You have to put the cylinder on the other side of the pivot. Just flipping it end for end doesn't work

You need a third function valve. The curl valve is a regenerative circuit and it usually connects both ends of the curl cylinder together to help it dump faster. Some loader valves have a 4-way which means you could move the stick further to the right and it would work normal. If you don't...

I keep a dozen shear bolts, two wrenches, a drift punch and small hammer in the tractor tool box. Lots of trees and usually get a branch or two. Decided to plow mostly, saves time not having to change shear bolts.

I bought hose and screw on fittings. I think I got them from Discount Hydraulic Hose. They are great in an emergency. I've used them and they typically are the first failure point. But if you need a hose today, It can bail you out. I have some of those hoses that have lasted years and...

You would have to verify that your load valve curl function does not have a regenerative circuit which would make it dump faster. If it is just a 3-way valve and not a 4-way you can't use the curl function valve to angle your plow. You'll need a third function kit.

I don't think a BX is anywhere near 16GPM. I have a BX-2200 and I think it is more like 5GPM

At least i is orange or almost :)

I haven't had good luck with electric motors. When the ice builds up, the motors stall. Also if you don't get a fast enough motor it takes a long time to turn the chute ( and I am not a patient man). I am looking to convert to hydraulic. For those of you that think you can just use the curl...

I had the leaking tank issue and bought the kit to fix it. If I remember correctly you have to take the rops off and the left rear fender. Then you had to rotate the tank down to get to the sending unit. I had to take my cab off etc and when I got it all back together, the sending unit isn't...

Some days I only make one mistake, I get out of bed LOL

ccoon52: I don't know about you guys, but I live in Massachusetts with National Grid as my electric supplier. Cost of electricity delivered to my house is $0.104 for the generation of and $0.11 for delivery of each KWH. So that adds up to $0.214 per KWH. That changes the numbers just a bit...

My local dealer sells parts at roughly the same price as Messicks. I can usually get parts the same day and no shipping

I have a BX2200 and left the sub frame on one year. Mostly used the loader arms with a plow attached for snow. Well, got so deep I decided to put the snow blower on. The subframe was so caked with ice and it took me an hour to get it free so I could put the blower on. Never do that again :)

Taller front tires will mess up the gearing when you go into 4x4. The ratios must match the tire diameters

Nice camera - what is it?

Did you remove the front driveshaft? That would tell you if it was in the transaxle or in the front differential

There is no place for politics here. I'm sure that all the money you receive for moderation ( read zilch ) means you shouldn't put up with that shtuff. I appreciate what you do.

The bucket curl loader spool may be set up as a regenerative circuit ( At least that's what I think they call it). And what it is, is they connect both ports of the cylinder together when dumping. This allows the weight of what is in the bucket to make it dump faster. I have this on my BX...

So what you really need is to have a bucket level indicator with a dial pointer and then behind it have a scale that auto levels itself. So no matter what height your bucket is at, you can see that it is level :) I once saw plans for something like this but have lost them. Maybe it will be...
