    BX 25 Hazard/turn signals not working.

    BX25 Manual shows it as 2 separate bulbs (Hazard and Turn), each single filament, but wired in parallel... From what I can find, they are the common 1156 type of automotive bulb

    According to manual, the flasher unit is under the front dash, on the left side. In the BX WSM page 6-S22.

    Smart puter guys !

    If changing things in the router like passwords, you can also hide/disable the SSID broadcast. That is, the wifi does not "advertise" that it exists. The only way you connect to it is you have to know the name of the wifi first, enter it into your laptop "connect to" wifi menu, and then use your...

    Whole house water filter recommendations

    One further word of advice. Should you get one of these air iron filter units, try to have the backwash discharge straight into a long pipe (2 to 3 feet at least). Never into a pipe with nearby elbow (like 90 degree). What happens during the backwash is that the air is released first, like...

    Whole house water filter recommendations

    Yes, that is similar to what I use. Regular "filters" do not get rid of dissolved iron in water, one has to inject air (oxygen) to have the iron react to form an oxide of iron which is then "solid" (your red staining), which can then be filtered by the bed in that filter. I had mine serviced...

    Turn off your wifi and re-check. It is probably just a nearby wifi signal that your system is seeing. Unless you connect to it, there is no harm that can be done.

    Whole house water filter recommendations

    I pre-treat my water with an air injection tank (before water softener). That oxidizes the iron portion of the incoming water. It purges every second night. Air injection has different designs, but they all have a vertical tank with a bed to filter the oxidized material. I originally had air...

    First Power Outage with new Generator Setup

    Congratulations on doing it "right". Just to clarify, your 50A outlet is indeed floating neutral, but the 30A outlet is not, it is bonded (based on schematic in manual). I suspect that 30A outlet is more for portable use with things like travel trailers or portable/remote workshop, not for house...

    Electrical question......

    Either way is dangerous. By putting in a ground rod, your neutral will be grounded at two places 600ft apart. That can create ground loops that actually conduct electricity, and it may be possible that one end of the "ground" will be hotter than the other. Earth ground is not a perfect ground...

    Electrical question......

    They probably use the 4 pin socket because the 240V outlet is a split phase, 120V on each side of neutral, neutral, and a ground. Things like a dryer 3 pin plug is 240V only, there is no neutral, just the 2 hot phases for 240V and a ground. I did a quick look around at that generator and a...

    Electrical question......

    I see something about GFCI breakers on that generator, that would need that 4th wire to work. True about 3 different opinions. But an electrician that installs home generators and transfer switches should know which is which. You could maybe ask the manufacturer if the neutral is floating or...

    Electrical question......

    Residential electrical must have one and only one "ground" in the entire system (in most jurisdictions). So the answer also depends if the generator has an isolated ground (and floating neutral), or if the ground/neutral are tied together in the generator. Most "portable" generators have the...

    BX2750D Snowblower Fan Shear Bolt

    Part 77700-04112 is NOT a shear bolt, but a regular Gr8 bolt to hold the shear plate item to the drive shaft. I would assume it could be a regular Gr8 bolt obtained locally. Item 7, the Gr5 shear bolt (1/4" x 1-1/4") is a standard bolt as well, obtained locally at local hardware stores. The one...

    BX2750D Snowblower Fan Shear Bolt

    As a note, on the Canadian Kubota Parts Finder site, it actually lists about 5 different manuals for the BX2750D model! (2 seem to be the same...). Only the serial 21219365 and up has the newer shear plate design.

    BX2750D Snowblower Fan Shear Bolt

    Ok, I scanned the manual, but the main pages are the expanded parts of the blower assembly, pages 22 and 23. Not sure if I can upload the manual here, but here are the images of pages 22 and 23. Note that part 31 is the newer shear plate, held in place on the shaft with a standard Gr8 bolt (not...

    BX2750D Snowblower Fan Shear Bolt

    I'll try to do a scan of the newer blower manual. It is specific for serial numbers "21219365 and up" (note it is 21 million+ serial, not the usual 2 million series of numbers) Manual part number is 77700-03986, which is different than the old manual 777600-00663. Fan on old bx2750D is part...

    BX2750D Snowblower Fan Shear Bolt

    There are 2 models of the BX2750D. Older ones have the grade 8 shear bolt for the fan through the shaft. Newer ones have a flange on the fan and a flange adapter on the shaft with a grade 5 shear bolt. I've had (have) both. The problem with the grade 8 bolt thru the shaft is that it (shaft)...

    Bx2750d snowblower drive chain problems

    You say "impeller". Do you mean the fan? The other shear bolts pictured above are for the augers, which I have blown several times with no damage. I use the proper Kubota shear bolts. Now if it is the "fan" part, there are 2 different designs of the BX2750D. Earlier models used a grade 8 bolt...

    LX2963 snowblower issues

    Your video shows typical wet snow on a smooth surface being "pushed" by the blower instead of building up enough to get sucked in by the augers and fan. I've had similar with my small 2750D blower. However, this only happens with an inch or two of wet snow. My solution was to go "fast", force...
