    Bought A New Weight Box

    That looks pretty decent for the price. A combo carry-all/ballast box. You could even fashion it to be dump box, with some fabbing and a hydro cylinder.

    What Size Bolt/Nut Is It? This Should Help.

    Good thing to mention. Added to my OP. Thanks for the mention. If you're rummaging your nuts and bolts, start the by hand to avoid thread damage. Trial and error.

    What Size Bolt/Nut Is It? This Should Help.

    *Corrected*? It's for reference is all. SAE is not Metric and vise/versa. I can't put a number to how many "what size" questions I've seen.

    Kubota BX 25 Bucket hooks, are these any good ? which style?

    I like my hooks welded on a 2"×3" - 3"×3" plate, then the plate welded inline with the loader arms. *The more surface contact the better.*

    Replacing hydraulic hoses on BT601 Backhoe

    Always get hoses made to fit the original length (if not buying factory hoses) and identical hose ends, as those two key elements have already been determined by design. Note - If you elect to use generic (readily made/cheaper) hoses, you could find yourself replacing them again, sooner, than...

    Replacing hydraulic hoses on BT601 Backhoe

    I've read, the only way to get the bad hoses off, is to remove the good hoses next to it/them. Start with the outside hose, remove, the next, and so-on until the bad can be removed and replaced. I'd take a photo before removal of any of them, just because. I would mark the hoses as you remove...

    Anyone try these (BX tractor upgrade)?

    Very true. In many ways. Now days even more so, everything is made to only last short term. The days of American Built/American Strong is long since in the past. I've always had the mentality, Buy Once-Cry Once. The convenience of having that, that's also become "less" as a whole. One of my...

    Anyone try these (BX tractor upgrade)?

    MORE POWAH I'm completely satisfied with my little tractor, it serves my needs very well. I spoil it, in a strong sense. I pet it and pat it and rub it's belly. In return, it's always there and ready in my time of need. A little Spinach will help it along the way. ;)

    BX23s specific significant design flaw/failure point

    The hydraulic lines, yes, thats definitely an issue for all. However, more than likely the situation applies to anything steel, driving the roads in your area. The salt eats everything, unfortunately. The ROP issue, I don't understand, I took the ROP Bar off mine without any problem when I...

    BX23s specific significant design flaw/failure point

    The lines are not stainless. Why, was my question? I've seen plenty of images where the lines are corroded.

    1" Coil Rod

    The bottom link is the same link I'd originally looked at, while seeing what the specs of the rods were. It's useful stuff, the rods. Nice to see other accessories, used with them.
