Thank you Jeff. Thanks to four years of latin from the fine Franciscan fathers of Bishop Timon HS, I know that "trahere" is actually the 2nd principal part of the irregular verb, "traho." And while that ain't too tractor-y, once you get to the 4th principal part--traho, trahere, travi...

Thank you Mables, but you're in KY and I'm in WA so I probabbly won't be able to pick yours up. Could you tell me the make/model of your rake and I can maybe find one nearby?

I have a Kubota BX2230 sub-compact and I need an implement to clean up / rake up a field (~600sqft) full of broken branches up to 4" diameter and up to 5' long. Many are stuck in dirt or tangled with others, or both. I do not have a front-loader, hydraulic-arm setup, so it would need to be a...

Small problem, but one I need to solve. On My BX2230, I just saw the cap to the coolant reserevoir is gone. Does anyone have a good DIY replacement? I don't even want to think what I'm gonna have to do to get one from a dealer. Maybe have to buy a whole new bottle for fifty bucks. Would a piece...

By the way, When I first started having this problem, i saw a single, white, 4"-long piece of wire coming out of a wiring harness and one end just hanging in the air. There was a blade connector plugged onto the engine block that the wire was clearly supposed to connect to. I bought a new...

Dave: I'm getting the test light today. Yes, the other dash lights work just right. It's only the GP light that doesn't work. Also checking the wiring. So far it all looks good. Also thank you for the info on diesels. I didn't know that they don't have anything but compression to ignite the fuel.

Dave--That all sounds like great advice. Where is Terminal 19? I have the Owners manual, but I don't think there are schematics, or anything showing terminals. This tractor has an orange light on the dash with a symbol of a coiled wire on it. When it does start, it runs the same as it always...

Sweet, Zolan. Thanks!

In 2004, having spent all 58 of my previous years in cities, I moved to 5 acres in SW Washington. After 2 years I figured out I needed a Tractor, and got a 2230. With no dealer closer than an hour away, and not having a trailer or a hitch, I learned how to maintain it on the fly. Doing spring...

This spring, the first time I tried to start my BX, the glow plug light on the dash wouldn't light, but it started. It got worse over a couple of weeks, and now the light doesn't light, and it won't start. I wore down the battery twice, and would rather not do it again. A neighbor suggested...

Dodge man: That sounds like good advice. I had trouble tightening a blade on my last sharpening, but finally buked it tight with a crescent wrench. I was younger and stronger then, though. Hope I don't need t buy an impact wrench.

Willie: Yah, I was so tired but happy I just figured I'd give Rod etc a plug and if anyone knew who they were, great. If not, not. I do have the owner/operator manual, but had been hoping for a service manual with repair instructions. Beside the point now. I got to fix the mid-blade problem...

FWIW, I just had the whole left spindle go: bearings, grease seals . . . I t was ugly. then I found I didn't have the impact wrench to it it off, but the guys at local, dependable Hi-way Fuel took it apart, told me about a local (sort of) dealer that could get me parts fast. He and I found...

Wow! This has been my exact procedure for the last 2 years! I thought I was going to be able to patent it.

john thomas: thanks for the detailed answers. sorry about that last line. there was more after it, but it disappeared somehow. Don't recall now what it was. Went out to Sunset Equipment in St Helens, or today to pick up a new spindle for the one on my RCK60x-22BX that went south after a...

I just spent about an hour and a half hooking up my tiller, moving it a dozen feet, unhooking it, then hooking up the box scraper. By then it was too late to do the work I wanted to do. What a waste. All the while I'm cussing and wondering what in the world I'm missing. It can't be this hard...

I had problems getting grease in the right spindle on my mower deck, and now that I fixed the greasing problem, I see there's something wrong with the spindle. It's probably a bearing, but could be the spindle itself. Where can i learn how to remove the spindle and look see what's wrong? I...
