Weasel1 - What are the rear straps attached to on the tractor?

I'll add one more thought and hope you are not offended. I've done worse. My MMM has thick washers that go on the spindle above the blade. Is it possible one of these got left off allowing the spindle to travel up and down just a bit?

Great suggestions. I'll do that this weekend. Fairly new to these type machines. I know to take care of the simplest stuff first. Could this be an injector or air getting into the line? Fuel pump?

Tank appears to be clear and I have stopped three times to check the fuel flow. It seems to be good but there is still the possibility that when I cut the tractor off to check the blockage dislodges.

Need some help trouble shooting my BX. I treated the fuel a couple of months ago with an algaecide. A few weeks later it would have intermittent periods where it would lose power. I drained the tank and replaced both fuel filters. Still experiencing the problem. It will start to shake a bit...

Others on here much more knowledgeable than me. I have the same grapple, not sure on the valve, on my BX 2660. Are you sure that both the curl and open/close worked simultaneously? I ask because on mine the valve is really a diverter that diverts the pressure from the curl function to the...

This!! To me this is one of the risks that is greater on a zero turn. You have to keep both hands on the steering controls which severely limits your ability to pivot at the waist and look behind you. Couple that with how easy it is to go from forward to reverse and I think folks (including...

I moved a couple bigger than that with my BX when Hurricane Michael came through. Several excellent suggestions already regarding using the tow bar, and the sawzall. The dirt will ruin your chainsaw too quickly. It appears from the picture this is a large root ball from a tree that fell over...

My BX is pretty much the same. Per the gauge I get about double the run time from full to 1/2 tank vs 1/2 to near empty.

Had something very similar happen on my ZT. A half chewed up pine cone got wedged in the pulley. It was very hard to see. I could tell which pulley was making the racket but when I pulled the belt off it was solid and smooth as can be. I had the dang thing almost off the mower housing for...

Good ole red Ga clay. Stuff has probably elicited more cuss words from folks that have to farm/dig it than anything else. Very impressive the B did that.

Have needed a knee replacement for over 3 yrs now. They wouldn't do it until I got my BMI under 40. Starting in August I realized I couldn't keep going like this due to the constant pain and started serious weight loss. Lost 30 lbs and the Ortho Doc two weeks ago said let's go. Hallelujah...

Keep in mind the three point hitch doesn't have downward pressure. Lot's of folks use "limiter" chains to adjust how far the 3ph will drop in the down position. No reason you can't apply the same concept in the full up position.

I have the same problem with a farm pond I inherited from my dad. I tried lots of solutions but none seemed to give satisfactory results. Then I bought one of those pivoting head shrub trimmers that fits onto the end of a gas trimmer. It works great if as you said you're just trying to knock...

I was supportive of your inclination until your last post. I myself have a BX 2660 with FEL, no backhoe but generally have a bushog or small harrows on the rear. I have hauled it quite a bit on a 6x14 single axle trailer. However the single axle does leave less margin for safety. Since it is...
