kubota bx22

Our winters here in the White Mountains of NH have been getting icier than ever. I started using a front mounted landscape rake top strip ice almost 40 years ago with great success, both commercially and residentially. I now leave this 6' rake set up on my Kubota BX22 for just such occasions...

been thinking about it for awhile, no time like the present. 2003 BX22 w/ 2200 hours traded for new BX23S. If the new one is half as good as the old one, I'll feel blessed!

If anyone has replaced a BX22 (or BX2200) FEL bucket curl cylinder, I'm interested in knowing if you were able to acquire one that matched OEM 1.25" pin size (and from where) or if you opted to go with a readily available 1" pin cylinder and implement bushings? All these years with moving nearly...

I am trying to replace a leaking steering hydraulic hose on my BX22. It's the one that runs to the left side of the transmission and I am having a heck of a time removing it, mainly because it's impossible to get a wrench on the fitting. Plus, I'm not entirely certain where I should be putting...

Hi, I used to be copperhead1967 here but had to rejoin. Sorry but this rambles a bit. Short story: is 3PH wont raise and sounds like a valve is open in tranny on left side under seat. My 3PH won't raise or does once every 50 times. It sounds like a valve is open on the left side and running...

Starts but as soon as the key is released she dies. The battery is fully charged. I've replaced the stop solenoid, but that didn't do anything. All the fuses are fine. No obvious wire issues. What else should I check/test before throwing a new ignition switch at it?

[UPDATE] I stated in this post that this is my first post on the forum and I’m apparently losing my mind. I posted practically the same exact question a few months ago and read all of the responses. I just turned 49 yo and my memory is truly failing me. I even discussed my memory loss with my...

Test thread- Can thread originator modify thread title after some time has passed by? Rev 1: Added additional tag and added "( rev 1 ) to title

Hi, New here and i hope im asking the right question but i just got a BX22 series recently and couldn't be happier, although with my lack of knowledge i do not know if this is normal or not. When in 4wd i will hear and feel like a clicking noise from under my feet and ill also feel it as it...

Removed the boom cylinder to replace all of the hoses, as I had a leaking hose and most were quite old and dry. I wasn't careful enough to recall the proper orientation of the boom cylinder. Should the fittings for the hoses be located on the upper side of the cylinder when inside the boom, or...

Several years ago I bought a used BX22. Used rough but still in good shape. Had a little feedback when the peddle was depressed fully in high gear. After year one I change the hydraulic fluid and no change. Next fluid change I took out the screen and found a few large pieces of metal in it...

Hi there attached you will see a the page out of the repair manual for the mower link linkage has anybody removed this before?? I have removed the clevis pins from each side of the mower arm linkage that connects to the shaft by way of the bushings on each side of the tractor but for the life...

Hi there :) I have a 2004 BX22 Kubota that I bought used with 600hrs on it. I was very excited to use it for the first time (and stupid) even after noticing a hydraulic leak from the backhoe hose. After mowing, I got it to the trailer and it did not want to move forward or backwards but you...

I have a Kubota BX22 with the D905 engine. I am trying to remove the threaded plug on the side of the engine so I can install a block heater. The threaded plug has a 17mm socket head, meaning I must use a 17mm allen wrench to unscrew it. I am having a heck of a time loosening this plug. It's...

Can't find any other threads on this, but does anyone have any ideas to get the tranny out of Turtle?? I tried rocking, both gently and vigorously, but to no avail. I often run across town with it, and it's a fifteen minute trip in low. (yes, it's a small town.) Any ideas would be welcome...

One of my favorite YouTube guys, South Main Auto car guru rebuilds the steering cylinder on his BX22. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vOE3LyjZ_EqQ

I have been looking for a seat for my "ultimate garden tool", known to the public as a BX22D TLB. One of the dealers I use advertised a seat for about $150 then after I ordered it they notified me it wasn't available, but they had the $400 one in stock and would be happy to send it. Right, a...

Hello from Dallas tx!!.... thank you for accepting me in the group Was happy working with my bx22 when all of the sudden the loader stopped working...I mean, the actual loader lift, the curling still working...bucket down, so I can't even drive it without taking loader off I took off the metal...

I'll be running a bush hog on my BX22 in the next few days cutting some pretty tall grass. I've been running the clipper on a B7300 but the pto clutch started slipping last year and I dont think it will make it through this year. My clipper is a Bush Hog brand 42" Squealer. My question is...

Hi - I hope this appropriate for the attachment forum, but I have a BX22 w/o backhoe, and am having a hard time locating one. Any ideas on where to look? I've seen plenty of the aftermarket variety BTW, but am kind of hoping for an original (seems more compact, would match up nicely, etc)...

I've had my bx22 since 03. Loved it for the little time I've actually put on it (360hrs). In that time I've never had any issues with it, but it has always lacked a bit in the muscle dept. Wondering if anybody has made a similar move and has feedback of any kind. The L2501 has a bit more...

I am looking to level off my yard its grassed but it is very uneven humps and such. I am tossed between rototilling it and then having to drag it with a rake or use a box blade and try to just pull down the highs and fill the lows. It would be alot cheaper to just buy a box blade. My next...

Short of pulling the transaxle, is there a way of inspecting what might be in the bottom of the differential housing? Pieces of gears, the differential lock etc? While operating the tractor this weekend I had earlier used the differential lock and while I was in a turn I heard a pop that...

Hello to all, I developed a hydraulic leak on my BX22. It leaks while running and seems to be located by the hydraulic control valve (runs down the priority valve) I have replaced both o rings behind the valve, also the o rings on the pirority control valve. It does not seem to be a pressure...

I've got a BX22 with 1200+ hours on it. Today while using the FEL I noticed that it was leaking down while it had a load on it with the engine RPMs up at operating speed. I had gotten off the tractor to move something and noticed it leaking down when getting back on. I've looked all over...

Hey all, I am considering a BX22 for appx 10K, has loader and Backhoe and 800hrs. I already have the Bobcat CT450 for the heavy work, but I need a quality mower for about 5 acres of rolling, to steepish inclines, and a little rough terrain. I also am in need of a trencher/ditch digger. The...

I'm the new owner of this tractor (400 hrs) I removed the BH for the first time to do inspection and maintenance Coated all the attachment pins with 'Never Seize' and lubed the arm & cam assembly with kroil. I watched a YouTube video on removal on a BX 23S and the BH removal went fine, I took my...

I seem to have a major issue. The tapered hole on the outer gear case that the outer tie rod bolts thru is worn and elongated causing excessive play. has anyone seen this issue and is there a more economical way to repair this without replacing both outer gear cases ?

After adjusting the brakes on my new BX22 last night I started at looking at the HST pedal mechanism. I noticed it stopped and reversed somewhat abruptly. I'm thinking it might be the gas charged dampening rod is weak being 15 years old. also my seat belt mechanism won't lock, Kubota wants...

Just acquired a BX22, working on getting back in shape. Installed new headlamp, winker and directional switch (all missing). Headlamps and tail lights work, have power to center terminal for directional (three prong connector), no light at rear. two wires left, go to winker switch (I think, two...

I know they work as I removed the offending pair and proofed for blockage by squeezing grease threw them, they were fine. Then reinstalled the pair and again both refused to take any grease. I squeezed my grease gun so hard, that moly shot between then GG head and the hydraulic grease hose ...

I want to say hi to everyone on this forum, excited to finally join 'club' Kubota after 30 years of wanting one :laughing: I'm looking a snow set-up for a 12'x 270' driveway with a couple of doglegs running off it. I've got a line on a 2765A hydraulic snow plow but haven't got a clue if it will...

I need to put the 3 point hitch on a BX22, but don't have a copy of the instruction or parts manual. Does anyone have a copy that they could scan and email to me? I need to know what to put into the center hole on the triangular piece that goes over the pins that the arms slip over. The part...

Yesterday, I did a job for a guy, he needed four holes dug to a depth of over 40 inches. He had rented a trailer post hole digger, but due to the underground rocks (looked like gravel) and the clay, the rented tool would only dig around six inches. I had walked the neighborhood (took a few...

Hello All; Long time reading, first time posting. Thanks to everyone for all the good info I've found here in the past. Looking for some advice. Had a leak at the rear PTO seal. Never used the PTO (2nd owner). Could see where the seal looked like it wasn't sealing against the shaft in one...

I have a 2004 BX22 with a leaking cylinder. The cylinder is on the loader lift. Can someone walk me through how to repair this with the seal kit? Maybe someone has already posted the information some where on this forum. Thanks, sherpa

I have a 2004 kubota BX22 with 477 hours and the left side loader cylinder is leaking fluid. The loader is a LA210. Can I replace the cylinder seal or is this something I need to take and get repaired? The parts salesman seem to think I would be able to do this myself? Can anyone with...

Looking for a parts display for the above speed control linkage to determine part numbers

The mower deck height control knob is missing from my tractor so I've no clue where the top lock setting should be. The rod that the knob was on turns easily. My question is... which direction do I turn the rod to raise and lock the MMM arms at their top most setting? The owners manual doesnt...

I have the shaft out of my tractor to replace the HST fan, CV boots and both joints. In looking at the parts diagram of the CV joint, it shows O-ring dampeners under each ball in the joint. The joints on this tractor are the original joints with 1300+ hours of run time and I have no clue how...

Now that the weather has started to cool off down here I've started doing things to the BX22 that was left to me by my neighbor that passed away. Some here may remember my "BX22 Left To Me" thread. So far I've put a new seat on, changed the front end oil over to 80/90 weight grease, tightened...

All, I'm in the process, as time allows, of rejuvenating the BX22 that was left to me a couple years ago. Yesterday afternoon I changed the front axle oil over to 80/90 weight grease and tightened the axle pivot castle nut. The castle nut was quite loose. The capacity of the front axle is listed...

Of course, in the middle of plowing a 3' blizzard here in the NE, the rocker pedal went limp and there is no drive, fore or aft. All other hydraulics seem to work fine. No lines that I can see are disconnected. However, the mower deck is in place and it has a lot of snow on it, so access is...

I have had the problem of the hydraulic couplers coming apart for no reason for many years, and have never found a reason for this happening. I can be using the backhoe, and shut the machine down for lunch, and when I come back, one of the couplers will have uncoupled. It happened again...

Sorry, tried searching, but to no avail. For a while now, the tractor has occasionally not cranked without moving the gear lever in and out of low and high a few times and then returning to neutral. However, today, no amount of fiddling will allow it to crank. (Started and ran fine for 30 min...

it's been a good day...

It is in like new condition. I decided to go with a factory thumb and convert to hydraulic. I paid $319 for it. Best offer takes it. Call, text, email if interested. (205)-242-3716 Here is link to a YouTube video showing the installation: http://youtu.be/XYHwoZuVdh0

I was using the tractor today and went to turn it back on and heard a pop/click and then nothing, no power. No idiot lights work with the key in the on position, nothing. Checked the fuses and voltage of battery. What am I missing? I have to giggle the drive selector to get it to start...

This was a great little machine and served me well. It was small but deadly.

Having problem with my bx22. Rear wheels spin freely when lifted, but will not engage to move in any position. Only front wheels will move. This is a Hydrostatic Drive. Please let me know if anyone has experienced this problem. Regards, Fred

I have owned my BX22-LA210-BT600 since 2003. It has about 320 hours. I have serviced it properly and it runs great. Today the LA210 Front End Loader lost power to lift. I could run the RPM up and dump the bucket and raise the bucket empty. Bucket roll seems fine. Back hoe seams fine. I...

The steering on my 2000 Kubota BX 22 is not responding properly. Gentle turns of the steering wheel do not turn the tractor. I have to apply a quick motion to the wheel to get it to respond. This makes adequate control difficult. Any ideas on what could be causing the problem. The hydraulic...

So it appears I have a gremlin in my BX22. I was digging a pond when the tractor suddenly exhibited a loss of power while going in and out of the pond. Pulled up in the shade and began troubleshooting different parts. Fuel is clean (replaced it last week), the bottom fuel filter is clean...

Hi first time posting here, its such a wealth of knowledge being able to go back through the forums and ask questions. :) I have a BX22 that I replaced both fuel filters and I dont see fuel filling the filter in the engine compartment the one down below is full. The motor will start up and run...

I am planning on installing six bluestone steps and will need to lift them into place. They weigh about 540 lbs and I was wondering if I can lift them if I add pallet forks. I have the manual and it shows the lifting values but I don't know which one refers to what I will be doing. Any help you...

Just thought I would provide pics of my work light install on the ROPS of my BX22. I used four five-LED strip lights from Amazon.com @ $25 each. Used a small project box to keep the electrical connections clean. Used JB Weld to secure the lights to the ROPS. No drilling, just ground off the...

Not sure if I've posted this before or not. I did a search and couldnt find it if I had...... A dear friend passed away this past November and in his will he left the little tractor and all implements to me. Here are a few pics of the tractor and implements. I havent done any thing to the...

I noticed a gash in the hose that attaches to the coolant overflow bottle on my BX22. (see attached photos, #100 on parts diagram) Do I need to replace this hose or are they manufactured like this? Can anyone tell me where to attach the other end, as I pulled it out inadvertently? Thanks...

A little background. I recently acquired a slightly leaky BX22 and assuming I had a 3 way control valve on the loader i ordered all new hoses coming out of the control valve from the dealer. When I went to install I realized hoses are all different and that is when i went back to schematic and...

Hello all, First of all, thanks to everyone on this forum for the wealth of information contained here. I am amazed as to how much I learned and how willing people are to share their knowledge. Reading through the forums guided me through a decision to get a tractor to begin with, then 4-5...

Had the front gear case on the left side of my BX22 crack yesterday when turning into a rather solid bank. Heard it pop, looked down and saw a large crack around the top of the gear housing. Got a friend that says he can weld anything, can this be welded? What kind of metal is this made out of...

Dealer sent me plain old wheel bearing grease. Isn't there something else for CVs? Thanks! DOC

Thanks to excellent input from here, I was able to remove the trans cooling fan with several missing blades and install the new fan on the hub. (No cutting required.) However, I found that whatever broke off half the blades on the fan at some point, also completely removed the boot. I cleaned...

I have everything needed to remove the floor out of the way in order to replace the trans cooling fan, EXCEPT the 3 point hitch speed control knob. I cannot tell if it threads on the shaft or is a press fit like the MMMD height control knob. I really do not want to break it. Does anyone know...

We have several blades missing from our trans cooling fan. It may have been this way for hundreds of hours, I do not know. I would like to wait until I have obtained a skid plate to keep this from happening again before I take it all apart. I would like to just do this once. Is it likely to...

The diesel shop working on our misfire problem, noted in another thread, found the plastic propeller shaft fan is missing some blades, causing vibration from imbalance. I suspect this may have been this way for many hours, though I had no clue about it until now. I am considering installing the...

I went to adjust the valves to address a misfire problem and attempted to remove the glow plugs, as I had been advised, to make it easier to turn the flywheel. I had no problem unscrewing one glow plug, but it would not come out of the hole with amount of force I was willing to apply. So, I had...

I buggered up the threads on a few of the rear wheel lug nuts on my BX22. Where can I mail-order some? I tried to navigate the Kubota & Messicks sites and was unsuccessful. Thanks.

I have a Kubota BX22 Tractor Loader Backhoe with a hydrostatic transmission. I recently replaced the trans-axle assy. where the pump and valve assy are. After replacing this part the hydraulic system is building pressure in the hydraulic fluid filter.

I have a bx22 tractor that came with turf tires. I now have to replace them and wanted to switch them to the industrial R4 tire. They don't make a 8" industrial tire so the dealership said I had to buy the tire wheel together. This changes the front wheel to a 10" wheel. The rear tires remain...

Got the transaxle apart to replace a failed HST and thought I would ask what you guys thought I should be doing as preventive maintenence while apart. It has 522 hours on it. DO the propeller shaft joints need service? u-joints? Thanks for any input! Brian

Trying to get my power steering cylinder off the Kubota BX22 to get it rebuilt. Followed the instructions on the BX22 WSM. Everything is unhooked and unbolted. removed the cotter pins and the slotted nuts on the tie rod ends but the tie rod won't come out of the hub unit. Is there a trick to...

My steering suddenly quit on my bx22. I can pretty much keep turning the steering wheel and the wheels don't turn. Any suggestions?

I was moving dirt when the tractor stopped moving. I put it in 4 wheel drive and only the front wheels turned. I took it to the barn with just front wheel power and noticed it was leaking fluid. There is a hole in the transmission case about 8 inches from the drain plug. Is it likely to be...

Ok my BX22 likes to creep/crawl forward when stopped. I am unable to find any posts about this. I know that there is got to be some kind of an adjustment but I am unable to find any information about adjusting the Idle/neutral on the HST. Simple description of whats happening is that when the...

Went and removed the deck on my BX22 to put and loader and BH on. I was surprised to see a layer of hydraulic oil on the deck. Looking underneath, all I could see was oil everywhere. Started her up and saw dripping from multiple places. Two hours later I had the floor pan off and saw a...

I own a BX22 tractor w/backhoe and frontend loader. Every now and then the hydraulic steering quits working and omly if you very quickly turn the steering wheel will the steering work.Has anyone got an idea how to fix this?

OK, Used the tractor last week in 40 degree weather. Hauled some firewood and drug the gravel drive a bit with the rake since it was above freezing.No problems starting and ran for about a hour. When I parked the tractor I tried to start back up and curl the bucket down like I normally store it...

Hello everyone, I thought I would join this forum to post a question/problem I am having with my BX22. It's about 5 years old. While sitting idle (not running) my wife discovered that the yellow signal lights were flashing. She tried to turn off any switches but nothing worked. After giving up...

I was using BX22 to move some gravel back and forth to fill in a drainage ditch I dug down the lane from my house. I did notice a little whining when using FEL to load gravel. Pretty normal so far. I was moving some dirt out of the way as I was filling the trench and dumped it. Then when trying...

After much research, I finally ordered a Salsco Model 600 wood chipper to help me tame the growing piles of branches, twigs and dead wood from the many trees on my property. Other brands I considered include DR, Mighty Mac, Patu, and Wallenstein. Settled on the Salsco because it seemed like a...

Still have over 18" of snow covering my lawn but looking ahead towards warmer weather, I am in the market for a grass catcher for my BX22, which has a 54" mm mower. Couple of questions perhaps someone can clear up for me... One dealer told me that the new grass catcher will not fit my BX22...

I live on 3/4 of an acre and am planning on buying a used bx22 to help with projects and maintenance. My question is whether I should get one with a mower? I have 10,000 square feet of lawn to mow and wanted to know if this size tractor is overkill for this size lawn or ok? Thanks for your help!

How to I find out the year of my BX22?

I'm about ready to buy my first tractor, and I'm looking at used BX22s. -Are there any known issues with the BX22? I've spent a little time searching the forums, but most of the comments I found deal with the BX23/24. -Any tips on what I should be looking for when I inspect one? -How...

I have a bx22 front axle leak looking for info

I'm looking at a 2002 BX22 with a factory loader, backhoe, and 60" MMM. 521 hours and it just had the 500 hour service. Asking price is $13,200. I'm in no hurry...my bigger concern is getting a good deal. Is this a good price? If not, what would be? Thanks, Richard

After I bought a new fuel filter and installed it under the tractor (it's located up stream of the fuel pump), I realized that there is a 2nd fuel filter in the engine compartment. Do most folks replace both, or just one or the other? BTW, if you haven't done this before, I recommend having...

I seem to recall other posts with this question. BX22 manual says 2.6 quarts (with filter change), but dip stick says more required. I'm inclinded to add oil, but concerned about over filling. Any suggestions. Thanks

I am about to replace the water pump with a leaking shaft seal on a BX22. (Don't have a repair manual for this rig.) Any suggestions and/or things to watch out for? Thanks! DOC

which model mowers fit the bx22 and what price range new and used should I expect to find. Any help will be appreciated

Last Dec I cut up a fallen tree and removed the stump with my backhoe. I then moved all the cut up tree trunk to another area in back. I put the tractor back in the barn. I have not used it since. Went out to the tractor and I can see where there was a line of drip marks on the gravel where...

I'm attempting to make a decision between a rear or front mount snowblower for my BX22 which is equipped with FEL & Backhoe. Understand the rear mount offers more choices, and is somewhat cheaper, but is driving in reverse and sitting sideways somewhat cumbersome? Rear mount also means keeping...

So Here's the deal. I picked up a CL B2781 with the BX2751 (quick hitch) & BX2752 (Mid PTO drive kit). This was originally on a B2630. I've found out through the arcane maze of Kubotas' parts & finally googled up a link to a attachments compatabilty PDF & lo'& behold the BX2752 will (90%...

Anybody know if these is a cab that will work on a BX22? I don't really want a permanent cab, it does get hot in the summer. :rolleyes: I'm really looking for a cab that I can put on for the winter months for plowing, snowblowing, etc. Thanx T-Man. :cool:

My BX22 showed little power with the rear wheels today. Had to put it in 4 wheel to get anything done. Could this be a fluid issue as I noticed some fluid spots under the rear axle where it was parked? Any suggestions?

Local guy has a 2001 or 2002 BX22. Has the FEL, Backhoe, & 60" belly mower. Machine has around 350 hours on it. Residential use only. It has all things I will use/need Still waiting to find out how often it has been serviced (to see if the guy took care of it) and I have not seen it in person...

Hello ! I'm looking to buy a used Kubota tractor with FEL & backhoe I can see on the market BX22 BX23,BX24,BX25 I was wondering if a BX22 would be nice buy , I have a very small land and allready have a tractor mower , so my use is for jobs with the backhoe and FEL more than anything else ...

Hello, I am having trouble replacing my bx22 headlight bulb. I have called dealers and they tell me the bulb is no longer available because they would break during shipping. Kubota suggests I have to replace whole lamp assembly. It does not make sense they would use a bulb that is only used in...

I am looking to upgrade my BX22 to a B2920 and I am looking for a little advise. The B2920 comes with a 16" bucket and I am thinking of downsizing to a 12" for the added breakout force. I use the bucket for small digging projects so I'm not sure I need a 16" bucket. Do you think the difference...

Hi y'all, first post here. I'm weighing a used BX22 TLB w/ MMM versus a brand spanking new BX25 without the BH, but with loader and MMM. They both price out at 15,100. The BH on the used unit has a nice thumb, and the loader has added brace and hooks welded on. This tractor is just shy of 1000...

When I searched for a TNT system for my BX22, I was pretty shocked by the cost of them. So I did some homework to find out what it really costs, and built one myself for just under $1000.. Some people will shy away when I say I built it myself, but stick with me here because it really isn't...

So I was looking at the hydraulic schematic for the BX22 and it looks to me like the BH valve is Open Center (1 line in, 1 line out). From the output of the BH valve, the juice flows to what looks to be the 3PH valve (shows a s.a. cylinder, and that's the only one I can think of on the...

The local Kubota dealer has both of these tractors that are used. the B20 has 1150 hrs and the BX22 has 1120 hrs and is asking $10,900 for it I don't know the price of the B20 . Both of these tractors have a loder and backhoe. What I am wondering is are both these tractors dedicated TLBs or can...

Thanks for the replies to my earlier post looking for some quick feedback. To everyone that recommended Barlow's, thanks - I talked to Brady and they are part of my consideration now. Bottom line, I have a few candidates that look like a solid value of condition versus price, a BX22, BX23, and...

This is the fourth time it has broken, and I'm getting tired of taking it off and rewelding it. Each time it breaks, it breaks in another spot. Has anybody had any problems with this issue before?

Thanks for the input from a few of you on the value of my BX22. I just sold it last night over the phone for $10,400. Not as much as I would have liked, but I feel that I did ok. We close the deal next Sunday, and I'm scheduled to pick up my new B3030, FEL, 60" MMM, and pallet forks the next...

I am trying to sell my 2003 BX22 TLB, 60" MMM, Ag and Turf tires mounted on rims, 60" Land Pride blade. The tractor has about 380 hours and is in real nice shape (lots of shine to the tractor and no scratches or dings other than the BH and FEL buckets of course). What is a fair price for this...

Please see my post in the "Hydraulics" section. Thanks, DOC

Please take a look at my post in the "Hydraulics" section. Thanks, DOC

Hope someone here can point me in the right direction. The LA211 loader on our BX22 developed a problem today (of course, just after the dealer closed for the weekend). After rolling the bucket forward, down and back to put it in position to push snow going forward, it no longer "bangs" when...

TBNers: Just wanted to put a post out here to let you guys know that I'm selling my BX22 on EBAY. The item number is 130283064699. I'm going to upgrade to a B3030HSD with Loader, BH, & 60" mower deck. My dealer didn't give me a very good trade in value on my BX22, so I figured I'd give...

I am thinking of upgrading from my rear blade to a rear mounted snowblower on my BX-22. Any pros or cons on the Woods Snowblowers? Any other makes recommended or to stay away from? Thanks

Has anybody had an issue where oil seeps through the front hub seal where it pivots (vertical axis) ? The dealer replace the seal three times and tried silicone around the seal seating surface but nothing seemed to fix it. The only thing I can think of is that the prev owner overloaded the...

We live in Central PA. Over foot of snow has left us stranded. Kubota BX22 has hole in gas tank; need to know where drain valve for fuel tank is located. Any response appreciated.

Hey, On my BX-22 with 60" Deck I have the Kubota Vaccuum Bagger attachment I bought used for my BX22 for the purpose of picking up leaves. It works great..... The one problem is I need to empty the three bags after about 400' of picking up leaves.Which means lots of trips to the mulch...

This may be better off in the mods section, but I'm hoping some other BX owner has dealt with this already.. I got a good deal on a King Kutter 48" rotary cutter (sorry, Rotary Kutter) but when I go to hook up, the lift arms will only take it 6-8 inches off the ground and I can't even get the...

I need new front tires for my BX22. They are 18x8.50x8 R1 powerlug type. I can not find any that size anywhere. Everyone is now selling 18x9.50x8 Has any one put the 9.50s on a BX22/2200? There sure is not much room between the tire and the tire rod.

I am looking at a 2003 BX22 TLB with 297 hours on it in good condition kept indoors by a homeowner. He wants $13995. I told him that was high given the cost of new & zero financing & he agreed but I didn't make an offer. I am thinking this is worth 11-12k? Am I being too stingy? Thank you! Brian

I was shoving a pile of brush and tree limbs with my BX22. A loose branch must have hit the release on hose 4 in just the right way to pop it loose (where the front FEL hose connects to the tractor hydraulics). The next time I went to roll the bucket, hydraulic fluid gushed from the control...

I am interested how much of a performance increase is gained in the loader & backhoe when making this step. Thanks

I would like to put a front snow plow on my BX22. Is a frame mount with a quick hitch an option? What controls it since my controls come off with the FEL? How good are the Curtis FEL mounted snow plows?

When my BX22 was new when you let off the gas it stopped on a dime. Now when you let off it doesn't. It also creeps slowly when sitting with the engine idling. How hard is this to adjust?

The o rings are leaking on the front diff housing where it attaches to the frame. (the diff housing attaches by means of a single bolt thru the front frame) I've looked at the parts manual and found the bushings and o rings for the housing, but I have a question for someone who has a service...

Hey guys, I have had a BX22 TLB for 6 years now (450 hours) and it is a perfect fit for my property of 2 acres (mowing 1.5 acres, 600 feet drive not to mention tons of loader projects) however, I recently inherited 24 acres - 16 of those are rented to the farmer next-door for hay production and...

Ok it's about time to replace the tires on my BX22. Anyone know a good source for AG tires locally in Western PA or off the net. I'm more concerned with traction than yard damage as I don't mow with the tractor and often get in to muck on my hillside property. I've read the Kubota shop may offer...

I found oil filter 15241-32090 cross over= hastings LF523, Fleetguard LF3591, Fram PH 3593, super tech ST3593A this has relief valve, also Napa Gold 1064, I have a cross over book for most filters. hope this helps the BX drivers. Paul.

Hi all, I am going to try and tackle digging out for a Bilco Door / Perm-entry pre cast concrete stairs for a basement access into my house with my BX22. PermEntry Basement Entrance - Detail information for PermEntry Basement Entrance I was instructed by the contractor who is going to drop...

So, I came across an ad on Craigslist for a BX22 with 166 hours, being sold for $4900. This raised some red flags, so I decided to contact the seller and ask why he's selling it for such a low price. His response seemed legitimate enough at first, but the "I will take care of shipping" part...

Tried to use my BX22 this morning and the gear shift is stuck in the high range and won't move. Owner's manual says don't force it, and to try holding the brake pedal down for several seconds to get it into neutral. This didn't work. Since I can't get it into neutral, I can't start it. Has...

I posted this in the Hydro section also. I just purchased a 3PH mounted log splitter, when I hooked it up to my BX22 it loads the rest of the hydro system down. I put in fluid, bled the lines by cycling the loader, 3PH and finally the splitter cylinder. The first time it moved at a moderate...

My neighbor stopped by the other day to tell me his BX22 wouldn't start and ask if I had any ideas. I told him to post the problem here and see what ideas you guys could come up with. He had problems getting a user name in a timely manner so he just searched and read old posts. The old posts...

New member wants guidance on what this rig is worth. I bought it in 2005from a fella who sold it as a result of divorce...without really thinking about whether I needed it or not. Too big to use around my house with lots of trees, rest of the 9 acres too steep for me to feel comfy using it...

A buddy of mine "destroyed" his BX22 tranny. The dealer thinks the damage may have been caused by locking the differential while the rear tire was engaged or moving. According to the dealer, the gears ground up, and the metal got lodged causing the housing to buldge outward, and it cracked the...

Tractor will start fine but turn off as soon as I let go of the key. Bad ignition switch or bad stop solenoid? Any troubleshooting tips? Thanks

I had some moisture in the loader valve on a BX22, and took the bottom cap off. When I did that, not only did the moisture come out, but the 4 small balls, 1 large ball, and the spring also fell out. I reassembled them with some white grease like the dealer said, but now, the lever won't stay...

Was doing some of the 300hr service on the the BX last night. Book says the cap. of the front axle is 5 quarts. Drained both sides of the axle and waited until it had pretty much quit dripping. I put the plugs back in and poured in about 2 quarts in the right side and then was pouring the rest...

I am new to this forum and have very limited knowledge of the inner workings of tractors/cars but I thought I'd throw out my situation. My BX22 is three years old with 250 hours. I was working on making a golf green when my tractor immediately shut down without any sputtering or other...

Hello, Is there any maket value for the backhoe and front end loader off of a BX 22 ? I own the BX 22 and I'm tired of the attachments being in the way in my barn. This is not and offer to sell at this time. I have come to realize that items can't be offered for sale in the forum section, so if...

Hello All, I am seriously considering buying a BX24. For those who have purchased a BX22/23/24...Do you now wish you purchased a new/used larger tractor? Any regrets? Thanks in Advance, Walt

Hello All, I am seriously considering buying a BX24 for my 15 acre mainly wooded suburban property. My list of projects are french drains, burying utilities, earth moving, trail clearing, small stump removal, landscaping, 75' pond and general maintainance. No mowing...I have a ZTR and refuse to...

This morning was supposed to go a lot different than it did. I took of work today because I was going to finish up working on the drainage ditch along the driveway. Gravel was to arrive at 9AM. I went out to the bota to hose out the FEL bucket so it would be clean for the gravel. I scraped out...

Can my BX22 handle this? Northern Tool Cement Mixer

Hi there all wise kubota owners. I have a problem with my FEL on my BX22. Its 3 years old and seems to have lost a lot of it's loading and digging power. When the tractor was new it would cut thru anything as long as I didn't bury the blade in the ground. Now it bogs down and spins the tires...

With the switch in the off position, one of my turn signal lights blinks while the other stays lit. Is this a wiring problem or some built in system to warn me of bulb malfunction? Anyone else had this happen? I haven't had time to check it out. Loose wire maybe? Switch problem? THANKS, Terry

After taking it off in early December I am trying to reinstall the backhoe for my BX22. For some reason neither of the two quick connects on the backhow will snap in place. The two on the tractor work fine. They had covers installed. Its like they are frozen or something. Any suggestions...

My BX22 will not start as if it is not in neutral, but it is. Is there another switch ?

I blew a hydraulic line yesterday using the back hoe. It was really irritating because I had put in a bit of time yesterday hauling debris out of my pasture & yard - - I had saved an oak stump from Katrina for the end of the day. I was looking forward to the BH work, but did not get beyond 5...

First time looking at tractors. Need a little advice. I am looking at a 2003 Kubota BX22. It comes with the FEL and backhoe. It has turf tires and 360 hours. What is it worth? The owner is asking $11,900. What should I look for when purchasing a used tractor? Thanks.

I posted this in the wrong forum before, perhaps someone can shed some insight. I noticed that the dash plate is held on by 2 sided tape and I was wondering if there is a certain kind of 2 sided tape I can use to re-fasten it with or can I just go with a heavy duty superbond tape without need or...

My dash plate fell off today, looks like it was held on with 2 sided tape. are the bulbs serviceable from under the dash or does the dash plate have to come off to swap the bulbs? I guess 2 sided tape is the best fix for this?:( anyone have this happen.

I posted this in the build it yourself forum, but wanted you BX22/23 folks to see this. Thats just over 500lbs of compressor, pallet, and clamp-on forks off the front of my BX22. The BX22 lifted it off a trailer (23in high) and carried it into my barn. Pretty impressive.

I have done a search but cannot find a reference to a service bulletin about the problem with the coupling coming loose off the mid pto shaft and causing damage. Does anyone know what the bulletin number is. My dealer has looked and cant find it. Thanks, Martin

Decided on compressor for my barn/garage - Quincy 5HP 60Gal which weighs about 400lbs. I can pick up at loading dock and they'll put it on my pickup. I'm wondering about using my clamp on forks (made similar to those designed by madreferee on this forum a few months ago, scaled down a bit for...

With about 250 hours on my BX22, it has proven to be a very good machine for my domestic needs. However, lately I've been doing a bit of backhoe work in my remodeling business laying drain tile. What seems a perfect tool for home seems painfully overmatched when using it for a living. While...

kubota bx22 won\'t run I have a BX 22 with 375 hours that suddenly shuts off. You can turn the key and it will start, run and throttle up as long as you hold the key clear to the right. Let go of the key or try to put it in gear or engage the PTO and it will quit. I have replaced the key switch...

Well, after 2.5 years of the horrible lights on my BX22, I bought a cheap(er) pair of HIDS for it. All I can say is I know my car (with HIDS) was good, but this is amazing. I mounted one ballast on the frame and one by the radiator. Very easy…Zip-tied the wires to the frame light the original...

This is my first post about my first tractor. Here goes... I searched the archives but couldn't find any help there. While using the box scraper I noticed the FEL boom was acting funny, would go up OK but not down. Then the 3PH wouldn't go up. One of the archive threads talked about a...

Hi, I am going to look at a BX22 which has 50 hrs and is said to be in "as new" condition. How much do the loader controls and ease of removal differ? What else is there? Does it still have cruise control? What is something like this worth? I have found used BX23's with 200+/- hrs for $13k...

The fan that cools that HST on the bx22 is a cheap plastic fan that is not well protected from branches that flip up under the tractor. I lost several blades off mine, so I ordered a new one (well 3 new ones to be exact). They are cheap, only $4 but it's not a 5 minute job! I tried to do it...

I have a BX22 and I am looking for a toothbar for the front bucket. I did search the archives and found a lot of info concerning this subject. My dealer is recommending the Woods unit but most on this list seem to be happy with the Markham unit. I'm not sure wether to go with Markham or Woods...

My wife has decided to buy a BX23 and a Power-Trac PT-425 to start up a growing nursery on our 10 acres and a small job landscaping business. The BX23 will be used mainly for BH work, to dig holes for larger trees and to help haul mulch and such. The PT will be doing the soil conditioning and...

Has anyone installed a front mount blower besides the Kubota brand blower? I would like to get a used blower and save some money. It seems impossible to find a used kubota blower. I realize people keep them a long time. I'm guessing they are fairly new for this size tractor.

Tomorrow I'm going to inspect a used RCK54-22BX MMM for my BX22. The owner said its complete, including the driveshaft, except for the "front mounting bracket." He stated this bracket doesn't come with the mower and has to be bought from Kubota. I tried searching the Kubota parts sites and...

I've noticed that my neighbor's BX22 backhoe doesn't seem to want to attach to the subframe very easily at the upper links. It seems that we silicone or teflon spray the upper links every time we hook it up, but the links still don't seem to want to move on their own. We always end up tapping...

didn't want to hijack the floppy bucket post, so here we are with a post of our very own. my bx 22 is coming up on 24 months in service in early august., when the warranty period ends. I have about 350 hrs on it. I have done all the service myself, with receipts from the dealer for parts...

The new MMM for my 2 year old BX22 is 2 inches lower on the left side in both the raised and lowered positions. The Kubota "how to adjust" instructions don't help. There is not enough adjustment in the upper lift links to level the MMM (I have the right upper lift link as long as possible and...

I’ve spent many hours reading posts here and learning about tractors. This is my first post and of course it would have to be about a problem! I have a BX22 with about 250 hours on it. I’ve been very good about maintenance intervals and such. The tractor has lost the ability to operate in...

new member here, great forum.... been lurking for some time. while thinking about how nice it would be to get a brush hog for the kubota and looking at the old gravely walk behind. something happened and now i have another project. has anyone ever put one of the old 30 inch brush decks from a...

$ Value of a 2001 BX22 TLB W/60\" MMM Hi, I am going to look at a 2001 BX22 TLB w/60" MMM on Saturday. It has 200 Hours and is in excellent condition. Can anyone tell me what a fair price is for this? Is there a source for used tractor values? Thank You! Paul

Had an oil sample sent in for the BX22, It claims that there was a close to dangerous level of fuel in the oil, I think it was 1.5%. the wear metals where fine, and the TBN was fine. the oil tested had 50 hrs on it and I run Mobil delvac 1300 super 15w40

Howdy.. Had the Bx 22's oil sent off for examination,(Mobil Delvac). All seemed to be OK except for the fuel in the oil that was reaching the danger zone at 1.5%. wear metal where close to normal but not great. Anyone else had there BX tested? seems like all my small engines dont deliver the...

Well it finally happened. My 3 year old BX22 with 420 hours finally broke something other than a air filter bracket and rear plastic light covers I knock off. I was digging out a stump (the last of 6) and just as the tree stump popped out of the ground there was a load pop and and spray from...

BX22 mower deck won\'t move--new memebr I put my backhoe on then went to put my mmm on. Noticed that the deck would not go up or down. Can't find a problem. Nothing seems bent etc. When I look at the hydraulic lines they are indicating that they are trying to work. After reading this board I...

does the bx22 hold 11 quarts in the tranny?? I cant find my book.

Thank you for assisting me remotely with this purchase. I closed the deal today. I'm a tractor neophyte from the suburbs. I'm also posting so other newbees/NFGs/neophytes/green horns may benefit. Dealer was great! After I did my homework across multiple web sites, forums, eBay, Iron Planet...

Now that the good weather is here again I am thinking about a canopy once more. I really like the new one from Firebird Fiberglass that they have at www.tractorsunshade.com . I was wondering if anybody out there has a BX22/23 with a canopy and if they had any pictures of what the canopy looks...

In the market for a rotary tiller for mom's BX1800. Our dealer gave my mom a quote for a 42" and 50". Saying both would work on the BX(he is our Kubota dealer). So I'm trusting they would fit the "limited" hitch. No front ballast required(no loader on BX). I'm leaning toward the 50" since it...

I've finally got some pictures posted on my website detailing the DIY excavation and preparation for my Raised Center Aisle steel barn. Got a lot of good advice from this forum to help me. Barn

Anybody know what are the differences between a BX22 and BX23? I'm thinking of getting a used BX22, but don't want to miss any important new features of the BX23. I know in other posts the 4 position valve was mentioned, ? anything else? Thanks very much, George

A couple of weeks ago I read a post concerning an off brand Top Link for the BX22 that could be purchased from a JD parts department. I bent mine pretty good and don't want to have to pay $60+ dollars for one if I don't have too. Does anybody remember the post or the JD part number for the...

After doing my 100 hour service, I was looking over the engine to see if everything was in good shape, and I noticed a nut missing over a strip of metal that is attached over the injectors. Attached is a pic of this. Anybody know what this is? Thanks for your help!

buying a bx22 I recently found a bx22 (tractor, loader, backhoe, trailor) that I reeeeeally want to purchase (used), but...it is 2000 miles away. The private owner suggests we use a company called "Sqaure Deal" to set up an equity account, then I would put in a down payment (rather a large one...

Since the weather is getting warmer, it is getting closer to the time that I will need to purchase a post hole digger. Any recommendations? I have looked at the Woods 1110 and that is what the dealer recommended, but I have seen pictures of the 1130 mounted on the BX, even though the dealer...

I know that this subject has been kicked around many times before, and I am wondering what the latest development from Kubota is to repair this troublesome problem. Mine has just broken. Does anyone have the latest part numbers to order?????? thanks Junk....

owning-ML-572980-ML- Please post brand specific questions to the brand of the tractor.

I've always feared it, now I've gone and done it. I inadvertantly added gasoline to my bx22 diesel!!! Engine started to miss, shudder, and lose power. I ran it for about two minutes to try to determine the problem, then shut it down. When I realized what I had done(gasp), I drained all fuel...

I'm going to sell my BX22 with loader/backhoe/60" Kubota midmount mower (plus attachments once the tractor goes). I'm trying to get an idea on what a fair asking price for this unit would be that has under 200 hours in residential use and has always been garaged. Any ideas from those of you...

I have been using Rotella Synthetic 5W40 since my first oil change at 50 hours. Did it again at 100 hours. Now it is at 150 hours and it is very cold out in the garage. What are the opinions.... can it go till spring for its next oil change or should it be done now at the 150 mark?

(I posted this on the projects forum, but wanted to get opinion here as well)...Planning a DIY 36'x24' pad for a steel barn (SOCAL area). Std 4in pad with 2-4in gravel underlayment, 12"x12" footing. If my calcs are right, about 15.5 yds of concrete. I've done a moderate amount of concrete work...

This is a picture of my frony axle vent on my BX22. I didn't get around to adding hose clamps because I am going to replace the rubber line with steel braided line. Thanks for the idea bluecon1. Jeff

My tractor is approaching 2 1/2 yrs old and the battery seems to be faltering. Wondering what others in this age group are experiencing in terms of battery life. Can someone recommend a good replacement? ps...looks like mine has also started the HST "slow to return to neutral" behavior

Gee, A Kubota BX22 only $140,000 \"buy it now\" What a deal!!!!! ebay link Edit: Shortened url

Hi all, When the FEL joystick is pushed into the float position is it supposed to lock in that position? If I take my hand off of the joy stick it springs back to the neutral position. Is this normal? Thanks in advance, Jeff
