Nice video Mike!! If I may, I would like to mention a couple things as a BX23s owner who has done a couple services on my own unit, and I have been a heavy mechanic for 40 years. The backhoe should be removed during a service for two reasons. The front end becomes very light and a bit dangerous if you hit the forward pedal hard without the FEL, and also you can access a mesh screen for the hydraulic fluid that is at the rear on the left side of the transmission that should be cleaned as well as the filter you replaced (yes, even at 50 hours). This involves changing all the hydraulic fluid in the trasmission, but it is a good idea since there is usually silicone bits floating around from manufacture that get caught in this small mesh filter. Great that you used the Kubota filters and oil because they are good quality. A good Rotella oil will also suffice. The engine filter should be filled with oil before installation. This helps with pressure on startup, but most importantly it pre-soaks the paper element so that it does not blow out on startup. Please take this as helpful advice and not criticism. You did a great job explaining to new owners who would like to do the maintenance themselves.
Brent... I hav a BX23s as well... both filters are installed horizontally. How do you fill them with oil and not drench your feet/face with oil? I’m genuinely curious.
@@sassafrasvalley1939 HA, good question!! You do not actually fill the filter to the top with oil. If you fill the filter approximately 1/3 to 1/2 full and let the oil seep into the filter media, it will not run out of the filter when turned sideways. Keep adding oil until it is obvious when it will spill if you turn it horizontal. You may be surprised at how much oil can be in a filter when the filter media is wet. Also, make sure that you put oil on the rubber sealing ring as Mike showed in his video.
Mike, thanks so much for this video. I have had my BX23s for about six weeks. I have a little over 31 hours on the BX and will need this exact service in just a few weeks. Very informative, it will be a great guidance for me. Thank You!
I really enjoy watching your videos. You have a great hard working family. I really admire your confidence in speaking publically. I have the same speech impediment as you , (enunciating my L’s,)and probably because of bullying when younger I am hesitant to speak publically. I am working on it. Thank you.
Hey Mike, to help with loosing your oil plug in the drain pan I use an old piece of filter media it’s plastic it’s about 3/4 of an inch to an inch thick I laid in the bottom of my oil pan this way I can just drop the plug-in and let the filters drain out properly works like a charm. I enjoy your videos keep up the good work and stay safe. Marcel from Manitoba Canada..... oh and Have a Day!
Been watching for about 6 months. Really enjoy the videos. Started going back and watching older videos. Seen a Slippery Rock shirt in one. Used to travel 79 to Meadville to visit family. And my x father in law used to work at a Christian camp up that way called Deep Valley. Good memories. And good channel
I have to admit that the front loader assembly on that tractor is one of the sweetest designs I have ever seen., we wish the Morgan’s and all their subscribers a great thanksgiving!
Great job Mike you may or may not know when it is time to change fuel filters you can see one but the bx has one up under the floor board. It's up above the hydraulic filter and can be a gripe to get to. I know some folks who changed the one on the motor and didn't know about the other one and had problems. It's nothing but an online filter but it can be a pain to get to. Thanks for sharing great video
Changed my oil in the middle of nowhere once and forgot to put the plug back. Surprising to see a dry stick after filling up. Had to ride a tractor to town for more oil. Lesson learned.
Mike - Great video. You're doing this maintenance took me back to the 70s when I worked part time in a service station doing oil changes on cars. The list of what to do, to do it right, is pretty much the same. Thanks for sharing. Blessings to you, Melissa, and the family. Hi to Hunter, Hannah, and Eva.
Don't forget to clean the screen infront of your radiator. It tends to plug up with fine debris. Especially if you use your BX to mow grass. :). Nice seeing Ty. My daughter just had my first grand baby, it's pretty awesome. Too bad her dad is a John Deere guy lol.
Hey Mike nice work. I wanted to add that there is a hydraulic screen filter that needs cleaned as well. It's kind of behind the left rear tire. I did my 50 hour service at 46 I think and mine had some shavings in it.
Nice work. I have a 2350 with a loader, never have removed it to maintaince it. The most fun you can have is changing the fuel filters (2). Drizzle down your arm factor is off the charts.
Hey Mike thanks for the video. Your grandson is cute. Nice job on the Kabota. I have an older model. BX 22.It’s a handy little machine helps me with my firewood. I use it to help me with the big rounds.
i kinda have mishaps with oil also, just yesterday i was changing the oil in my DK55 KIoti after i drained the oil i removed the filler cap and somehow dropped it, me and my wife looked in the leaves for 20 min. and didn't find it, so i emptied the oil out of the pan into jugs and there was the filler cap in the pan of oil. mental note- remove old oil pan when finished draining
I took one of those cheap filter wrenches that is made to fit on the knureled end of the filter and welded a cut down a 3/8 socket to the wrench so i could use a ratchet, the hard part is finding the right size to fit your filter. This works if you have enough room on the bottom of the filter to fit the wrench and ratchet.
No spills? Congrats. I usually need a shower after I grease and change the oil😕. Thanks for sharing. Cute Grandson. Glad to see he is no longer afraid of you.
Oh you should also check the coolant overflow tank because it looks to be way UNDER the add line . You may want to fill that up to the full mark when cold !! I seen it when you checked the oil . Also a good tip is always check the old filter for the old seal that it also came off with the old filter . I seen a lot of times it sticks on the tractor so when you put the new one on it leaks because it now has 2 seals and it wont leak till you start it up.
I’m glad Ty dropped the 10’ rule. There’s nothing like holding the first (or any) grandchild. Enjoy every minute of it. Won’t be long and he’ll be on that tractor showing off his skills.
3" of rain here in west central Indiana on Sunday. Finished dropping, cutting, splitting and stacking an old 70 ft tall cherry. It had been dead for some years but was leaning into a maple. It was a rascal to get on the ground, but me, my Stihl 028 Super and my 99 Silverado 4x4 got 'er done. I was surprised how much good firewood was still in it. I got a full cord out of it. Ty is a cutie. I wish we got to see our grandchildren more, but with this COVID stuff, it kind of puts a link in things. Great video. Good information. It looks like Kubota put a bit of thought into maintaining this tractor. Have a day!
I used to fence post leaners down until one backed up on me and almost knocked me out! I now cut them off at the base and use my Truck to pull them down to cut up.
@@oldmanfred8676 , I wanted to do that but every cut I made, the darn thing sat on the ground. Had to make 3 cuts before my truck could jerk it down. I didn't have a lot of room to pull it.
Wow you and Ty have come along way. I know what you were going through. I took almost 2 years before my granddaughter Mia wanted to have anything to do with her Opa
Hey Mike! Good video on tractor service. I did the 50 hour service on my RK37. A good learning experience for an old aircraft mechanic. Good to see you and Ty together. Cherish the early days, they go quickly. Say hi to Hunter!
I just did the 400 hour service in my L3901.. wouldn't ya know.. while pouring out the old 6 gallons of hydraulic fluid.. there was the washer for the lowest drain plug!!! D'oh!
Hello again from MA. Good job Mike! I only saw a couple of drops of oil.😁 One thing I always do is put oil or fluid in the filter before installing it. I've got a BX2200D and I have never taken the loader off of it in 18+ years, not even to do service. A warm hello to your family. It just started raining here. Have a day!
That is a good sounding machine. Humming like a sowing machine. Did u notice all that rust? It might b a good time to paint it so 25 years down the road when I can buy it u won’t have any rust on it
Drove by the local kubota dealer yesterday. As I was creeping by slowly lookin, I noticed Trina was giving me that look so I just continued on. Lol. Guess I'll be sticking to the ole ford 8n longer. Have a day.
ALERT! Even if you are not interested in the tractor maintenance you'd better watch the video because he has a hidden gem in the middle. He is hold Ty and trying to get him to talk to the camera. Priceless! Keep playing hard to get Ty!!!!
Mike I really appreciate the effort you went to in making this video. It took some effort to get that camera placed for all of the shots under the tractor.
Greetings from eastern Ontario. Nice video of grandpa and his grandson. From one grandpa to another what I find works best is candy. Lots of it. HAHA. Cheers.
A quick tip on the oil change is to add some oil to the new filter, or go ahead and fill it. Then, when you start the engine, it won't be sucking air until all of the oil is flowing properly.
hello Mike. at 9:32 am I see your coolant is too low I think. as far as i can see it on the video it is below minimal. maybe check it carefully with the coming frost period. with kind regards Hollandduck from the Netherlands
The last four Bobcats I've owned and my current one all have had kubota engines and all had big oil capacities (9 quarts) I think that's a kubota feature in all there engines, you can't beat them!. Before you know it ty will be doing all you digging!, lolo!. You guys enjoy your Thanksgiving!.
On my BX2200, when I change the filters, I write the date and number of hours on the filters. That is the easiest way for me to keep up with oil changes.
Greetings from middle Tennessee! On trek back to NC with both sons. -- you sure have easier operations than on my old Ford 3000. I despair of ever taking that FEL off. As a mechanic put it, in those days they married FELs to tractors. There’s both easier access to fluids and a lot less of it too! I think a full oil, transmission, hydraulic, and power steering change is 13 gallons for me. And most of it is hard to access, with overflow plugs for checking level, which actually institutionalizes oil spills. I think you’re the only person I’ve ever seen so fastidious they power wash a tractor before a rain! 😉 Y’all have a good Thanksgiving!
I have two grandsons 3 and 6 months. Wherever papaw is they want to be, right in the middle. Can’t get anything done in a reasonable time and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. If I’d known grandkids were so highly valued I’d been more rotten with mine ha! Truth told I probably was already.Tys gonna be the same you can already see him watching everything your doing.
Hey there Mike i really want to get the BX23s for around my house i have a lot to do and after my stroke its harder to do the things i use too. Thanks for sharing the video
I'm with ya on the oil spiller thing...with the exception that...instead of spilling it everywhere...I spill it and get it all over me ! I don't understand why, but when I change oil...the spill ends up on me !😁😅🤣😂
Every time I go to change oil in something, it never fails, I either drop the drain plug in the oil pan, or drop the oil filter into the full oil pan splashing oil all over the place. So, before I do an oil change on anything I make sure I have some cardboard boxes handy and slide them under whatever I'm working, the cardboard soaks up the oil and makes for a mess free oil change.
Geez! They sure made disconnecting the stuff easy. I always pour some oil into the filters that go on horizontally. Those that go straight up I fill. It's said that over time, more wear is done to the engine by having an empty filter than normal wear is.
More wear is done to the engine when you forget to put oil back in the engine or forget the drain plug and add oil...or both LOL...just ask Jiffy Lube they're great for doing both those HAHA!!! Although I've never pre-filled any of my filters some people think they need to...I've never had an engine issue in 30+ years.
you used a wrench to tighten them didnt ya....didnt ya mike. I saw those sections specifically cropped out. Just cant shake the old habits haha. Ah well, great job not spilling a drop! Tractor looks great, although I am missing the old red ones.....just a bit Cheers
Hey Mike - Thanks for the informative "how to" vid. Did I happen to notice the coolant fluid needed topping off? Hope you enjoy your upcoming days off!!
Yep, its definitely low. Mine was like that too upon delivery from the dealer. Topped mine off right away as well as torqued all the bolts down, I was quite surprised how many bolts were not torqued including most of the lug nuts and a couple of loader mounting bolts.
I'm a spiller. I have dropped the filter into the pan splashing oil out, dropped the pan, moved it too quick and slopped oil out, over shot the pan, etc, etc. Never tried a drain pan like yours. I was always afraid it would splash too much.
A pleasure to watch this being done without cursing!! Previous life experience!!

Wow! Grandson Ty is really warming up to Pap!!!🥰🥰🥰
I use a black sharpie to write the current machine hours on the filter, it helps keep up with when it next needs changed.

My son is always spilling oil. Last time, not a drop...until he was all done and drove over the oil pan!
Lol
I laughed really hard then stopped because I realized that is something I would do.
I get the oil "spiller" thing. I changed oil on a mower once a didn't spill a drop. Best day of my life!

just did my 50 hr maintenance on my kioti tractor and they recommend changing all the hydraulic oil.
Awsome keeping up with the maintenance program! The machine will last longer for you!!👍👊
That's an amazingly smooth running little engine.
Mike, I have a ton of those yellow Kirkland microfiber towels from Costco. Always tear the tags off. They can scratch your paint on a vehicle.
They are crazy inexpensive for as many as you get and they are pretty nice to use

I have the Mahindra and this looks better then what I have to do with my unit. My hydraulic filter is hard to get to because of cross beams
Hi Ty yep will ride with grandad. My sister s about same age. Green one though.. The wormest spot was on the deaky plate?.

It is a good thing to do. He can get by with it this time because it’s the 50 hour mark
I do that with my equipment as well. Makes for a quick visual reminder for services that need done soon.

Just did the 400HR on my BX2380. Easy to do however the fuel filter back by the HST fan is "less than fun"
And that is NO JOKE!

That maintenance that you have done on your BX 23 Mike can also be used as a guide for all small tractors 🚜.
hello Mike.
at 9:32 am I see your coolant is too low I think.
as far as i can see it on the video it is below minimal.
maybe check it carefully with the coming frost period.
with kind regards Hollandduck from the Netherlands
💥 Ty just needed an orange toy like his Pap. Nice service video. 👍
*Keep on tractoring!*
Hey Mike, you can get actual Channellock filter pliers. Work great.
The last four Bobcats I've owned and my current one all have had kubota engines and all had big oil capacities (9 quarts) I think that's a kubota feature in all there engines, you can't beat them!. Before you know it ty will be doing all you digging!, lolo!. You guys enjoy your Thanksgiving!.
On my BX2200, when I change the filters, I write the date and number of hours on the filters. That is the easiest way for me to keep up with oil changes.
Routine maintenance sure helps the Equipment. On old equipment it will help You catch a problem early and prevent a breakdown.

Thanks Mike for the walkthrough on the 50. Did the hydraulic filter have a magnet? How did it look?
Ty is just wondering when he can start to play with grandpa's toys! Lotsa goodies!
That's a $30 "something-something to lay on". hahaha. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks!
Just bought a new 2380, that's some great info.
Great I dwa of dating the filters & hours
It won’t be long and Ty will be your best helper. You’ll have a struggle getting him off the equipment if he’s anything like my grandkids.
Great video. Coolant bottle appeared to be almost empty??? Keep em' coming.
Mike didn't see the new hydraulic fluid go in. I'm sure you did it as it was very quiet driving it over to install the loader.
How to make routine maintenance interesting With Mike Morgan 🤗🤗
Congratulations on your and Ty’s new relationship! I bet it’s great getting to hold your #1 grandson....finally! Best part of today’s video! ❤️
Geez! They sure made disconnecting the stuff easy. I always pour some oil into the filters that go on horizontally. Those that go straight up I fill. It's said that over time, more wear is done to the engine by having an empty filter than normal wear is.
More wear is done to the engine when you forget to put oil back in the engine or forget the drain plug and add oil...or both LOL...just ask Jiffy Lube they're great for doing both those HAHA!!!
Although I've never pre-filled any of my filters some people think they need to...I've never had an engine issue in 30+ years.
I only spill oil when I try not to, when I don't think about it, not a drop but as soon as I take my time and plan the job, its everywhere.
Can’t wait to see you put rubber wallpaper up in the new building when that grandson gets mobile.
Don't forget to top off the hydraulic fluid 🤔 Just saying 😁 Have a day 👍🙏✌️
Mike that is so easy compared to my older bc. Field in Michigan
you used a wrench to tighten them didnt ya....didnt ya mike. I saw those sections specifically cropped out. Just cant shake the old habits haha. Ah well, great job not spilling a drop! Tractor looks great, although I am missing the old red ones.....just a bit
Cheers
What was the second clear liquid filter that you changed? Why did you change it?
Hydraulic filter, Kubota calls for changing it
Hey Mike - Thanks for the informative "how to" vid. Did I happen to notice the coolant fluid needed topping off? Hope you enjoy your upcoming days off!!
Yep, its definitely low. Mine was like that too upon delivery from the dealer. Topped mine off right away as well as torqued all the bolts down, I was quite surprised how many bolts were not torqued including most of the lug nuts and a couple of loader mounting bolts.
I'm a spiller. I have dropped the filter into the pan splashing oil out, dropped the pan, moved it too quick and slopped oil out, over shot the pan, etc, etc. Never tried a drain pan like yours. I was always afraid it would splash too much.
Hey! The garage doors are on the Hobby Castle! Did I miss that?
Helpful video. Isn't there a hydraulic suction screen that needs to be cleaned or changed on this model?
Thanks mike
Hi Mike Can hear the rain on your video. Did I miss you topping up the hydraulic fluid? Nice to see Ty with you
You need to check out this item for your grease gun it's called lock and lube
Put the date and hrs on the filters with a sharpie,it helps you remember and the next guy
Did you put the hydraulic fluid in and where and where does hydraulic fluid go. I'm just one of those guys who like to see everything 🙂.
Between the rear tires in the back, on the right hand side is the hydraulic dipstick and fill, it’s got an orange cap.
Thanks for sharing your video with us. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. Hello Ty hello Hunter. Ed
