Please do yourself a favor and wait to buy a BX. I've seen the inside of too many GR transmissions for me to recommend one, let alone own one.

One word: balance. No way you're going to get that shaft balanced if you weld it, or put a universal in there. Instead of removing the trans, just take the motor free and get it off of it's mounts to remove the shaft.

I would bet your clutch is fine. If it's making noise, it probably took the splines off the coupler and the input shaft to the hydrostat. Have seen it before. Requires a split, then removal of the hydrostat

Top speed is typically 24mph on those RTV-X1100C's. If you're going down the road, and its flat, try kicking your A/C on. You'll actually lose a mph or so, lol.

Leave the key on for about 5 minutes, see if that code goes away and allows it to start. I would bet it's losing connection between the dash and the ECU. Have ran into this issue a couple times on L60 series.

I would bet your quick attach is twisted on the loader frame. I've seen if a few times. You would have to take off the quick attach, cut the tube in half, and "clock" the quick attach so that they are the same, and then reweld. I've done them by cutting them in the center of the tube, getting...

Re-use the old o ring, and I usually use a pair of needle nose pliers to take the old one out.

Roll pin, would bet on it. There's an update for that issue, dealer will have to drop the front axle and remove the driveshaft.

Your dealer should be able to warranty it for you. Not an uncommon issue.

I've turned up the idle a bit on some of the older BX's, even after the updated kit was installed

The M5's and M6's are using DEF also

Nope, big 4 cylinder. They're about at their limits with the 170hp tractor

There's an updated lever and linkage for that, as they had issues with it bending over center and then it would not allow it to move easily. Also have seen some instances where if the PTO is not used for a long time, the shaft will seize into the aluminum housing and have to be removed...

There should be another hole for that pin to slide into, just below the platform, probably a quarter turn down from where they are now.

Or the pinion bearings locked up. Have done a few that were this way...
