    BX 2200 Snowblower Installation

    The loader valve is mounted on an upright on the tractor that came off when you removed the loader. To use a snow blower, you had to remove the upright from the loader assembly and put it back on the tractor. I have one of those arms, should you need it. There were also 2 different loader...

    Most loaders are specifically designed for the tractor and do not offer a universal fit.

    Flushing hydraulic fluid from implement

    Don't forget to remove the shear pins and ensure they are the correct size for your snowblower. I have found many instances where the owner didn't care enough to use the correct shear pin and instead replaced it with a stronger bolt that wouldn't break when the impeller struck an immovable...

    must-have workshop features

    Asymmetrical lift and 4-post lift with lots of clear space around them. It's not going to happen because I am getting too old to work on cars, and I've even lost the desire to drive them. One has been permanently parked on the 4-post lift for more years than I can remember, and one has a fuel...

    BX23S new to me

    Your underbody mower deck from the BX2200 will not fit the BX23S. I have seen the correct 54" & 60" underbody mower decks being sold on Facebook Marketplace, priced as low as $ 1,000, with a range of up to $ 3,500. It is difficult to understand, but the 60" mower deck is a lot more manageable...

    Shear Bolt Price Explosion!!

    I have purchased these aftermarket shear bolts in the past, and I'll bet that if I combined the handful of bolts I purchased from the Kubota dealer before the price increase with the ones I purchase on eBay, you would be hard-pressed to find any difference. Yes, I know exactly what a gearbox...

    Locking Gas Cap

    Create your own by drilling a hole in the side of the existing cap and then tapping it for an Allen screw. Drill a matching hole in the threaded section, and then screw the long Allen screw into the hole. Put the Allen wrench where you won't lose it.

    Shear Bolt Price Explosion!!

    I just bought 15 on eBay for under $2.00 a bolt, lock washer, and nut. I was only pointing out how Kubota is loosing touch with reality with high prices on things that cost them pennies to make or purchase.

    Need Recommendation For Air Compressor

    I purchased a Quincy QT5 220-volt over 30 years ago, and it is still running strong. If you only need it occasionally, then any of the inexpensive units will last you a very long time. If you plan to use it every day, consider investing in a higher-quality unit that will last you for the rest...

    Shear Bolt Price Explosion!!

    I was just looking up some prices of service items for the BX2816 / Bx2822 snow blower common service parts on Messicks dot com . The shear bolt part # 70060-01338 now costs $5.44 . Has Kubota lost all concept of reality, or is this a simple case of price gauging? When they were $2.00 a...

    Need Advice (Desperately)

    The insurance company will make an offer, and the adjuster will determine the salvage value. Often, if the tractor cannot be moved easily and the insurance company contracts with a salvage disposal yard to take it, they may determine that they can save a significant amount of money by selling...

    Why is your vet bill so expensive?

    One thing that most people are unaware of is how billing has been simplified and expanded with the use of computers. In the past, you were billed for the veterinarian's charge and a small bill for the supplies used. An example would be if your dog received a rabies vaccine, and you were...

    Closing the business

    My. Hodge, I know your "pain" and am in the same boat. I started my business over 50 years ago, and as it grew, I continued to open more stores. I could have gone into the family business, but I realized early on that I wouldn't be happy walking in someone else's shoes just to collect a pay...

    Look What Followed Me Home............

    Not sure what I am going to do with the snowblower. I bought it because I needed the hardware that is normally mounted on the tractor when you get a snowblower. I could have bought all the parts from the Kubota dealer, however, it would have been quite expensive to get through the parts...

    WTB Tractor Side of the BX2810 Quick Hitch

    I am looking for the tractor side of the BX2810 Quick hitch. This is the part that stays with the tractor when you remove the snow blower or the snow plow. It consists of 3 brackets and a bunch of nuts, bolts, and washers that mount on the inside of the front frame. Possibly you purchased a...

    Looking for “Black pipe dope” advice………...

    I used Rectorseal #3 for decades on black iron pipe. I only use Teflon tape on old threads where the sharp edges have been worn off. In the dark ages, we would wrap cotton sewing thread around the pipe threads, then apply pipe dope to the threaded end and tighten. The cotton would give the...

Below is my reply to him, and it will apply to anyone else looking for a snow blower for a BX22 model tractor...

    Don't use any harsh shampoo on him, and make sure to rinse him well. I like an oatmeal based shampoo for skin problems. Also check your food for chicken. It seems like we are seeing a lot of dogs with chicken allergies. There are some very good foods that you can get that don't have any...
