Is this an idea to fabricate or is this available for purchase somewhere? I could use that. Tractor Gal

Yes, mcmxi, that does help. Apparently I didn't see the "speed change" category...or maybe it didn't register at the time. Now it does. Thanks for the help. I'll give it a look. Next thing I'll be reporting is that I flew backwards into the creek because the tractor speed was working better...

I'd like to look at this on my BX23D. It has always been quite slow in reverse. I thought that this was "normal." And, maybe for this tractor, it is normal. I tried to go to messicks's to look for a diagram but wasn't able to find the correct diagram. Yes, I could look tomorrow...and will...

Old Hokie, I didn't want it to be so obvious. :)

This whole synopsis of which hydraulic oil works best has been queried over and over. It is interesting to read the differing opinions and experiences, and certainly thought provoking. The posts from ones "who are in the know" always cause me to ponder. Am I doing the right thing with my...

From my experience, when the mower doesn't lock in at the top to stay at the top, it affects the use 3-pt hitch implements. For example, if I want to use the rotary tiller, the mower can drag in the soil if it's not locked in at the top because when the tiller is lowered, the mower deck also...

Joe, I think you made a good choice with the BXpanded thumb. I purchased one for my BX23D and have really found it useful. I use it to pick up and carry logs and rocks, hold longer logs off the ground while using the chain saw, pull vines out of trees, et. While having an hydraulic one...

Good for you to keep at it at 92...no intention to rhyme there! For some, it would be too easy to slowly merge into the underbrush. You, however, can be proud to be in that rare breed of those who love to do things. Keep it up as long as you can. I did have to chuckle when you said how...

OK, good deal. It was worth a shot. When mine started so easily today, I thought of the problem you described. Hopefully, you'll find the issue and get it to start easily again . TG

I'm usually way off base on things but I'll throw this out there anyway. I, too, have a 2004 BX23D and have had starting problems from time to time. My neighbor helped me at one point when I couldn't get it started for many days...the starter cog wheel had not retracted. With a long-handled...

Good info, everyone. All I know at this point is to "follow the dipstick." :-) But, I am surprised that the manual would not be correct. What other discrepancies exist for things without a dipstick? TG

Picture from manual to valide NIW statement about manuals are often wrong and to show that I am able to read.

OK, gentlemen, I understand. The dipstick is the final say. In the video, the actual amount used to fill was never mentioned. I know I have put the 2.6 qts. I'll keep adding until the top hole in the dipstick is reached. Thanks for the advice. But now, I will continually question the...

Thanks, Runs. It is push and pull and it is firmly seated. Your thoughts are good and I thank you. By the way, this is a D905E engine, if that helps for a solution. TG

Totally puzzled on this...yes, I know it is basic but something is amiss...probably me. Anyway, I changed the oil and filter today in the BX23D. The manual calls for 2.6 qts to refill when the filter is changed with the oil. So, I put 2.6 qts of new synthetic oil into the machine, looked at...

Yes, Henro, I agree...the a/c clamp is a problem. I, too, purchased new but in just a few months, the problem returned. Your idea is worth trying, for sure. I wonder if there is a "worm clamp" that would be big enough? I don't know what those are called but it's a perforated metal ring with...

Possums around horses is a disaster. Their poop carries Equine Protozoan Myeloencephalitis. If the possum poop somehow gets into hay or pasture and the horses are grazing around that spot or ingest from the hay, there will be a sick horse. The medication to treat costs $340/week and it takes...

As a woman and no genetics from Amazon women, I've always had difficulty trying to adjust the top link after I got an implement attached. Box blade is the worst and tiller a close second, although the plow can give some "backtalk." So, I found this adjustment tool for sale on ebay by someone...

Kinda' like Haiku, minus 1. Good to know about too much grease. Seems to magnify the thought that we need moderation in everything! Thanks, GreensvilleJay. TG

Glad you found the picture of the pulley as that makes the alignment over the hole easy. Also, I'm glad to know that my spindle bearing seems to be OK for now! With all the rain lately, mowing is going to be a necessity. Now if I could only do something about that heat! It's August in the...
