BX24 - Won't Start

[RCW]

Sounds foolish but the BX’s use a plastic fan to cool the HST. It’s mounted on the propeller shaft between the engine and HST with the propeller shaft passing through its center.

Generally located right under the operator’s seat, above the hydraulic fluid filter.

While a cheap part can be a bear to replace in many BX models.

With engine out, now is a great time to make sure the fan is intact and replace if needed.

Dropped the engine off at a local diesel shop yesterday; they have an in-house machine shop that will measure all the bores for me and can hone/bore/sleeve as needed.

Since I pulled the engine and tore it all down, they offered to check it out for no cost and then give me a quote for any cylinder work needed as well as a warrantied rebuild. Should hear back from them early next week.

Until then, I'm just doing odds and ends like plugging some slow leaks in the tires and cleaning everything up.

Anything else I should turn my attention to in the down time?

Drain and replace the hydraulic fluid and filters.
If you don't have the WSM or the OPS manual get them to do all the service on it.
You could do fuel filters too.

Been working off this WSM which covers the D902-E4B. Not a perfect match, but pretty darn close.

Same goes for the OPS Manual, it's for a BX23S. Still a D902 but the loader and backhoe are newer.

Thanks!
