I have the BX 2370-1 .The mower deck has nothing to do with what your describing . I'm not sure what you mean by hanging up ,I'am thinking hard to move. They do sometimes have the gear teeth not line up with each other. What you can do is with the tractor off not running . Try shifting the lever...

Take it out of 4 wheel drive and see if it does it. 4 wheel drive tractors have the front's turning a bit faster then the rears so there's always a spin /slipage happening when in 4x4 ..

Just curious does it have glow plugs . Not to sure how cold it's where you are .If its smoking as your turning it over I suspect it's to cold ?? activate the glow plugs first for 10 -15 seconds and see if it starts. Just asking about the fuel have you actually ran the tractor since refuelling ...

If your mechanically inclined you can remove the key switch and take it apart . It's plastic so it clips together. Just be aware that there are small springs inside so don't lose them . Once apart check to make sure that none of the copper contacts are broken and maybe shorting against each...

Thanks for the replies . Took it apart this morning and low and behold the discharge side is noisy only. Took it apart and the seal on the bottom is toast found wire wrapped up so I'm assuming dirt dust grass etc has gotten inside the lower bearing causing it to fail. Just one bearing sure makes...

Why I ask is because this is the second set this summer that are failing and getting noisy. I bought NTN from local parts supplier (of course removed the rubber seals before installing) the new ones I put in were quite for 20 hrs but now have become noisy. Yes I do grease them. I do believe the...

What bearings does everyone use when they put new bearings into the spindles.

Yes the clutch is separate place to test. Check pressure first before pulling things apart . What you need to do is order or download PDF WSM for your bx 2370. There are other hyd pressure test areas for different systems on your tractor. I'm going to be away for awhile Took on a job away from...

Its too bad that you don't know someone who can at least check the pressure to see what it is. It's way simpler to replace the pressure valve rather then have to split the case and do the clutches. Using the tractor this way is going to eventually wear them out plus put burnt clutches throughout...

I thought maybe belt slippage ,spring missing or belt possibly oriented wrong around the idler pulley. However reading further about the tiller in the spring when you said the drive shaft stops spinning . There's your answer . The clutch inside the trans has to be either failing or the hydralic...

Use proper size punch and good hammer Same as Hokie mentioned . I'am going to add that use some sort of backer like another hammer or pipe or something to take up the shock of you just hitting on the shaft . By using a backer on the oppsite side it makes more of a solid hit on the the pin that...

Yup I run tubes in mine . Only problem I've had is that I've had a stick rip the stem off once while doing some brushing. Ever since that I keep a spare tube on hand. BTW I buy my tubes from Speciality Tire.

In case your wondering why I'm asking North of the border prices are nuts. Priced out from 2 different Dealers $279. & $ 306. for OEM. Even tried after market and to get them to me still just around $250 with shipping and fees . So this is why I'am asking. Thanks for the replies . Of course...
