I have a BX23 and have put in in axle vent. Don't know if it has prevented seal leaks due to pressure, but when unscrewing the dipstick, there never seems to be a pressure differential, and this is with gear oil in the axle, never had SUDT in there. The access to the axle is in two places, one...

I have an inner filter on by BX23 and I believe it is a safety measure in the event of an outer filter failure due to perforation.

RAD used to be, and probably still is the manufacturer of snowblowers for Kubota.

If your snowblower has a set of speed reduction sprockets, check the chain. I went thru half a dozen shear bolts for no seemingly good reason, turns out the chain was worn, and stretched just enough to cause problems. New chain, problem fixed.

Check the drive chain on the speed reduction sprockets. If it is too worn you will be in a world of vibrations and maybe shear pin replacements.

A la Geohorn.

Any idea why these tanks are rusting? Could it be that there is moisture in the bottom of the tank due to condensation that rust the tank over the years or is it something else? I have a BX23 which is older but the same design, and it may well be on its last legs as well. Here's hoping.

Don't know what type of chain you have on your snowblower, but if its Oring, then lubing it won't materially affect its life. My solution is to just buy a roll of regular chain, and when the installed chain's length changes too much, just cut a length of new chain and install. Lubing those...

No, that blocker stays on thru all snow conditions. I normally don't blow at full throttle but in slushy stuff, its pedal to the metal.

Not your model but a 2750. Also removed that guard and replaced it with this, which is quickly removable in case of a plug up. I find it provides more blow to move the snow farther.

This is on a BX23 2007 vintage. When I fired it up a couple of days ago, the after market tachometer was not functioning, it showed 0 rpm, no matter the actual engine rpm. On further investigation, the sensor had come loose, and the magnet was nowhere to be found. While fixing this, I noticed...

On an 885 CIH tractor the lug that holds the 3pth arm restraining chains snapped. A local welder came and welded it, took about 2 hours, first to grind and then to heat the whole area, then welding, bit by bit, with cooling in between. After that, he welded a steel bar around the assembly. It...

Chevy block orange is a close match.

I imagine the dual filter assembly was designed with the first filter capturing large debris before it gets to the fuel pump. Filters are cheaper than fuel pumps.

Easiest thing to try first when it does it again is to loosen the fuel tank cap. Sometimes a bit a of a vacuum develops in the tank when some fuel has been withdrawn from running and the cap vent isn't working as it should. See post #4
