    How do I Replace a BT602 Backhoe Control Stick Dust Boot

    I have a BT602 backhoe on my tractor with a torn dust boot on one of the control sticks. I thought it would be a simple matter to unscrew the knob on the end so that I could remove the old one and slide on a new one. This does not seem to be the case as the knob won't budge. Does anyone know...

    B6100D, B670 Backhoe what speed to run PTO

    I'm new too, and have a BX25D,so it may be different, but the PTO isn't used when I'm using the backhoe, so it should be off.

    Fuel guage on new BX25d always shows full

    Lots of good ideas here. Think I'll start with the dealer, then maybe go looking for the sensor connection. I have a voltage meter. Are there any readings I should check? Thanks!

    Fuel guage on new BX25d always shows full

    I have a new Bx25D that always shows full on the fuel guage. The tractor blew the dashboard fuse the first time I asked it to do some serious work. Not sure if the two issues are related. Also, I never burn more than a couple of gallons before topping off. Would need to rent a trailer to...
