I used as well. Wire one to the battery, and install wires on the other that terminate in booster cable type alligator clamps. Just make sure the wires are heavy enough to support the current running thru them when boosting.

Check my post #11. If it is bypassing to the extent that there is no curl, it is unlikely just to be bad seals. If the cylinders were rebuilt, that means the nuts connecting the ram to the piston were removed, and then placed back in position. All it takes is for one to have not been torqued.

There is the off chance that the ram for the curl function has become disconnected internally from the piston. If this is the case, trying to roll back merely allows the hydraulic fluid to pass thru the piston hole that is now open becauseof the disconnect.

I guess I am north of most of you. On the bx23 there is a battery blanket which gives it about twice the cranking power of an unheated battery. For giving the engine a head start, there is a block heater. The banket is on all the time and the block heater is turned on remotely for about an hour...

Quick guess, one or two of your quick disconnects for the FEL has become unseated and needs to be reinserted. If you have the system where all FEL hoses connect as a unit, this may or may not be possible.

I got all the manuals. The front axle has high viscosity gear oil in it, don't want to run UDT as its viscosity is pretty high, more liable to get seal leaks. It is time to change to coolant. I have a primary fuel filter that is visible for crud build up, and if it is clean (which it is) it is...

Thanks for all the comments. I guess by majority rules, the oil and filter will get changed.

I bought this BX23 with 1800 hours on the clock, and at that time, changed all the fluids, with the hydrostatic getting the SUDT, more commonly known in Canada as UDT premium. Eight years later, the tractor now reads around 2300 hours. What would the recommendation be, new oil, new filter, one...

Thanks for the explanation. Experience counts for a lot when diagnosing this kind of stuff.

Interesting diagnosis. Could you explain why you suspect a cracked head as opposed to a leak thru the head gasket?

No matter how careful you are, sooner or later some piece of crap is going to get into your tank. Use a filter at the fill port of the tank, either from the dealer, or Mcgyver something like this yourself.

With this location, the tractor itself is the guard. It sits in between the fel attach post and the tractor body.

A little bit of effort involved in making the 2 shafts, but that is all the materials you need. The mower deck wheels become the dolley wheels.

Go to any hardware store to buy these by the dozen for what you would pay for 1 at the dealer. A grade 2 bolt has no marks on the head. Refer to the included chart.
