My sales guy seemed to act a bit as a "point man", so I followed his lead, I guess. I did, actually...a tech and the guys at the counter seemed okay with chatting a few quick minutes since there were no other customers. They had a couple interesting points of guidance and I have found them to...

All good points. Personally, I read everything except the bulk of the WSM before I signed. My warranty excludes transportation but on the very next page says: and since I don't have a trailer or reasonable towing vehicle, yet, I asked about it, at both dealers. The closer one said they...

Service dept guy said it does sound like the coolant temp sensor is faulty, going to schedule a stop by when out this way to take care of it...especially since warranty repair transport such as this is not covered, another discrepancy from my discussions with my sales guy. :-/

Got it, thanks, Jim L. Either way (see below), I'm going to check this, too! Current status is: - checked the wiring harness connector to coolant temp sensor: reading 5.012V with key/ switch on. - checked coolant temp sensor at two posts/ contacts: reading open circuit/ infinite resistance...

Cool, found it, looking for my good DMM....crappy one is dead. Only an inch from top of radiator cap/neck to coolant level...will startup make a mess? Thanks!

GeoHorn, He was a bit more dismissive of this in the fall and one or two little things during the purchase process than I would have preferred, but he was really only point for other stuff, so generally positive. I know my detailed/ ignorant questions can annoy people, so I try to give extra...

lugbolt, when you specify "little wire from the sending unit on the head" are you talking about the contacts on the coolant temperature connector or the connector, or are you referring to the console when you say "head"? Just checked my invoice, dated 7/25/19 and my sales guy said he just...

Hey, Dave, thanks! You were faster with the pages than I could find my WSM copy! Now I just have to find the sensor itself...

"But if the problem is the gauge in the console that can get expensive." Jim L, I didn't think of that, but I'm still a couple weeks within warranty, thankfully! "Maybe the thermostat is stuck open?" dochsml, I assume that's relatively easy to check, I'll see what the dealer says about...

I've had my BX23s for almost a year now, and in about 70 hrs of operating time the engine temperature gauge needle has never left its "at rest" position (except for startup when it sweeps to the top and then back to at rest). This includes a couple days mowing for over an hour in 85+ degree...

chimpywrench, You indicate the salt you get is finer than the typical stuff, so maybe this agri-fab unit would work? I looked at it for lime drop spreading, but description claims it can do salt as well.

Yeah, I saw that, too. From what my parts guy said, the "700" numbers are old(er). Per the instructions, the current(?) number for you boot should be K6056-3003-0. But who knows. Gotcha, I may have misread, then. I've only ordered from my dealer so far, but then I've only had my equipment...

chimpywrench, That Messick's link you posted is for the GCK60-BX deck, not the RCK54-23BX, which I believe you have. In theory the plastic boot part may be exactly the same, but my guess is likely not. The worst part of the Kubota parts system (at least via the web that we plebes can access)...

chimpywrench, Here's the hose that came with my boot kit. Also, welcome to the forum and congratulation on the new tractor!

chimpywrench, The Kubota parts system is garbage (straight from my dealer's parts guys and my personal experience), so be very careful when ordering. For the whole boot kit, you have to go through sales ("whole goods", versus "parts" counter). Tell them what tractor and exactly what mower...

It turns out to be a moot point for me...the list price on the QH10 and QH15 is $516. :eek: The sales guy was a little surprised it was over double, could come down a little, but recommended I consider some 3rd party options. I left the QH05 with him and picked up the Harbor Freight quick...

Wolfman, no problem using PTO attachments with the HF unit?

RCW, thank you for the pic. Is that a non-factory top link? It appears to be notably different than mine, while the bottom links appear to be the same.

Thanks guys, I've been looking at the HF model, that will be my backup. Going to try and exchange my QH05 for a QH15 at the dealer tomorrow.

Long version: When ordering my BX23S the sales guy at the dealer strongly suggested the QH05 quick hitch for a sub-compact tractor. I don't remember his exact wording but I wrote down "QH10 wont fit?" in my notes from that conversation. My very first implement purchased on my own, the...
