Has anyone installed zerk fittings in the tie rods ends on a BX tractor? My new BX has sealed tie rod ends. I'm thinking about drilling them and installing self tapping Zerk fittings. Drives me crazy I can't grease them and using a needle does not seam to be as good as a grease fitting. Has...

Thanks again guys..I never cut wet grass either. Even though the grass maybe slightly moist mildew from overnight being cool. I never thought to use a air hammer gun to clean the junk. I do have one in my tool box, next time I pull the deck off I will give it a try. At 64 pulling and flipping...

Thanks guys.. I scrape and clean the deck after every 10 hours of use. The service manual recommends grease at every 10 hours so when I pull the deck off to grease it, I clean it and sharpen the blades while I'm at it. The ramps would allow for some basic cleaning but to get at the zerk...

Thanks Will721.. In the 32 hours I have owned my BX since I bought it new , this is the third time I had the deck off the machine for cleaning and maintenance, grease, etc..I'm thinking of letting it soak with a degreaser to soften up the crud then scraping it and hosing it off. I'm also...

I pulled the deck off my BX this afternoon for some cleaning and grease.. I cleaned it with some simple green and rinsed it ,drying it off with a towel. The underside I scraped and sharpened the blades by hand with a sharping tool and file. Question= Is there any method you guys use to clean...

For what it worth. I have been using full synthetic oils since the 1970's..Spectro Platinum full synthetic in the Harleys over the years . Valvoline VR1 racing full synthetic in my Gravely or full synthetic Valvoline Harley 20w50 in the transmission and motor. Whichever the supplier has in...

Bota products makes a drop in screen for the fuel tank.. I also use a plastic funnel with a fine screen in its neck, when filling fuel into my tractor. https://bxtractorparts.com/shop/ols/all?sortOption=descend_by_created_at

LoL, that cartoon is funny. I really like Brant lake. It's a beautiful ride on our motorcycle In the Adirondacks. Do you remember the Wilderness Lodge ?

We live in upstate N.Y. we get them in our yard from time to time. Never really afraid, just leave them alone.. When I was a kid we knew a guy who had a camp in Newcomb..There was an old dump up there where people would go to watch the bears forage..Vern was part Blackfoot Indian..He gave me a...

Just a thought, get a good heavy duty contractor bag and line the weight box before adding any loose material into it . That and leave any sand, salt, pellets,etc, in the bags they come in from the manufacturer..

Ve89aa, said "The first time I tried to lift something really heavy at an odd angle with my forks, one rear tire came off the ground. Shorts turned brown. :poop: An hour later, (after change of shorts) I ordered a ballast box." Rest assured, you weren't alone in that situation. Same happened...

Thank you JimDel.. I know the box will hold 600 lbs but I really don't believe that's required. It manly spreading some top soil in the yard and mulch. I know the first load of soil was a learning experience without the extra weight. Slow,Low on the bucket height, back down the hills, took some...

VE9AA, I didn't. I laughed when I saw your picture of the payloader.

Thanks guys. I will use my pellet stove bag pellets on top of the iron weights in the bottom of the weight box..I plan on lining the box with a heavy duty bag before I put anything in it. Just in case of any spillage. I guess a payloader was the incorrect terminology. I'll use front end loader...

Need some advice..I recently purchased a new BX1880, with a payloader. Used it to spread 15 yards or so of topsoil. I decided after that, it required a ballist box which was delivered today..Land pride BX10 box to be exact .Question, how much weight to you folks use and what source of weight do...

If it were mine, I change all the fluids and filters including the air filter and grease the tractor. I'd remove the deck, clean it, sharpen or replace the blades and grease it too.. It's your machine do what you feel is right for you.

Congratulations. Beautiful machine. Now you can tell your wife " See what a great investment that new tractor was? "

Wow, that's an awesome picture. Scary, the power of nature.

Bike is long since out of warranty.. Dealership in our area stock Spectro and Red Line oils.. Customer base asks for them. Harley says you can run their Syn3 oils in the motor, tranny and primary. 20w50 in all three holes. Funny the Spectro and Red Line Transmission oils are 75w-140. One ride...

Yes ¢75 cents per hour. My bad. Still what's that in the grand scheme of things? We are using more than that in diesel fuel per hour. Years ago I sent for oil specs and test results on various oils from different manufacturers independent lab analysis. I spent time studying them. Spectro IMO and...
