Kubota BX How to change HST (transmission) oil, filter and clean strainer

Kubota BX How to change HST (transmission) oil, filter and clean strainer. Changing the HST oil and filter is a regular maintenance requirement on all tractors. This video show how to do it on the Kubota BX. The video also shows how to remove and clean the HST strainer.
The video also shows two simple homemade tools that help with this HST maintenance work:
The first is a magnetic drain plug keeper (prevents the plug from dropping in the oil collection pan
The second homemade tool is a simple hook and handle that makes removing the transmission dipstick easier.

wow Bob! Best service video i've ever seen, by far !!! Thank you so much. Lighting, planning, speaking, thought out steps (the hook, beautiful!) again, thanks 😊

I do a lot of DIY projects and check YouTube for tips. This video is one of the best I’ve seen. Well planned, step by step, and cool tips. All without any BS intro music etc. I wish they were all like this. Thank you!

Great video, no BS, too the point, no wasted time talking for 15min before you start work. Awesome video!!!!

Bob: You are a superb mechanic, and a man after my father’s and my own hearts. You’re very thorough in your preparation and layout for your tutorial as well. You’re an excellent teacher. Most ingenious the design of the special hook tool for pulling the oil filler plug. I would have mangled my hands and fingers trying to do that. Instead, I’m going out to my shop tight now and fabricate my own quick-pull hook. And the magnetic cable link for your drain plug. Brilliant! And simple. Thanks. Regard, David in Wasilla, Alaska

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING WHERE THE STRAINER PLUG AND OTHER THINGS ARE!!!! Excellent! Now, I may be able to bleed the air out of my system.

I can relate to your approaches to doing things. Thank You!

Thank you for this video. This was very helpful and a great supplement to the shop manual, especially the part on how to remove the strainer with channel locks.

Doing mine this week. Thanks for the video and tips.

Thanks for the video--very helpful. The video is helpful to visualize the volume of the transmission fluid without looking up the actual volume. I like that you fabricate cool tools to help get the job done. That plug puller is great so you don't rap your knuckles. Great job!

I use duct tape rolled around my fingers backwards ( sticky side out ) to clean strainers, like using a lint roller for clothes, takes everything off and no chance of forcing anything to the inside of strainer, its very soothing also lol

i AM WONDERING ABOUT THE FLUID IN THE LINES, CYLINDERS AND SUCH, HOW DOES IT AFFECT THE NEW FLUID?

[unclegeorge]

I was surprised you didn't prime the filter? The tractor reflects your excellent care.

Hello, I bought the filter change kit for the bx2380 in ibay, the diesel filters come in metal, can you explain to me if they replace the plastics, I just bought the tractor and I don't know many things. Thank you
