Part of the Kubota Repair Manuals.
This is the factory Kubota service manual for the BX24 compact tractor and its matched attachments, covering the BX24, the RCK54(P)-23BX and RCK60B-23BX mid mount mowers, the LA240 front loader, and the BT601 backhoe. It runs 437 pages and is built around the D902-E2-BX-2 diesel engine.The manual is organized into nine sections: general service data, engine, transaxle, front axle, steering, hydraulics, mower, loader, and backhoe. You get servicing specifications, tightening torques, troubleshooting tables, and detailed disassembly and assembly procedures, including mounting and dismounting the LA240 loader and BT601 backhoe. Whether you are diagnosing weak hydraulics, restoring HST performance, servicing the mower deck, or rebuilding safety switches and the charging system, this PDF gives you the factory level detail an operator manual leaves out.

Kubota BX24 Package Common Problems This Manual Covers
Loader or hydraulics lose lifting power
The front loader or three point functions feel weak or slow as fluid ages or the pump, control valve, or cylinders wear. The Hydraulic section carries the circuit, pump, control valve, and relief valve service to find the cause.
Manual Section: Sect 5 Hydraulic p. 237Cranks but will not start
A no-start on the BX24 often comes down to a safety interlock switch, wiring, or starting circuit fault rather than the engine. The Electrical section covers the starting system, safety switches, and wiring diagram.
Manual Section: Sect 6 Electrical p. 270Weak or inconsistent HST drive
Hydrostatic drive that feels soft or hesitant traces to fluid condition, filter, or wear in the transmission. The Transaxle section covers the HST, range shift, front wheel drive, and differential.
Manual Section: Sect 2 Transaxle p. 127Backhoe mounting and hydraulic trouble
Removing, refitting, or servicing the BT601 backhoe demands the correct sequence and hydraulic connections. The Backhoe section documents dismounting, mounting to the tractor, and disassembly.
Manual Section: Sect 9 Backhoe p. 388Uneven cut or mower deck faults
Streaking, scalping, or vibration from the RCK54(P) or RCK60B deck ties to blade wear, the self balancer, gear box, or lift mechanism. The Mower section covers power transmission, the lifting mechanism, and blade service.
Manual Section: Sect 7 Mower p. 316Engine hard starting or rough running
Difficult starts and poor running on the D902 diesel come from fuel delivery and engine condition. The Engine section provides checking, disassembly, and servicing for the cylinder head, valves, pistons, and crankshaft.
Manual Section: Sect 1 Engine p. 59Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the torque specifications?
The General section lists tightening torques for general use screws, bolts, and nuts, stud bolts, and plugs, and each repair section adds its own torque tables for that assembly. p. 11
Does it explain why the loader lifts weakly?
Yes. The Hydraulic section provides the circuit, pump, control valve, and relief valve procedures, and the manual includes loader troubleshooting for a boom that does not rise, with probable causes and fixes. p. 237
Can it help with safety switch and no-start problems?
Yes. The Electrical section covers the starting system, safety switch continuity values, and the wiring diagram so you can test the interlocks and starting circuit. p. 270
