Had to take front support back off, try to install axle and bottom painted pieces
Mistake: I needed to put support onto axle first, then lift them together into the two studs on block
Setup of how I fix to put axle onto tractor
Zero chance I would gotten this far without 3 point lift on bx1500, the value it give is tremendous
Lift axle straight up, then push with body weight into the two studs, zero heavy lifting
Maybe I made mistake: put axle on, but it won't articulate, stuck in position
Forgot to put grease on where it swivel, maybe that small opening in picture is for putting grease on front axle swivel
Hit it with torch/diesel, try to open it and pump grease inside
If I can't get small bolt loosened, put blocks under axle, remove that whole square, put grease inside, then put back on
Could not open grease port, support axle, take out bolts, remove it with air chisel
Sand everything, grease everything, put back together
Hand sand clean everything, put grease, reinstall
Installed axle, lifted tractor, moved support structure underneath axle to clear the way for putting in propeller shaft
Put in shaft with cover, put locking rings on it, cant seem to see where covers bolts to chassis, maybe another bracket
I could work on exhaust and the attachment brackets and their big bolts, I'll look at diagram about the shaft cover bolt

Bx1500 problem: I went back and ran it to trace that rattle, I thought it was engine knock, it's the upper part of engine rattling, I do not think it is internal problem, I hope it is not a big problem but it is needed for the tasks I'm showing
If rpm is raised, rattle goes away, engine sound fine
I won't run it hard just use it to move the show forward temporarily
Figured out propeller bolt, it was on oil pan, put in one big bracket, went through the hardware looking for bolts
It is tight down there, one wrong move and you hit your head off very sharp bracket
Soon I keep putting it back together, I feel it is close to running and moving, there are not many parts left laying around, I plan to put on the rest of the parts, even with the seesaw governor, and move it around under its own power, only parts left to install: radiator, air filter, exhaust
I think I did put new transmission fluid in it, but I would like to check it, I know there is a side port, you take the bolt out, and fill it until it come out of that bolt, close to left shin if sitting on tractor
Plan: finish up putting on rest of painted parts, put the wheels on both axles, start it and move it around
Put on both brackets, took awhile to find the right bolts that fit those holes, connected steering linkage
I sit right there in the dirt, bucket of random hardware, bucket of diesel, going through each bolt that looks promising until everything was fastened
Now: install exhaust manifold, fetch the gaskets, install muffler
