    TG1860 - likely been sitting for years

    check engine oil, antifreeze level in the rad, belts/hoses and look in the fuel tank for anything obviously bad. If it's the TG1860 and not the TG1860G (g=gas) then it's a diesel. Put in a good battery, engage the glowplugs on the <spring loaded> ignition switch until the GP light goes out <on...

    Leftover lightbar...where to mount on front mounted blower?

    So, as I've mentioned a couple times on others' threads...I just ROP mounted a front facing lightbar, 2 rear facing spots and a top flashing unit. It's almost like daytime when it's dark out. I'll be doing most of my snowblowing in the dark. Front mounted on a BX2380 I have an extra lightbar...

    Solar Battery Maintainer Install

    How deep does your snow get there in MO Larry? (Around here they'd be under the snow by mid January for sure ;-) Not sure what time of day you snapped the pic, but the panels look to be in at least partial shade.

    Winter Lighting for Plowing

    I bought the Nilight lightbar and 2 spots, kit on Amazon for around $100. I had to buy 2 x 3" square ubolts and fashion up a couple simple brackets (easy peasy) similar to this one NILIGHT I also added a multicolour, multi LED, magentic mount top light which has 15 flash patterns. SIMIlar to...

    A morning muse

    I was almost ecstatic when I discovered my 2009 MINI did not honk the horn or beep when I <remote> locked it. I find that freegin horn honk/beep (or other beepers) when doors are locked extremely annoying. Unless you are very hearing impaired, you can clearly hear all the doors lock and watch...

    Alas, all BX's are not created equal in this regard. As usual, it's all in the details :-(

    Rear Blade

    I paid $ 826 + 15% tax for a total of $950 CDN (delivered!) recently for my RB1560, but I am in Eastern Canada. I think, being in the States, those prices sound pretty good to me.

    A morning muse

    I am glad my bike has normal pipes. I think it helps....same as lots of rear lighting helps.....although some folks that are texting, drunk or over medicated run into the back of schoolbusses, ambulances, etc. It still may help ! I don't see a need for "neighbor hater" type straight pipes on...

    Odd screwdriver query

    Back in a previous life when I was an apprentice electrician I had one. Worked very well. It grew legs at some jobsite as I recall. Nowadays I poke a hole in a 2" long pc of electrical tape and put the screw through it and then loosely tape the whole mess onto the screwdriver. Once I get the...

    A morning muse

    This week will probably be the last week to ride way up here. Once the temps dip below zero, snow, salt or not, I usually stop riding (to work anyways)...dues to hidden ice in corners. Love the sound of my Harley Road King....stock pipes. (I never go anything louder)

    Leaky tire on BX

    First thing I'd do is get a spare spray bottle and fill it with water and a few drops of dish soap, shake it up and spray it all over your tire and INTO your valve stem(take cap off obviously). You should know right away where the leak is once/if you see bubbles. Might just be a loose valve...

    3 point hitch won't lower

    I've always done some of my own car maintenance and minor repairs. I also own a LBCC (Little British Classic car--Austin Mini) The BX though is totally new territory for me. I'd listen to the experienced guys before me (just being honest) I know when to stop giving advice. (ie: I'd never tell...
