Thank you to Paul and Kathy. You guys have educated me on many aspects of my tractor.
They look marvelous, Paul! They reminded me of the covers that Rough Country puts on their shocks. Thumbs up as always!
Enjoy your videos Paul. And of course they wouldn't be as good without your better half keeping you on the straight and narrow. Wishing you a speedy recovery. God Bless you both.
Got my boots from you, got my ball joint remover tool, now I need the time, and a pair of fresh cotter pins. Good tip to leave the inner joint mounted on the steering ram, but nice to see one off the ram to fully see its mechanics. Thanks for all you do! these boots are an arse pain to keep dealing with, so glad to finally have a durable replacement.
Watched it all too! Thanks!!!!!
Had a dream last night I got a BX23s with loader backhoe and mower. Woke up and reality hit me that Im probably lucky to get a BX 1880 with loader and mower! Never owned a riding mower or tractor but need one now and have watched hours upon hours of videos! You guys are Great!! Thanks! n God Bless!!
Thanks Tom. Once you get a tractor you'll wonder how you ever did without it. Great machines. The Kubota's are fantastic reliable machines that really hold their value. Happy to hear you enjoyed our videos. Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy Easter and God bless you and your family.
Just watched your next video on the trees another entertaining one. I will be looking forward to the B video.Thanks very much for your channel.
great video always learn something - that JD yellow looks sharp on the Kubota
Thanks but it's Kubota yellow as well. Pointed it out in the video ;)
Thanks Paul and Kathy it's been another good day....I once again learned something new!
Just got my new BX2380 watching alot of your vids to get smarter .Trucked a couple time out to your world from the states. Loved it....
Thanks Joe. I was a heavy equipment operator for many years then later on in life I discovered Kubota’s. Great machines but watch out. There’s plenty of info out there that’s not accurate but you’ll know what’s right because of your background.
We love these machines so much we decided to shut down our automotive shop and go into designing and fabricating accessories for the BX and Kubota’s larger machines. Just love the job.
Congrats on your BX. The best machine on the market, hands down.
If you like looking around the net check ou our site. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, Paul! Watching you videos since start of channel. Saved me few thousands already as I am able to service my BX myself. Current boots problem is heading me now - during last service inspection showed that after 3 years Kubota original boots started cracking. Here in New Zealand we do not have many options for getting aftermarket parts except originals... So, thanks again for guidelines and I will be replacing this parts next months probably.
That's great. Thank you very much for watching. Great hearing from you.
In one of your videos you got a "Kubota BX Inner Tie Rod Boot Upgrade Kit" from eBay. At that time your advice was to get one as it was looking good quality product, but the seller had at that time some strange pricing (like millions of dollars) for item and that was the end of story. I had a look now - product is back and the price is $25. Did you have any update about those boots? I can't remember I seen one, but may be I just missed it.You installed them on one of the tractors - did it survive better than originals? Is it an option for solving the problem? I am looking to order a set from somewhere and want a better than original quality as I am a bit disabled and try to avoid unnecessary activity as much as possible.
Thank you for posing video of the common problem with the dry rotted boots.
Paul you are the master! Thank you for all of your tips & tricks I'll take a set when you become a dealer for the new boot.
Thanks for your time!
Outstanding tutorial as always... 😃👍
Of course I watched the whole video, ha, and a nice video it was. Great job as always and thanks for posting it and thanks for all the effort that goes into making them.
I too watched the entire video of the BX getting fancy new yellow rain boots. :)
Yep, JD yellow looks good on most anything. :) Hope they last longer then what was on it. I've got a few more hours on mine. Coming up on 800 hours. Thanks for the video. I'm still learning. Take care and God Bless! Levi~~
Now you know Kathy will need some fancy Italian boots .
Take care !
Thanks for sharing, and I always watch the FULL video! LOL Thanks again.
Very nice of you. Thanks.
Another great video, God bless you and your family
Fine video as usual. I've kept my 2008 bx24 in decent shape with Paul's help. The plastic hood has now cracked. Paul, I'd love something on fixing or patching a crack in the body.
Hi Thanks for all the video's. I was very impressed with your work that I bought a Kubota for the Scouts Canada camp in eastern Canada. BX25D with backhoe.
very near the top of least favorite things to change on my vehicles I feel your pain thanks for sharing
Excellent Video as usual, really love all the attention to detail and complete explanation...Can't wait to get the results of the stress/live use test...They look great, but if they can make yellow ones, the manufacturer should try and get orange ones...LOL
Great Video. I replaced a ball joint on my BX, but not a boot. This is something I will probably be doing this summer. I power steering cylinder must be leaking internally requiring me to turn my steel on side slopes to stay running in a straight line. not a problem when warmed up(which is weird).
Enjoyed as usual. Great vid to come home to after a couple of days in the ulu (Never never).
Hey Paul and Kathy! I just bought a BX25D and have had it for about a week. Really enjoying it. Really... Just wanted to say that the boots on my new BX are made of a clear rubber and seem thicker the the black ones. You should check your dealer to see if they changed to a newer boot. Great videos, thanks.
Interesting. I doubt they'd make them last longer. It's been a cash cow for them. Congrats on the new tractor.
Just a tip on what I do to reinstall those lock rings. Slide them up a tapered shaft like a punch, reamer or whatever you have. Once you get them expanded, take a needle nose pair of vice-grips and squeeze the rings together. Take off the shaft, slip on whatever you're working on and release the vice-grips. Took me years of fighting those (expletives deleted) before I figured out this solution.
9:25.. "Upper Management boots" gotta be clean ! LOL I love these vids :) How does the price compare with Kubota's boots?
Paul & Kathy another great video ! i hope they work out for you they look very nice and heavy made ! & yes I watched the whole video too ! LOL take care !! curt :-)
Well done Paul, just a gentle reminder there is a difference between what Italians call cold, and what Newfoundlanders call cold. Give them a lookee in the spring, after they have been sitting for winter.
Nice move with the yellow rag, it is very important those Italian boots went on with style !
Otherwise, they won't work properly. :-)
Great video. Sorry to read the boots are all gone. Do you plan on getting anymore ?
Looks like a nice easy fix/upgrade I'm sure they will hold up well look rugged take care Napa Mike
Great video, thanks for sharing.
That deadbolt tip is great, so is anti-seize, that stuff gets on everything so its guaranteed to transfer to the door case....and your hands...and your pants...and your tools....and the neighbors roof.
Morning you guys just got your video not to brag about my new holland but it's 9 years old never had to replace those lol hope you have a great day awesome video
Oh I don't take it as bragging my friend. No matter what color tractor we have they all have issues. It's time for Kubota to fix this issue. Thanks for watching.
Nice video thank for showing how to get the "boots" on and off.... you didn't show it the last time..!
The yellow "boots" fit with the yellow dipstick.!!
Man, you weren't kidding about those tie rod boot retainer rings, what a pain in the rear. But, took my time and one step at a time, got them on and ready roll. We'll see how they hold up in this desert heat and blowing dust come spring and summer.
Yes what a pain those clips are but after you do them a few times they get easier. Personally we haven’t had one customer say theirs broke so your test will really count. Urethane is supposed to fight off UV and prevent fading and rotting. It’s also supposed to remain flexible in extreme cold.
Hope they work out for you. Kubota sure made a blunder of the oem boots.
Very STYLISH video today👍🏻🤘🏻‼️
Great video, by the way your last video was a-door-able this video on boots had soul 😂😂
lol. Thanks for the chuckle :)
Howdy Paul, the set I bought from you came in the mail this morning. Had them on in 75 minutes for all four. No idea why but all the clips went on with no troubles. Great product and I’m sure they’ll be on a long while. Thanks!
Great. Thanks for your business.
@@7863348 Hi Paul and Kathy, the boots came in that I ordered from you. The package did not come with snap rings. What size snap rings do I need? Thanks, from Steve Sands
hey Paul great video there my friend
Good looking boots there.
Hello good Sir. You were talking about the importance of proper alignment on a speed Maxine such as that. I will go into greater detail. If it's not right you end up with what we in the souther United States call the "Death Wobble" and very few have lived to tell the tale. Great videos, I got a similar pair that I think you showed in another video. I haven't got them on yet, but I will be soon.
Just ordered a BX23S. I'll keep a close eye on the boots
Jeff Reid I just bought a BX23s from Messicks It comes with new clear boots on it. Was told they will last. Only time will tell.
jj1479 awesome, i hope that will fix the problem
Timing is everything, I am if it stops raining doing my 400 hour service on my L4760 and both sides the boots are coming off. I have put them back on but they keep coming off so this may be my answer but do they come in Kubota Orange instead of John Deer Yellow ? my buddy is going to give me such a bad time. On that Torque we always used the click click setting and yes after 1000 times you can tell the feel of it. My dad when I was a kid could set the gap on the points with a matchbook cover and tune it by the sound and I tested him and he was right on the money. Thanks again Paul and Kathy for a fine video !
I was afraid you were selling Lil' Killer!
Kubota needs to up their game on those boots.
Hello again
Always a pleasure to watch you two
Good job again , i like your professionalism of doing things
n.b = i see that you are using now a little brush for your anti-sease grey stuff
i remember that you not to happy about the fact that this cie were providing a toy toy brush not long enough to get the stuff out
Lol !!!!
You are correct. Bought long ones here lol www.princessauto.com/en/detail/25-pc-multipurpose-applicator-brush/A-p8613630e
great video as always Paul, keep us posted on the longevity of them....... what is the filter on the left side of the tractor near the loader bracket?
Hello Paul; Another problem with the B3200. the factory thermostat is (82c/ 176f) too cold. The temp gauge would barely get above the peg in the winter. Because the tractor sleeps outside, the hydraulic fluid would clog up on the Front End Loader. Kobota no longer supplies a warmer thermostat. I used a generic (88c/192f) thermostat courtesy
of Canadian Tire. The temp gauge now rises nicely 30 to 40 percent and hydraulic thaws out.
Gee. I never heard of it. Not good 😳
Question...could some type of ball joint guard be fabricated? Would be especially reassuring when brush mowing,
Great detailed information, thank you Paul & Kathy. Hope the best recovery for you Paul.
Oh yah, you betcha, yah. You darn tootin'!
Hello Paul; Had a problem with the B3200. The fan belt was cutting into the sheath of the tachometer flexible cable. I used two cable ties to hold the tachometer cable closer to the engine block. Then I changed the fan belt. (9.5 mm. x 940 mm.) instead of (9.5mm x 950mm.). The NAPA equivalent (10mm. x 967mm.) is too long.
Gee that was terrible. What happened to quality control?
Good video!
Thanks!
Another great video Paul & Cathy!! Glad to see you're feeling better Paul. I would like to order a set for my 2008 BX2350 ! How do I order them??
Thanks
Good Video! Paul you did a lot of work without your Smurfy gloves. Make sure you protect your Sing'ger's. You would think, that with Upper Management standing there video taping, she would have reminded you. Lol. Take care you two. God Bless!
Lol. Thank you Nate.
Kathy, any update on Paul....? How are you holding up....? We all appreciate the work and hard effort you both have put in over the years. Your reasons for discontinuing you channel are very understandable. As a viewer of your channel, I didn't understand how the subscriber and the like buttons worked. After you explained how it mattered to you and what effect it had on your business, it made a difference. I started making a effort to like all of the video's I watched. I needed it to be explained, I don't want to lose your channel and I'm sure there is lots of people who feel the same. If you and Paul decide to stay, re-educate us every now and then, to help us help you. All of our thought and prayers are with you.
Paul & I always knew we were blessed with fablious viewers but didn't really know fully the impact we were making in each and everyone's lives. Words cannot express just how heart warming it is to read everyone's prayers for both of us, something the viewers learned early on is that Paul & I are a team. Everyone here has always been so nice, not only too Paul but me as well so you all noticed we were a team early on. We appreciate all the encouragement to keeping the channel going and have decided that's exactly what we"ll do but first and far most I need to get Paul well again, pray for a speedy recovery. He is having a difficult night tonight. I pray that his tests will be expedited tomorrow. I will update everyone in a day or two. God Bless. Kathy
Yes, when health issues arise we find out so quickly how minor everything else is. We hope for a quick recovery for Paul first and fore-most and then worry about the channel after.
I, as the fellow above am just a casual TH-camr and am not fully educated on how it all works. With with some awareness things could turn around just by some of the current viewers changing what they do. We need good people on TH-cam that show quality work and tell it like it is - never mind the entertainment value. There are far too many people making videos that are showing/endorsing shoddy work. As a licensed Mechanic here in Ontario it really bothers me seeing so much hack-type work. From what I see there are VERY few TH-cam channels that impress me and yours is one of them.
Hello Paul, Greatest respect your mechanical ability, but why do you not use the proper circular clip tool for removal and install ? cheers
Sometimes I even use a wrench as a hammer 😅😂
Good morning Paul and Kathy I hope you guys have a great Wednesday. 2nd lol back on it.
Your the Winner winner chicken dinner lol. Have a great day
thanks I will try
I like you boots 😂😂😂 there cute 😂😂😂
Thank you very much for the lesson. Where can I get these boots to replace on my BX? Thank you.
Hey Paul and Kathy. Hello from Florida. Hey I wanted to ask. Where did you get the mud shields for the bx. Really looks good and would like a pair for mine. Thanks you guy great stuff
Paul you need to fabricate a tool like the spring removal tool on the drum brakes that fits over the tiered and allows to run the spring around the boot to reseat it.
I'm pondering a design for it now ;)
Can you get these boots still? I have a BX25D and noticed the boots are cracked. I have some time now as coronavirus as put a stop on my work. Enjoy all of your videos!! have to replace the fan blades on the transmission also have purchased a skid plate that will protect the fan. A small branch did in the fan!!!!
Yes. They are on our web site under “BX”. Just email us then if you want them and Kathy will get it on the go for you. www.specialtyrepairscustommods.com/
Hi Paul, why did you discontinue the Poly Urethane Yellow Boots ? did you find something better ?
The manufacturer put the price up higher and the shipping cost was high so we dropped them.
Good video really interesting but be carefull kathy will get jealous you keep buying new boots for the Kubota you should take her out and buy a pair for Kathy now..God bless you both...PS I've got your back kathy lol........
Charlie Parker Kathy be sporting some yellow boots soon?
I gotta have some of those boots. Noticed mine were half gone at the 50 hour check. Did you say you were going to sell them? One good thing about the yellow is you'll see them and keep an eye on them. I never noticed mine were there (or not there, as it were) until 50 hours.
Very Purty boots there Paul :D
I watched the whole video. :-)
Hey Paul and Kathy. Yes sir I am watching and listening...LOL. Paul I think I am going to buy a John deer..LOL to many things to fix on the Kubota. LOL...Oh now I have to measure to man I don't know about this one. Paul if those replacements are from Italy, aren't they spensive..
Good video as always. What might the price be or will be for the new boots
Nice Boots, I'd have to paint those jack stands Kubota Orange. Great Video
Can you post the link to purchase these boots
I would also be interested in a link.
Great video Paul as they all are though. Are the yellow boots available to the general public yet and if so how do I order a set? Thanks!
Look like this a problem on cars also. Here in Norway we need to check cars every 2 year. but every time the ruber boot is cracked and I need to change them. they say it's to make car road safety. but is oem ruber (GM) so bad? so can I bye a set from you?
Hi I stumbled onto this video and realized my boots are ripped. Is it very important to be changed?i have no clue about mechanics
Boots with cracks in them is the same as boots on your feet that’s cracked. If cracked they let the dirt and water in which is not good. Causes wear on expensive components very fast. We don’t sell these anymore. They were a great product. People complained about the shipping costs which were out of our control so now instead of buying a complete set from us for $56. and have never had a set crack Shipping including. Now you’ll pay over $300. For OEM ones at the dealer and they won’t last. Funny how things work out sometimes.
Great video, thanks. Trying to source the exact BX ones on ebay.
if it's too hard. not a problem. No point getting the wrong part.
Where can I get some of those boots
Where's the specs? HAHA I don't need them (Deere 1025R) but you did say you would put in the description. Good job.
I've been trying to find the video of your front fenders can u pls send the link to me and if you bought them please tell me where thank you.
Won't the warranty cover that ? Mine had 2 year 3point to bucket warranty .
Not under warranty and I wouldn’t let them repair it under warranty. They’d only put back the same garbage part that’s always
failing.
I need new booties for my baby...I krazy-glued a tear on one on my Kioti CK2510...
Nice job .
Excellent video also where can I get the boots from italy?
Nice one guys , still got my religion. LOL
I don't lol.
So did Kubota replace those boots on the 2017 models or are they still the same?
Why dont you use snap ring pliers on those clips?
Hey Paul good vid Please get more of these and a web site address with a pay pal Thanks Paul
Sold out. Not getting any more of them. Sorry.
Great video. I see the boots are all gone. Will you be getting any more ?
Thank you. I doubt we’ll bring anymore in.
How about sending me your old ones,,they are a lot better shape than mine,,, ; )
Hi Paul and Kathy, I would like to purchase a couple of tube containers you have on the bucket of your BX. Where can I purchase them? Thank you, Wayne Steffen
There’s a couple of differant sizes so pick the size you need www.amazon.com/MOTO4U-Motorcycle-Universal-Waterproof-Canisters/dp/B07DVDHVHX/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=Plastic+equipment+tubes&qid=1558559910&s=gateway&sr=8-10
Paul ,looks like its time for Cathy to break out the Pressure washer ,
Looks like little Killer need a Bath, :-)
Can't yet. He got work to do. After that he gets a bath ;)
do they make them for Massey Ferguson GC1710
Where do you get those front fenders for your tractor
Thank you for taking the time to make this video so detailed and complete, it is something we BX owners are going to want to do ouselves now that we know how.
It has rained almost every day since I bought my BX, have you ever thought of designing a canopy ? I'm slapping together something but it will be nowhere near as nice as your standard of work. Thanks again.
Is that the same tractor that you replaced the boots on before?
If yes is that a new manufacture of the boot?
Does this happen to all Kubota tractors or just the BX models?
No. The ones I replaced the boots on before we're customers tractors. It eventually happens to everything including vehicles.
Do you have a link where to buy these from? Thanks.
Where did you purchase the yellow boots?
Have a look at when that video was made!
Thanks for the great tutorials. I realize there may not have been much of a trial on this product but if I am going to buy I may as well buy this product.
Link for purchase please?
Sorry I did not realize there are health issues in the family, please disregard.
No problem. I'm on the mend. These are far ahead than the Oem boots. Very durable.We sell the boots for $9.00 each USD plus $10. Shipping. If you want any just send payment to
specialty.repairs@nf.sympatico.ca
Via PayPay and we'll get them out right away.
Not a problem. Thankfully I'm on the mend and feeling very well at this point.
Does that include postage to Australia. hehe
Lol. Add an extra $5.for shipping that far. It's more we'll pay the difference.
Are you going to get more of the boots? I tried to get them from polyboots.com but they were not selling retail. I’m not a dealer or repair shop so I can’t order the boots. Thank you.
I highly doubt it. They were just a pain in the ass for us. People didn’t want to pay the shipping and then there were the ones who complained about the price of them. Not going back at that.
Yellow looks cool 😎
