Awesome, thank you!!

I was greasing my BX23S backhoe and noticed that one of the o-rings had split and worked its way down the cylinder. I'm assuming that it's important or it wouldn't be there, so my question is whether that is something that I can replace myself or if I need to take it in to a dealer.

Thanks!!

I just accidentally added somewhere between 4 and 8 oz of 15W40 instead of hydraulic fluid in my BX23S. Can I live with it or do I need to drain everything and start over from scratch?

Tom - that might have been why I didn't have trouble the first time I greased the tractor. My old grease gun had a "standard" fitting, the new one has a lock-n-lube fitting.

Update. I pulled the zerk and it looked fine to me (see picture). The hole in the pin also looked fine to me. I suspect that the previous owner somehow cross threaded the zerk. With a little bit of strong love I was able to screw the zerk back in centered :). All is good for now and I have...

I'm trying to find the part number for the pin (BT603 backhoe). Does anyone happen to know it?

I bought it used with about 45 hours on it. It has an extended warranty (through 7/2024), but i'd have to pay someone or rent a trailer to get it to the closest dealer about 30 miles from here.

Thanks - I'll try that. I had unscrewed it and pulled it out and it looked OK to me, but I'm still a novice.....

I have this one (https://www.harborfreight.com/450-peak-amp-portable-lithium-ion-jump-starter-and-power-pack-62749.html) I've used it with a 60" Bobcat ZTR, JD 214 and a motor home (Ford E-350). I'm surprised at how well it works and love that it's very small and holds a charge for months.

Hi, I was greasing my tractor (BX23S) and discovered that once of the zerks is "off-center" and I can't get the grease gun to connect to it. This is the 2nd time that I've greased the tractor and I'm pretty sure that I greased this one last time, but I have a new grease gun now. I have some...

Thank you everyone for the helpful, thoughtful replies. I think that for now, I'll pass on a trailer and pay someone to tow it if/when I need to. With luck (and help from OTT, I may not need to for a long time :). Thanks again!

Hi, I recently got a BX23S. I don't have a trailer for it yet, but I'm thinking I'll want a 16ft tandem axle trailer with brakes. If I do that, I'm really flirting with the 3,500-4,500lb towing capacity of the Honda Pilot (especially since there are some long steep hills between here and the...

My worst fears realized!!

It could have come from my car. I think I'll post to the Chevy Volt forum and see if anyone there recognizes it. To be honest, I didn't consider that but I should have 😰. In the end, it probably came off of the FedEx truck and will never be identified....
