    Plastic rivet pins for BX2380

    When I pulled mine out, they all survived. That sounded weird.:oops: I found that my floor had some corrosion. When I removed the floor mat, non of the plastic rivets broke. However the floor was really badly corroded since the paint was bubbling and peeling. Fortunately, the floor was replaced...

    New Phones with AI

    Well I got me a new cell phone, a Google Pixel 9A. I really didn't care for the AI features. My old phone have not had any security updates in years and I figure that I need a replacement before prices go up and I got a decent deal on this one. After a few days using and exploring the phone I...

    Mower maintenance

    I change mine every 50 hours. I have been using a syringe with an attached clear plastic tubing that I can snake through to the bottom seal with the deck horizontal. I was surprised the first time that what I sucked from the bottom around the seal was nasty black. In subsequent oil changes, all...

    When they went to the extent of using X rays, they had tried everything. A normal male's hand would not fit through the hole. Beside the edge of the hole had unprotected tiles and the door inside also had tiles that had to be protected too. The square black tiles around the holes are...

    At work, there were a pair of twin sisters. They were engineers and worked in different areas. I would see them once in a while. I could never tell them apart and jokingly, every time I would see one of them I would ask her: Are you, you or are you your sister? It was even funnier when they...

    Reloading the loader. Couplers won't connect.

    On my BX (much smaller of course) I can push the quick coupler lever for the loader while moving around the joystick and it all pops in place. On the other side, I push in the pioneer connectors in place (one at a time) while alternating pressing the third function switches and no problem...

    KCC insurance cover hand grenades?

    I never remove my mower except for service every 50 hrs. Any grapple, forks or loader work is with the mower on. It makes me feel safer since the extra low weight makes the tractor more stable.

    I never heard of any of them. I only listen to the music inside my head. In stereo.

    What's poking holes in my pines?

    Looks like a Woodpecker to me. All my trees are like that. And the racket they make when they try on the aluminum siding of the house or on a street light.

    Good price for new bx1880?

    That is what I paid for mine with the 48 in. deck in 2019! Mine included a third function kit. The grapple claw I paid for separately.

    Replacing mower blades - 1880

    I believe that they were thicker and heavier than the OEM blades and they installed with the standard hardware with no problems. I got them from yardparts.com but they don't seem to carry that model any longer.

    Replacing mower blades - 1880

    I bought these for my 48 inch MMM. They are very thick and heavy. Cheaper too. They seem to cut marginally better with less vibration and the edge seems to last longer.
