It’s almost as if they didn’t care when assembling. Random assortment of holes taped over and painted. Some missing from assembly and now corroded. (Bottom left/top right) I assume to keep paint out of the hole- instead there’s now bare steel, and the holes are as well- which means water +...

Starting to tear it down, ROPs, Seat,Deck, Fuel tank and seat mount/ ROPS mounts removed. not going to lie- removing this is not a small job. While I’m in going to remove/replace the fuel filters, front drive u joints and a lot of other stuff that’s a mess.

That’s exactly what I am expecting to find.

Yeah I can see that. While probably not a huge issue most of the time, that seems like a significant engineering oversight. The brakes on these tractors are for the most part redundant or for parking when the units off. You shouldn’t lose all braking ability simply because of trans gearing...

The pump/transmission has never been apart, I bought the machine new and it’s got 400 hours on it now. I’ve done the oil and filter servicing on it myself… but that’s not a hard job.

To be honest, there were no abnormal noises or symptoms until I was rapidly rolling down hill with no ability to stop the tractor. I kind of think if I had dropped a gear or broke something large - that things would have locked up or damaged the case. I’m betting it’s either 80 or the “A”...

Unfortunately expired- 2017 purchase.

Yeah it’s either 80, 180 or “A”. The brakes also function through the transmission. No- it doesn’t spin the other wheel backwards, both wheels are freewheel at this point. While jacked up if I press forward or reverse the wheels will start to spin slowly with no force, which for me points to...

Continuing my absolutely horrible experience with my BX23s - at 400 hours, my differential failed. I was in a 4x4, moving a bucket of dry dirt. Dumped the dirt and shifted to two-wheel drive to go down my driveway to get more dirt from the pile. As soon as I pulled the lever out of 4WD, I...

I’ve put a rubber pad on the bottom of the fuel tank, and on the clamps to hold them rather than on the pipe. A rusted clamp is about a 5minute fix vs taking half the tractor apart. Additionally degreased the lines and then painted with air dry cerakote - so they shouldn’t be exposed to the...

Mine has never touched salt, a salted road or otherwise, we don’t salt dirt roads up here just sand when appropriate - so it’s likely just moisture trapped against the line, and condensation cooling after running. the lower part of the ROPS mounts - which are bolted to the sub frame /frame and...

Ok, doesn’t really matter what they’re made of- the issue being that there’s prob a good number of people about to have this same issue… stuck wondering why they put the bolt under the ROPs on the left side so you can’t take the deck off the back without taking the ROPS off. (Safety triangle...

It certainly is it’s been back to the dealer for warranty work probably six times at $400 per transport. It’s been nothing but problems with this stupid tractor.

This is what you’re likely to find under the rubber pads.

I see, when ordered it said stainless in the description so I assumed. Stainless steel does still rust however. It’s just more resistant to corrosion. that being said- in This project I’ve discovered that the BX23 is is a giant lesson in how not to build something. can’t take the rear deck...
