A fellow in the lodge picked up a used BX2360, he said he liked mine and said he would buy one if it every come to be. Well a friend of the family passed away and his family gave him first shot at the BX, and he bought for 2500 bucks,,, I hate people like him he is like a few in here that stuff falls in their laps,, lol but I digress. My Bud said he bought it and it was not running like he thought it should and would I mind looking at it. Now this thing looked like it just came off the showroom floor :eek: 130 some hours on it. MMM looked like it had been used a couple times all the stickers were still there, I dont think the push blade had ever been on the thing. SO he says it has no power,, OK lifted the hood and it is CLEAN, took the skirt of and pulled the air filer cover,, I dont think it had been changed since it was new. Hummm :confused:so I cleaned the canister and used his shop vac to suck out what I could from the filter. Looked at the deck again I doubt if the deck had ever been greased, since it was new. I pulled the radiator screen SHYT I dont know how air was even getting through. Took his leaf blower and blew down between the rad in the inside ,grass dirt and GKW blew out all over. And then I made him a list of things to buy,,, filters fuel and air, oil and hydraulic, and a 5 gallon can of SUDF 2 and call me when he had it. After I left he called and said it was running super and grass was looking good.

The old man had an Olds that looked the same, like off the showroom floor but never did anything to it till it broke.
The story really means nothing but for some strange reason I thought I would share

Hey Skeets I'm impressed! You directed him through the maintenance procedures like a pro. I thought you was the resident story teller and never paid much attention to much except gardening, bikes and guns, horses and ..... But you're well rounded in your knowledge.

You did good!:D
