    BX1500 Transmission Issue - Power to Only One Wheel

    I didn’t have mower attached when I started having my problems. That sure made troubleshooting much easier. After I identified that I was missing the U-joint, I remembered finding a black metal piece in the pasture several months ago that I thought must have belonged to a PTO implement...

    BX1500 Transmission Issue - Power to Only One Wheel

    They look as good as new. I feel confident that I can get everything re-attached (famous last words)! I thought I had the starting problem solved, but apparently not. After I solve my transmission problem, I’m going to take some time to sort the wiring. I know I’m getting a parasitic drain.

    BX1500 Transmission Issue - Power to Only One Wheel

    I found this part. I can’t tell for sure if pin is just pulled out enough to cause part to slip out or if pin is bad, so I will probably just find a new pin.

    BX1500 Transmission Issue - Power to Only One Wheel

    So, I believ you have solved my problem! I looked to see if propeller shaft is spinning and it isn’t. It looks like Part 160 in the diagram you sent has fallen off. I’m guessing pin (part 180) broke or fell off.

    BX1500 Transmission Issue - Power to Only One Wheel

    I hope I did this right…. Tractor in 4WD. Turned off tractor. Jacked up one front wheel and it turns freely. I did the same thing with other front wheel and it also moved backward and forward easily.

    BX1500 Transmission Issue - Power to Only One Wheel

    I lifted front wheels off the ground. With 4WD engaged I can turn the front tires. The tire I turn goes in direction I turn it and other wheel goes in opposite direction.

    BX1500 Transmission Issue - Power to Only One Wheel

    Thanks for the information. I think I’d better read the WSM to see if I can understand how it is supposed to actually work before I try to troubleshoot what’s going on. I’m convinced it is not operating like it is supposed to. i feel like I need to be better informed before I take up more...

    BX1500 Transmission Issue - Power to Only One Wheel

    I fiddled around with the seat switch and made a minor adjustment to make sure the button gets pressed when I sit down. I’m back in business on the starting issue! Thanks for help. I drove tractor around a little in pasture after filling all the tires and am not convinced that I have all four...

    BX1500 Transmission Issue - Power to Only One Wheel

    I do have the WSM so at least have a little help! When I turn on the key, I get rapid clicks, but no starter action. I thought the clicks were the glow plugs heating up, but maybe not? It starts right up when I jump the starter. Also, most of the time after I have it running, it will start up...

    BX1500 Transmission Issue - Power to Only One Wheel

    Thanks for the suggestion on tires. They are prone to go low, so I'm hoping that is the problem. I'm in Colorado. Weather hasn't been cooperating, so I haven't been able to do any more troubleshooting. In the meantime, I was hoping you could help me with another problem. Tractor has new...

    BX1500 Transmission Issue - Power to Only One Wheel

    My 4WD BX1500 seems to have only one wheel providing force. It is a rear wheel and doesn't seem to matter if it is in two wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. I didn't know what to do other than make sure fluid is filled. I also made sure that axle fluids are filled. Any help would be appreciated!

    LA181 Bucket Not Rotating

    Had a fluid leak that I traced to the loader. In trying to get to the hose where I think leak is, I disconnected the hydraulics from tractor/loader. I also took off the piston piece that lifts the bucket. kubota dealer built me a new hose (about 12 inches long). I reassembled everything and...

    BX1500 stalling after taking out of neutral

    Turns out the engine stopping after putting in gear was an issue with the seat switch. I've been trying to fix engine stalling and rough running under load for about a year. I changed fuel filters (both) for I think the third time in six months and the tractor is purring like a kitten. I have...

    BX1500 stalling after taking out of neutral

    Just replace fuel filters and now it seems that tractor dies after taking out of neutral. I tried bleeding system by turning on ignition for 30 seconds before starting but no luck.

    BX1500 Radiator Removal

    I’m having trouble removing the radiator so that I can inspect it for leaks. I bought the WSM, but it doesn’t help. Are their remove/install instructions available anywhere?
