Yep. I once had a colleague give me a hard time about bringing a literal brown bag lunch to work every day. He ate out, like most of my colleagues. I asked him how much he spent on lunches. He said he didn't know. I challenged him to track it for one month and add it up, and told him he...

I have an unopened 5 gallon pail of Shell Rotella HD for some reason (lost in the mists of time), and I'm trying to figure out if I can used it in the transmission of my BX25. I have tried researching it online, and have come up blank. Does anyone know if this fluid is compatible? I figure...

Ouch. Messick's has a complete filter kit for my BX that's around 70 bucks.

That's because blue RTV is good, and if blue RTV is good, more blue RTV must be better, right? Right. Some folks don't understand the concept of a "thin film".

Another forum I am on (for another vehicle) simply does not permit the use of the word, "Help" in the title unless the poster is literally broken down somewhere and needs help NOW. I think it's a good policy. The whole point of a forum like this is to get help, and offer help. There is...

Which one will get the job done properly, with the least damage to your wallet?

Kids who are sheltered from every possible danger get older and become useless "adults". Notice I did NOT say they grow up, because they never really do.

That's what I was thinking. I never noticed them on my BX. Now I have to go look for them. If htey are there, I'm sure they will be filled up by either mud daubers or mason bees. Aroound here, those critters plug every hole they can find.

Well, it's allll better! :) I got the pin yesterday, and popped it in place this morning. I had to start it up and move the bucket and curl it a bit, and it just fell into place. I inserted the pin, and did a few raises and lowering of the bucket all the way up and down, and everything looks...

Very nice project, but...... ??? What in the world is a "trailer wench"? I know what a "beer wench" is. I know what a "winch" is, and I have seen a winch on a trailer, but I can't figure out a "trailer wench". :D

Maybe not mounted to the bucket, but instead of the bucket, like this: https://www.bxpanded.com/BX-bh-ripper I have their Piranha tooth bar and it is excellent.

Well, I have the pin on order from Messick's. My local dealer didn't have on in stock and suggested Messick's could get me one faster than they could. That's a nice dealer! Thought I'd post a pic of the beast after we had picked it up. (Please excuse the green machine in the picture! :D )...

I don't know the correct size on your machine, Earl, but go the same size or one bigger. You can measure what you have there and compare it to this chart (scroll down a bit). Measure the copper only, not the jacket. Then just measure your length. Check the size of the grounding lug, and if...

I'm with Dave on this. I'm also an engineer, and bad grounds or connections can drive you batty. Start with the simple stuff. I've had quite a few cables made by BestBoatWire.com. Good quality marine grade cables, made to order. Not expensive, either, and the customer service is very good...

My rears are calcium filled, since I got it. Fronts are air only. They are the R4 tires. I would NOT like to use the FEL without the ballast. I think those who don't, and are happy with it, just don't really understand the difference. Well, I guess I don't, either, but I do know that the...

Yes, he was aiming for the top of the pile with a full bucket. Probably too high, as the pile was being built by a John Deere (can I say that name here?) 310 backhoe, and his big brother had just chewed him out for dumping too soon. We had a talk about that! Backhoe.

Yes, I did start the engine after letting it sit for a couple of hours. I had to wait for another son to run to Tractor Supply to get a pail of trans fluid. I didn't really want to use TSC fluid, but any port in a storm. I had to get it off the dirt pile. I have a rented backhoe this weekend...

Well, it finally happened. I'm a rural homeowner with a Bx25D which I bought from the original owner about 5 years ago. It's been a great little machine. Today my son (14) misjudged where he was climbing a dirt pile and rolled it. Thank the Lord for ROPS and seat belts! No injuries. :)...
