Many times, a manufacturer calls an item "out of stock", but the truth is that it is no longer carried in inventory because, for the most part, it is obsolete. Some savvy reseller will purchase all the remaining stock from the manufacturer for pennies on the dollar, and will list it on Amazon...

What difference does it make if he were a Mexican, or, for that matter, any other nationality? For a website that says "no politics," many posts in this thread seem to be skirting that "no politics" policy.

Sometimes it is faster and easier to cut the hose in the middle: use a sharp razor to cut the end lengthwise, then carefully roll the rubber hose off with a pick. Do the same on the radiator side and replace it with a new rubber hose from the auto parts store. Doing it this way will allow you...

Try jumping the tractor off of your car or truck. Many times the battery will have enough energy left in it to cause the solenoid to click, but not enough to turn over the engine. Use a good pair of jumper cables, not some wimpy, cheap, thin copper wire, for best results. If you don't have a...

Looking at the parts breakdown of the BX2822, it appears to be quite complex. If Kubota doesn't offer a WSM, do you know if RAD offers one to the dealerships? thanks

Thanks for that information. Does Kubota ever issue workshop manuals for accessories it sells, like a snowblower or a rear tiller?

I found the problem. On the left side of the rear of the blower, a small piece of steel had either cracked or torn away and was sticking out just enough to catch on the edge of the fan. Using a large pair of pliers, I was able to bend it away enough for the fan to clear it. I also realize...

Only if it is properly pounded in place after pouring.

Before Teflon tape, we used pipe dope and cotton thread to take up the gaps.

The OEM turf tires that came with my 2019 BX23S are showing signs of sidewall cracking, whereas the BX22 (2003) that came with turf tires was still crack-free in 2019 when I sold the tractor. I did have to replace the rubber valve stems after about 5 years, but that was a simple task using a...

Use Locktite 640 or 660 on it, and make sure that the tractor is in a warm garage when you do the repair. Allow 24 hours for the Locktite to set up. Next time it needs to be replaced, you will need to use heat to break the Locktite bond.

Yes, I checked the part number on the Messicks website. In fact, after I ran out of #2-inch and a quarter 1/4" SAE bolts, I tried a Grade 5 bolt, and it also sheared. This confirmed that something was wrong with the snowblower when the engine was brought past 1500 RPM. Presently, the snow is...

Back in the 1960s, when Teflon tape was first introduced, it was intended for NPT that had been assembled and disassembled multiple times, with the sharpness of the threads worn off. Wrapping the threads with teflon tape would take up the slack and create a secure, leakproof seal. Now, you...

This is all gear reduction and no chains. The BX2816 is a chain unit, often sold to homeowners, while the BX2822 is a commercial unit. Since my BX2822 is out of commission, I am using a BX2816, and it isn't half the machine that the BX2822 is.

Belts are like a marriage: you never know what you are going to get until you buy them, and even then, some start off great and decline with use.

While rare, a coin can technically land on its edge, but in standard probability, only the two face sides are considered.

All customers bring us joy. Some when they come in, and others when they leave.

No, the hole isn't deformed, and it is only a grade 2 bolt, so it will shear quickly and cleanly should it encounter any object that doesn't belong inside the snowblower. Does anyone know if there is a service manual that the Kubota techs use to repair snowblowers? If so, do you know where I...

Yes, it is the impeller shear bolt, and I did not notice any witness marks. It is fine turning at an idle, but as soon as you increase the speed and engage snow, it will snap the shear bolt. I am not over-tightening the shear bolt. Earlier in the season, the snowblower picked up a piece of a...

I had the same problem a month or two ago, and after struggling with it, I got it into the garage and put a heater blowing on the engine. Once the engine was warm, the problem went away. I discounted the floater in the tank, since I have had a coffee filter in the filler neck for about 3 years...
