I really appreciate all the replies, checked all the obvious no problems found, then it dawned on me, I use a factory ballast bucket with 300lbs of sand bags in it, used that setup with no problems using original turf tires. Recently I changed over to R14 tires, great traction....however, they...

Thanks for all the replies, I'll followup on the inputs. Hope it gets resolved. Thanks again, I'll let you know. I'm hoping it's just OHS....(operator headspace)

Seems this started recently. As I try to use the loader to lift anything, seems that the right rear wheel lifts, feels like it's going to roll over. Not matter if it's level ground or not. I do have ballast on the rear....what can cause this, very shaky situation.

I still use an old H&R .410 full choke bore....gets it done.

So I have this early Earth and Turf HD brush guard that I could not mount on my BX2200 because the steel flywheel shield and, MMM mount were in the way. I was ready to sell it but, I thought what the heck....let's make it fit. I have the tools. So I did, and it worked out great. At the same time...

Easy and cheap solution

Thanks for the pictures, I'll try to adjust that line away from the plug and filter.

So, an easy oil change turned out to be a 2.5 hour nightmare....This is my little BX 2200 w/FEL and 60" MMM. Now, I've changed fluids in many a tractor ,cars, trucks etc....but this was a nightmare. To start with, can't get to the oil filter surrounded by wire harness and such, steel hydraulic...

Very nice, looks like that will give great protection. Let me buy it.

Well, guess I'll just have to fabricate one, have materials and, a good welder. After all, what could go wrong ? Thanks for your replies.

Thank you for your thoughts, I also can get this one which looks a lot more robust. Reason I want to put one on is because I've been moving and, pushing a lot of limbs and such from these downed trees with my loader bucket and, had some come up like spears just missing the mark going through the...

Will this guard fit my 2200 ?

I agree, at least a oil bronze bushing won't grenade on you for many moons.

Absolutely nothing today....had it mow the field yesterday, gave it a bath. Today I let it rest as I enjoyed a nice Bourbon old fashioned with it. Life is good.

I suppose there are many ways to approach a problem, some less intense. I guess it depends on the item being welded and, the stress that item must endure. In my 45 years operating a automotive machine shop I've stepped in a lot of problems to solve....ahhh, think it out and, you will overcome.

Just a plain old dandelion that was looking for attention.

Welding cast iron is an art, experience is required. If I had to do it, I would select brazing if no load is on the piece. Just my thought. https://weldingpros.net/brazing-cast-iron/#:~:text=Types%20of%20Cast%20Iron%20%20%20%20Types,%20%200.02-0.2%25%20%201%20more%20rows%20

I like that idea to keep bugs at bay, I use a boonies hat with netting, GI issue. Keeps the biting flies and, such from getting a meal off my face and head.

I checked with a breaker bar and, a pipe for leverage.....it's well past 3 grunts. That noise has me worried, guess I'll just keep searching.
