Can you add shims to a BX25D Hydraulic System with the BH On?

.???? Thanks

Sure, just make to to use a gauge to check the pressure before and after.

I don't see it's possible with the BH on, I can't see the bottom bolt with the BH on. I'll drop it.

I did mine with the BH on. Invest in the WSM. It shows where the relief valve is and part #s for the shims. You have to remove the left rear tire to get at the valve. I'm set mine at 2000 PSI, what a difference.

I would be surprised if a dealer shop will do this work due to liability issues. My dealer shop foreman did advise me on the pressure he considered "probably" safe.

WSM: I know I am **** about this but; if you can afford to buy and maintain the tractor you can sure afford the WSM. That is why I always reference it and not provide detailed info or pictures out of it

I bought the WSM and it has paid for itself in the few things I have monkeyed with. I struggle a bit with it but it is a super reference. I'm the kind of guy that reads the instructions last. :banghead:

Mark, I would not be without it. Yah, my WSM is my last resort also. It has bailed me out of a trip to the dealer several times. I shy away from $125/HR as much as I can. Still no major problems with my BX. I am willing to help the guy who has a WSM and needs help understanding it but am loathe to help the free loaders that are to cheap to buy one. What's $100 when you have bought a $20K or more tractor.

I changed mine without removing the BH or taking the tire off. I just used a deep-well socket, a u-joint socket adapter and a long extension. By the time I got it together, the ratchet was where I could use it without hitting anything.

Watch a few you-tube videos on how to do it. It is very easy, but you do need to build/buy a tester before you make any changes.

Good for you. I agree, and have a special place for those who won’t buy even an operator’s manual when they buy a used tractor.

That'll teach 'em. Sure hope they don't learn they can go to Kubotabooks and view the WSM free.
