    Is this dry rot?

    Well the dealer was just as bewildered. No wheel stops for this model.

    Is this dry rot?

    Ok thanks guys... the damage is found on both front tires inboard side. Starboard tire is much worse than portside. There is nothing for the tire to run into at the extreme ranges of turn.

    Is this dry rot?

    I noticed one front tire has chunks missing from the corners of nearly every lug. Outside storage, limited sun exposure, 4 maybe 5 years old. Tires not abused. Used for snow removal only. Any idea what's going on?

    PTO engagement levers and large butts.

    I really wish the PTO lever was not right against the seat, in some models. My large hips are constantly moving the lever toward engage!

    Wheel Spacers, Mid Mount Mowers, and a B2601

    Im looking at installing 2" wheel spacers on a B2601. I understand that wheel spacers wider than 1.5" may interfere with a mid mount mower. So here is my question. Is anybody running a B2601, R4s, 2" rear spacers and either spec'd deck? That would be either the RCK54-32 or the RCK60-32. I...

    Battery and freezing temps

    Is there a temperature at which one should consider removing the battery to protect it? My tractor is stored outside and we're expecting about -20°F in a few days.

    Gaining traction

    Well we finally got a plowable snow here in central Maine. My first foray with the B2601 and Bx5455hd snowblower combo struggled and slipped to get up some small inclines on the driveway. So between tire loading, a ballast box, or tire chains which would give me the best chance at gaining...

    SnowBlower Operation per Manual

    So I understand this correctly, there should be no load on the blower when raising or lowering OR in the fully raised position? So how would you attack a snowbank?

    Electric Chute Deflector

    My blower is a BX5455HD. Whoever wired the electric chute deflector did a questionable job IMHO. I am looking to see if there is a better way of routing the harness. The electrical leads are encased in a lightweight plastic sleeve. The wire harness stretches from the deflector motor to the...

    Need septic tank cleaning suggestions

    You are a nice home seller.... not everyone does a presale inspection as that is usually left for the buyer. A standard septic inspection won't care about some solids on the bottom. Its more about how deep is that layer and the scum layer and how much clear water in-between. Ii wouldn't...

    SnowBlower Operation per Manual

    So this note is found in the Operators and Parts Manual Male Quick Hitch and subframe BX2751. (Although my hitch is the B2714c). Does this note imply that I cannot (should not) lift the blower to lets say clear a curb as I'm blowing? . Or to take half a bite from a drift while moving...

    BX5455HD snowblower driveline protector.

    OK NoJacket, that was extremely helpful and you have given me renewed hope that this can be put back right. It is still messed up. To clarify a few things in your message... The order of assembly would therefore be as shown in my photograph above? Those items are in the correct order then...
