Well the dealer was just as bewildered. No wheel stops for this model.

Ok thanks guys... the damage is found on both front tires inboard side. Starboard tire is much worse than portside. There is nothing for the tire to run into at the extreme ranges of turn.

OEM's

I noticed one front tire has chunks missing from the corners of nearly every lug. Outside storage, limited sun exposure, 4 maybe 5 years old. Tires not abused. Used for snow removal only. Any idea what's going on?

I really wish the PTO lever was not right against the seat, in some models. My large hips are constantly moving the lever toward engage!

Im looking at installing 2" wheel spacers on a B2601. I understand that wheel spacers wider than 1.5" may interfere with a mid mount mower. So here is my question. Is anybody running a B2601, R4s, 2" rear spacers and either spec'd deck? That would be either the RCK54-32 or the RCK60-32. I...

So I understand this correctly, there should be no load on the blower when raising or lowering OR in the fully raised position? So how would you attack a snowbank?

I dont know for sure Dusty, the model number i have is bx2714c hitch set up. I dont have the operator&parts manual for it, nor can i seem to locate one.

Here are 2 pages from the manual. The note appears for figures 10 and 11

My blower is a BX5455HD. Whoever wired the electric chute deflector did a questionable job IMHO. I am looking to see if there is a better way of routing the harness. The electrical leads are encased in a lightweight plastic sleeve. The wire harness stretches from the deflector motor to the...

It also fits some B series. I have one on a B2601
