Overheating BX fixed

[cerlawson]

Hi guys:

Before I bought my BX 1860 I read in other forums about guys complaining abut over heating in summer. As soon as mine was delivered I opened the hood and installed a double thickness aluminum foil sheet between the muffler and the engine, at the engine heat sensor area.

I've had some 40 hours on this including hot weather and the temp gage has never gone above half way, even under heavy loads.

Good fix, easy and cheap.

Interesting, We sell 30 to 40 bx tractors per year and have recieved very few overheating complaints. those I have received were caused by debris on the radiator screen. I guess you could get heat transfer to the temp sensor alright.
