Need the factory reference for your Kubota BX2680? This 436-page workshop manual PDF (OEM #9Y111-16342) spans the BX1880, BX2380, and BX2680 tractors along with the RCK60B-23BX, RCK54-23BX, and RCK48-18BX mower decks. Hydraulic schematics trace fluid routing through the HST transaxle, steering circuit, and front loader valve, while the wiring diagrams map the OPC safety system, charging circuit, and full connector layouts. Roughly 73 pages walk through disassembly and assembly, 10 pages of troubleshooting charts cover engine, transaxle, steering, and mower faults, and the maintenance schedule runs from the initial 50-hour check through 3,000-hour service. Front wheel bolts torque to 149.2 to 179.0 N·m (110 to 132 lbf·ft); mower blade screws on the RCK54-23BX and RCK60B-23BX decks land at 98.0 to 117.6 N·m. With your machine down, jump to any system by bookmark, search a spec by keyword, and confirm the number before you pick up the wrench.

Kubota BX1880 & variants Common Problems This Manual Covers
Kubota BX-series mower deck belt smokes, slips under load, or PTO won't engage p. 419
Inspect the belt for damage and replace it if surface splits show at more than 3 positions (page 419). Confirm the idler pulley spins freely and grease the belt tension pulley until grease overflows (page 53). Match the belt routing to the power transmission diagram in the Mower section (page 399). Torque the center pulley holder bolt to 78 to 90 N·m (page 406).
Manual Section: 9. MowerThree-point hitch raises slowly, won't respond to the control lever, or fails to lift p. 291
Check the transmission fluid level; total case capacity is 11.3 L. Swap the hydraulic filter every 200 Hr, tightening until it meets the mounting surface, then a 1/2 turn by hand (page 66). Inspect the suction screen for debris and bleed any air from the system. Trace flow from pump to control valve against the hydraulic circuit diagram.
Manual Section: 7. Hydraulic SystemEngine cranks slowly, won't start, or stalls immediately after firing in cold weather
Test battery voltage; factory spec is more than 12 V (page 373), and specific gravity should read 1.260 Sp. Gr. at full charge (page 374). If it reads below spec, slow charge at 6.5 amperes (page 70). Clean the air cleaner every 100 Hr with compressed air below 205 kPa (page 71). Then work through the no-start checklist.
Manual Section: 3. EngineMower cuts unevenly, scalps on one side, or deck vibrates heavily at full speed p. 405
Measure blade pitch: the front-to-rear tip difference must be 0.0 to 5.0 mm and the left-to-right difference under 3 mm (page 405). Once level, torque the blade screws to 103 to 117 N·m (page 420). Grease all three spindle shafts until grease overflows (page 53). Inspect each blade for bends or nicks and replace any damaged one before running.
Manual Section: 9. MowerHydrostatic transmission sluggish, tractor barely moves forward or reverse, response feels weak p. 190
Verify the transmission fluid sits at the full mark; total case capacity is 11.3 L. Replace the transmission oil filter every 200 Hr (page 57) and install it hand-tight plus 1/2 turn (page 66). Inspect the HST pedal linkage adjustment against the transaxle system overview. If the fluid is fresh and the linkage checks out, begin pump and relief valve diagnosis at page 190.
Manual Section: 4. TransaxlePTO stops unexpectedly mid-pass or shuts off without any operator input p. 344
Examine all OPC safety interlock switches: seat, PTO, and brake, per the wiring diagram. Check connectors for corrosion and confirm battery voltage holds above 12 V (page 373). Test the PTO switch for continuity and trace the circuit from the OPC timer through the relay. Clean every ground connection at the battery and chassis, using the electrical layout (page 344) as a reference.
Manual Section: 8. Electrical SystemFrequently Asked Questions
What is the torque spec for Kubota BX mower deck blades?
Blade torque depends on the deck. On the RCK60B-23BX, RCK54-23BX, and RCK48-18BX, the mower blade screw spec is 98.0 to 117.6 N·m (72.0 to 86.8 lbf·ft). On the RCK54D-26BX and RCK60D-26BX, it rises to 102.9 to 117.6 N·m (75.9 to 86.8 lbf·ft).
How do you remove and reinstall the RCK54/RCK60 mower deck?
To reinstall the deck, set it on blocks and fit the anti-scalp rollers and discharge deflector. Drive the tractor over the mower, connect the universal joint, and attach the front and rear links, checking that every pin and circlip seats securely. Removal is covered in section 7, 'Disassembling and assembling,' on pages 419-424. See pages 407-412 for mounting steps specific to your mower model.
