Is there a SSQA option for the LA203 Loader? I am seeing more attachment options with SSQA, and wondering if it there is a SSQA plate that will fit the pin on LA203.

I have pallet forks for my BX1850, not for doing what a forklift can do, but for moving my mower deck, blower attachment , & a million other things around. Even picking up large piles of brush, I think they are a huge help.

I was worried that it might be underpowered, put I think I’m going to give it a shot.

I have some brush clearing to do, and was wondering if the BX1850 could handle a 4' brush hog?

There is someone selling a BX6315 from their 25d, and I was wondering if it would work on my BX1850 with the LA203 loader?

I could have sworn I had the WSM, will have to search all my computers. On another note, anyone have an idea what the dealer would charge to replace the rear piston seals?

Does the rear body panel have to come off, as well as the gas tank to gain access?

Has anyone here replaced the piston seals on their BX? I try to do all my own maintenance, and a walkthrough or YouTube video usually helps me know what I’m getting into before I start diving in. I will check Messicks to see if I can find the parts diagram.

I am having an issue with my 3 Point Hitch drifting down on my BX1850. I have messed with the speed control knob, and even when closed it still drifts down (without pressing the down lever of course). Was moving some trailers in the yard, and it drifts down pretty quickly. I fear that it might...

I am kind of embarrassed that I didn't change them immediately when I got it. Think I got so caught up in changing the hydraulic fluid, and engine oil that I completely neglected the fuel filters. Hopefully we will get one last snow storm here in NY so I can test it out.

I wasn’t able to get the OEM filters, but was able to find some similar ones for now to see if this was my issue. The filters were definitely dirty, I cut them open to have a look and I don’t know if they were ever replaced by the previous owner.

Thanks for all the replies! I didn't get a chance to get to the dealer today, but I did watch some youtube videos about relocating the filter, and using a different filter type, seems the way to go. I will post back once I get the filters changed.

I didn’t even think about the fuel filters…..🤦🏻‍♂️

Not sure how to explain this, but I am having an issue where I will be using my BX1850 at around 2500 RPM and it will start sputtering like its going to stall and idle down, it happens weather or not I am using the PTO. I had it happen one time before, but today it happened multiple times...

Thanks for all the info. I needed the shorter output shaft, and found it on eBay not far from me. It showed up today and I swapped it out. Everything fits perfectly now. Dealers wanted to sell me a whole driveline kit, $750 and the other guy $675, and all I needed was the one shaft.
