    Air Pressure

    On my BX I remembered they had the tires off and laying flat when they filled them, so I bet that they were overfilled.

    Recovered B8200 - Found abandoned

    Reminds me of the old Harley-Davidson saying "If it ain't leaking oil, it must be out of oil" One of my old service managers determined if it was a warranty leak by 3 drops within a hour on the ground!!!!! She quickly pissed off a few customer's. I would get the tractor running and do a few...

    New purchase, concerns with dealers...

    I myself would skip the 4in1 and get a 54" SSQA as this is a LX size tractor and not a lifting king to begin with. If your good friend would let you borrow one, then I would use the savings on a pallet forks attachment. As for the service aspect I think any dealership would work on it(warranty...

    Air Pressure

    I use a fancy Snap On electronic air pressure gauges and I just made sure I am adding pressure when attaching the nozzle to blow out the valve stem(stem at noon position). When done blow about 20 seconds of air thru it and hang down to dry. Been doing this for a decade and no issues with the...

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    I also remember a study that GM was forced to do after a number of car fires from one dealership franchise and they found the parts dept. got some harbor freight(ish) type of fuses that the 15 amp fuse would not blow until 58 amps was applied. Tech would look at vehicle found blown fuse...

    BX1500 HST needed asap, need to put backhoe on L295DT

    I noticed on my backhoe on the LX2610 HSDC it has reinforcement brackets all over it, that i think are stronger than the frame in my opinion. If I remember right the reinforcement brackets pallet was like 500 pounds in itself. The main brackets goes from the back to the front loader attachment.

    BX1500 HST needed asap, need to put backhoe on L295DT

    The homemade section is blue is the first clue and the 4 mounting points in the middle are too close together to be effective. Almost looks like the blue frame is part of a railroad transport frame that has been repurposed. I am curious how is was mounted as it looks to be a pain it the rear...

    BX1500 HST needed asap, need to put backhoe on L295DT

    That's looks like trying to build a reliable Yugo. You can do it, looking for parts worldwide, and in the end worth scrap value.

    I should have bought a Tonka

    Had a 1999 Mercedes E320 4matic wagon(116k miles) that I bought in 2008 for $1600 that someone had the owner convinced that it had transmission/4wd issues and BIG money to fix. Found it had a wheel bearing that was so bad to the point the brake caliper was wearing on the brake rotor. I spent...

    MX4700 DT reddish fluid coming from bell housing??

    Really a post about a leak and the google ads are for stop leak. I am thinking it is some assembly lube that has finally gotten warm enough to leak down to the weep hole

    Help me decide

    Sounds like you have the same dilemma I had about 4 years ago. I like the JD(2032 and 3032 and the Kubota(BX2370 and BX2670). Have about 5 acre's that are actually taken care of(other 20ish woods on a hill). BX2370 is what I ended up buying and that had a loader, mid-mower deck, snow blower, and...

    L2650 Clutch Repair

    On the John Deere's I have done I looped a long chain around the front and rear axles on both sides and then jump up and down on chains at the same time(as in two people). No matter how tempting do not use bolts to draw it together. Also center the disc within the pressure plate with one spline...
