    HST filter removal problem

    I did find a cap type that fit the three filters. However, the factory paint made those caps unusable at removing the original filters. A strap was needed to remove the original filters. Future changes should be easier with the cap wrench.

    BX5455HD snowblower driveline protector.

    Good stuff there Russell thank you. Especially removing it to a bench. The blower is currently installed which has made getting to things a little harder. Not sure what you are referring to with the ramp, but I believe you are right about the reversed white ring. Also, I now believe the...

    BX5455HD snowblower driveline protector.

    On yours the tabs are black. you can see them peeking through the holes on the fat end of the protector. I thought that by depressing the tabs would release the protector. It released, but not smoothly, and I'm struggling with the reassembly!

    BX5455HD snowblower driveline protector.

    It should be under the flared end of the protector? The white tabs of the ring showed through corresponding notches on the flare. I pressed in on those tabs, and pulled the protector back. That is when the nylon ring and (spring clip?) came out, but with an unexpected pop.

    Manual for BX5455HD Snow Blower not found

    I ran another thread to keep the titles descriptive, but this is what I am looking at. Blower housing is to the right. The nylon and metal piece may be reversed as I had been messing with them.

    BX5455HD snowblower driveline protector.

    I am having difficulty determining how the flared male end of the driveline protector attaches to the rear of the blower. Without a manual I'm struggling. What I did: When attempting to access the zerk fitting in the ujoint immediately after the rear gearbox, I needed to move the end of the...

    Manual for BX5455HD Snow Blower not found

    Hello I have read the sticky and tried the suggestions and wore out google. I seem to be unable to locate a manual for the BX5455HD Snowblower or the B2714c quick hitch. I found a manual for the BX5450 blower, but its not the same. (the 55" is gear driven, hyd. chute etc). Anyone with a...

    Drain Fuel?

    As to whether it will sit or not... That's a good question, and I dont really 'have a good answer. The shortest answer I can give is the tractor will be used this winter season. Its future beyond that depends. The rest of the story is it belongs to a quite ill father in law who can no longer...

    Drain Fuel?

    Greetings. I have a 2018 b2601 that has sat for two years with a half-full fuel tank. Its at 58 hours with no 50 hour service done yet. I will be doing the service tomorrow, but was curious about the fuel. I have no idea if there was any stabilizer or biocide added at any point. It...

    anyone seeing Emerald Ash Borer in Western Nova Scotia?

    the intense itching is absolutely the worst. As caterpillars they have thousands of microscopic hairs any one of which can cause a nasty reaction. Of course they're everywhere all over everything which is nice. I hear the Cat ferry is back this year. I may have to make a run and stock up on...

    anyone seeing Emerald Ash Borer in Western Nova Scotia?

    To date none have been discovered in either Maine or New Hampshire. The fear is that the Worcester, MA colony was established for so long undetected that it was likely that something made its way up on somebody's firewood.

    Curtis Hard Cab in Summer

    It was a few degrees below 0F this morning with more snow tonight. I am getting kind of done with winter so I called the pool company and scheduled the pool opening. Maybe that will help. I felt better anyway. While still dreaming of summer, I was wondering if there was anyone who removed more...

    Hang on to your (hard) hats, next up is the Browntail Moth caterpillar. Currently munching their way through the oak trees and spreading cases of "wicked bad itchies" to humans in eastern Maine.

    B2601 and Uhaul Trailers

    Well the operation has concluded successfully. However, several lessons were learned. *A B2601 will fit a uhaul 6x12 (open) The smaller blower (BX5455HD) will fit through the gate when mounted. As pointed out previously by others... *the opening atop the ramp is restricted on either side...

    B2601 and Uhaul Trailers

    Thanks all. I think that open trailer has a gate opening of 57". Thats not going to work with the blower mounted. It will have to go in the pick up bed. Thats going to be a challenge at what 380lbs?

    B2601 and Uhaul Trailers

    Can anyone confirm that a B2601 with snowblower attached 'm could fit in the biggest uhaul 6x12 open trailer. Double axle. I'm guessing +/- 8 ft for the tractor and another 3 for the blower. Still within trailer load limits as far as i can see.
