Great Job MOOTS! (y) I just mowed at my home and cabin this past weekend. Hopefully, no more mowing for 2026! The mower only BX that I bought in very early spring in 2025 now has more that 200 hours since the purchase. It has been a VERY solid machine.

The cabin is built by a local shed builder at their factory and brought to the final location on a trailer. The first story is completely built at the factory to the full seven feet ceiling height. The second story materials are all laid flat on top of the first story so they have a low...

@Tughill Tom, I don't remember the answer. I ran the piece of paper that had all the calculations on it through the shredder after deciding on the spray foam. The cabin has exactly 700 square feet of floor area with the second story being larger than the first floor due to the second story...

The first well was a developed natural spring. Surface runoff can cause water contamination issues. It was water for washing hands at the sink, watering flowers and gardens, and washing dishes after boiling. It would also be great for using a pressure washer. It was only a few thousand dollars...

A big step for getting the cabin ready for four seasons of full time living. $4500 in spray foam done earlier this week. The house sale fell apart several weeks before the planned closing. I will be staying for the winter at the house. If I stay at the cabin for the winter, the house will need...

Fairly decent explanation about the changes here: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/new-bx-changes-and-an-l-loader-change.80806/ I stopped at my local Kubota dealership several days ago. Me? I am interested in the changes to the L2502. My little dealership actually had several...

JB Weld epoxy. Quick setting type.

The OEM location for that brass insert is up into the plastic about 1/16" from flush. When I pushed the brass insert back into the handle and covered everything with epoxy, I left the bottom of the brass insert flush with the bottom of the plastic handle. Having the brass insert pushed up into...

A picture or two is worth a thousand words. IMG_20250323_150353080_HDR by cee_Kamp 32ACP, on Flickr IMG_20250323_150403481 by cee_Kamp 32ACP, on Flickr

I got together with my son and grandson last weekend and we got the food plot field bush hogged at the property. I did bury the BX 25 in the mud again. After the last misadventure getting the BX 25 stuck in the mud several years ago, we trimmed out & widened the main woods road going down into...

I epoxied the threaded brass inserts back into the grab handles on my BX2370. The inserts pulled out of the handles during disassembly while repairing a hydraulic leak. I wire brushed the exterior of the brass inserts and degreased them with Brake Cleaner. Then I roughed up the hole in the...

So with the lovely G/F passing away in August, I have spent some more time diagnosing the intermittent electrical short on the BX2370 timer/relay circuit. With the stop solenoid unplugged, it did pop the timer/relay fuse again. The wiring diagram shows that the stop solenoid isn't powered by...

I wish you were closer, I would come and give you a hand. I exploded the second BX machine I bought in Feb/March of 2025 into piles and pieces out in my shop. Simply because I still can, and I am cheap. I am also retired with available time. Why would I pay somebody else when I have the skills...

Line each one up with the FEL arms.

I have a pair on my BX 25, they are a remarkable invention! They keep the front loader bucket cutting edge from eating up my blacktop driveway removing snow. Same for the lawn surrounding the blacktop when pushing snowbanks back. If you are moving dirt or gravel/crushed stone off the lawn...
