    battery service

    Thanks everyone. The operators manual had me confused, it was written for both this maintenance free battery and batteries with removable caps. I will be picking up a replacement battery this AM, hopefully it will last 12 years like the OEM.

    battery service

    The battery in my BX2360 is dead. I would like to check the electrolyte level and recharge it before buying a new battery. My operators manual has a section on checking the level. However, the fill ports are flush with the top of the battery. Can flush top caps be removed, if so how?

    I believe there should be a block drain plug below the injection pump. There was a post with a photo, but it did not turn up in my search. Found this photo on another forum

    BX2360 Tractor and BX2751 Male Quick Hitch and Subframe Hydraulics Issue

    You are using the wrong outputs. The yellow and white ports control the lift cylinder, the red and blue ports are used for the hydraulic chute rotation option..

    BX 50 Inch Snow blower Hand Crank Bracket

    My pdf file for the BX2750D blower shows two brackets for the chute rotation handle. A shorter bracket, 70060 02684, for the BX tractors and a longer bracket for the B. Yes, the bracket mouted to the FEL controls is a PITA. I converted to a hydraulic chute rotation and have never been happier.
