I remember years... and years ago... the urban myth was running the gas tank down to just about fumes and dumping in a few bottles of dry gas before you pull into the testing site. seemed to work.... That said, All my vehicles are now exempt from emissions testing. (over 25 years old)...

Using my BX to mow every week, I don't think I've ever used the brake.

Have to say, My BX is a 2017 model .... I never touched the coolant. It's still nice & green and tastes sweet.... I'd say I'm good. :ROFLMAO::LOL::LOL:

I agree. But instead of changing fluid due to OCD... You can always buy coolant test strips. also coolant additives if need be.

A stock jeep? No, I do not understand.

VERY good point.

I cap them all with plastic snap covers. Makes it easy to identify next time. keeps dirt out of them also. Surprisingly I haven't lost many... they seem to fit on pretty tight... even on the mower deck spindles.

Depends on the state. Some states only test emissions testing some states require a safety inspection. some have both. Some states only have safety inspections if you purchase the car from out of state or it's older than 30 years old. VIN check goes along with that.

The seat switch can do that but usually on a Downhill.... where your arse comes off the seat slightly... Might be worth checking anyway... maybe the switch is going bonkers. Assuming your machine has a seat switch. My BX was doing it.... until I disabled it.

You need to grease the right palms. Safety inspections are a scam. shop around... there are probably 100 places to go in your area. Worse case, You can do ball joints in an afternoon.... for the cost of a case of beer. Did you test the ball joints yourself?

Nobody is "belittling" you. All you need to "know" as far as general operation is in the owners manual. But if you need further help ... please keep asking questions. We are happy to help. Chip on your shoulder notwithstanding... :LOL::ROFLMAO: chill out Dude.

Read the operator manual carefully. Especially understand the differential lock if you have one. You can damage stuff in a hurry if you don't fully understand things. -just sayin...

That whole system is a poorly thought out / over engineered failure. Completely unnecessary in my opinion, I removed all that garbage and installed a simple hairpin to hold up the support stand. Same thing the older BX25 uses. pull the pin... It drops. EZ-PZ Very easy to use/less...

Beat me to it Jim... :giggle:

I would just buy an SSQA plate and weld it to the back of the pin-on bucket... Of course this would take a little fab work but nothing too fancy. (cutting off the pin mounts) I'm sure any welding shop can hook you up If it's something your not comfortable doing yourself.
