I have a BX2660 that when I put the parking brake on it wants to stick in the applied position and not completely release when it is released. I have to reach down and pull it up to the fully released position. If I don't, the brakes will stay applied. I have looked at the linkage and it...

I have a BX2660 that has the typical front spindles leaking. What I have a question about is how much up and down movement is allowed before the bearings need in the spindleto be replaced. The bearings that I am talking about are the ones on the vertical shaft that the spindle rotates on for...

Thanks everyone for you info and support. The new teflon seal for the piston was scarf cut like the old one so I think the oil was not changed at the 200hr service even though the paper work said it was. When I pulled the screen and changed the oil there was some metal in the screen and oil so...

Thanks for the info and how to install the new seal if solid. Thought it look factory made.

I do not believe anyone was in my tractor's trans before I got it since it only had just over 200hrs when I bought it and I know I didn't do it but anything is possible. I'll see when I get my seal kit next week what the seal looks like. If the teflon seal is solid then the guy I got my...

Thanks.

No it was not. Where is it located?

It had a angled factory cut in it just like some of the automobile transmission teflon oil seals have in them.

Yes I did but the dealer changed it after 200hr and the problem started after only 150hr from the previous oil change. But yes I was bad and went to long when I did the oil change.

Thanks for letting me know about the pictures. Sorry but with the way the housing is made I can not get a better picture of the scarring. From what I can see it is as bad as the piston just not as far around the bore as the piston is.

I did not measure the bore yet but there is definately scorring in the bore. I priced the housing that the bore is in and it is over a thousand dollars. Ouch

I don't know if the hole matters. But the picture of the piston was taken after I han moved the o-ring around. It's not in the picture but the O-ring had a visible worn flat area where the scarring on the piston was. I am sure that is where most of the leaking was from.

The tractor is a BX2660 and was bought new by the previous owner in 2010. I did post a picture of the piston and the cylinder, are you guys not able to see these? The tractor had the 200hr service done by a dealer by the previous owner and gave me the paper work to prove it. I would have...

Anyone seen this happen. I started having a problem with the mower deck dropping down with in 10-15 minutes so I pulled the lift piston and found a lot of scarring on the lower stide Anyone seen this and what might have caused it.

Thanks At least that will help isolate the problem.
