How did I do? (Used BX2360)

I'm loving the photo tutorial, I've tried to search but haven't been able to find one on either the MMM or FEL, what am I looking at for maintenience on those guys?

Ina word... Grease! There are multiple grease fittings on each. The loader calls for every 10 hours of use and I don't recall the interval for the mmm. The mmm also has a gear box that needs its oil level checked. If you have an air compressor a pneumatic grease gun is handy but not necessary.

On the FEL grease every ten hours of use and I grease all of the zerks on the MMM every time we mow and there are a lot of them, all are reasonably easy to get to with the exception on the one on the drive shaft in the rear, it can be done, but it's hard and has to be turned just right. I use a hand operated gun with a rubber extended hose, some use electric or air.

In the winter I take the belt off the tensioner and the spring is pretty stout, many stand it on its side and clean thoroughly and store on the side, bolts (30mm) on the MMM torque at 75-80 ft lbs be sure to watch the orientation of the washers when removing as they are cupped and must be installed a certain way to work properly, keep blades sharp.

FEL is easy to remove and install: Removing a loader from the Kubota BX24 - YouTube

I am sure I am leaving something out.

I got the tractor yesterday and so far so good. It didn't come with any books so I ordered a WSM that covers the tractor, mower and loader. I've read some mixed reviews on those so hopefully I don't regret it because the darn thing wasn't cheap!
