What do they call that rubber thingy on the bottom of the air filter housing? I've noticed mine has deteriorated and needs replacing. I can't find anything referring to it so far.

Hi Guys, I don't think this has been brought up before, if so, bear with me. My buddy has a Deer similar size to the BX models, and has told me that Deer offers a gear box kit to replace the chain drive on his blower. Deer and Kubota blowers look very similar to the point of maybe having the...

I've got a BX5450 that threw the chain this morning. I purchased it new in '14 and just never paid attention to the chain slack until today. It's a bugger to try and check the 1/16" slack that is called for so I just screwed up and never thought about it. I will now !! How do you guys with the...

I've been converting my home and garage to LED's for a couple of years now. I have a fairly sizable 2 level home that is 18yro and is just loaded with lighting. There is 41 65w ceiling spot lights alone between the 2 levels. I think with the the remaining lights there is over 100 in total. Well...

Gas in plastic bags .......

I Change/service my transmission about every 3-4 years, but I change filter every year when I switch from grass to snow. Do you guys have a schedule or just random?

Yesterday I got to thinking: when was the last time I changed the gear lube ?? Couple of years back I suppose. Well today's a good day to do it. I drain the oil and refill with full synthetic. Then I got to looking at the old oil and it's got something on it (lets call it like pond scum) that...

I had this replaced by a dealer 50mi away week ago.. Found it's leaking on right side connection...where??? can't tell for sure. Anyway, it's impossible for me to get a wrench on fitting to try and tighten more. Service guy @ dealer tells me he has nothing coming my way and has no idea when he...

I've had my BX2230 in to service the steering 3 times now and they cannot get it to be sloppy. When I'm using machine the steering tends to wander and last week just quit, no resistance at all for about ten minutes and then it came back. So I had them come and get it. Well, they can't get it to...

I did a dumb thing and left the alignment tab up when mating the blower to quick hitch. That in turn cut the plastic shaft guard in half on blower. Does anyone have the part # or correct name of the part.? It looks like it clips into the other half of guard.

Well it's finally happened to my 2230 with 621hr, steering going out. It was fine until I had the tranny serviced and since then it's a "wandering child". Apparently SUDT2 is a lot thinner then the SUDT that was changed out, and is leaking past the seals in the steering cyl. Dealer should be...

Is it possible or impossible, to access the sending unit on the BX2230 to replace the gasket by removing the plastic cover/cup holder on the left fender? I've always wondered if there would be an easier way to get at it other then removing the fender.

Well I went and picked up my new snow blower this morning and have it installed & ready to go. Other than the repositioning of the skid shoes and blunt scraper bar, there isn't a whole lot of major changes that I can see right now. My old unit is at the dealers to be sold. They didn't want to...

Out of the blue today I sheared 2 fan bolts, the ones that pin the fan to the shaft....why??? We had about 3" of wet heavy snow last night. The first one went when I was clearing what the plow piled up across the drive, had the rpm's up, so just take it slower, .. OK....my bad. I didn't have...

All of a sudden my glow plugs have seemed to quit working. Light on dash lights up, but it just cranks away until it starts. Prior to this, I'd warm the plugs for a 7 count and bang, it would start almost immediately. It lives in a heated garage so the cold is not an issue. I've not had time to...

My 2230 started acting up last winter (dieing like you turn the key off for a second or two and then recovering) when I was traveling to a snow removal job. When it first done this I thought it was a load of iffy fuel and just put some SeaFoam in the tank to rid it of moisture. Well it's summer...

Hi guys, got a curious problem. When finishing cutting the grass there was a couple times the engine seemed to momentarily stopped and picked up again... like a second or two. This happened 2 maybe 3 times when I was finishing up. Last fall I replaced all the fuel filters and oil & filter. I...

Can you tell me what the difference is between #1 and #2 low sulfur fuel off road or otherwise? Would it be compared to premium and regular in gasoline? The reason I ask is the #1 is considerably more expensive.

Hi guys, I was just wondering what you do/use on the small 4WD U joint on the shaft that drives the front wheels. Unlike the the drive shaft for the deck & snow blower, it's a non grease-able joint. That, I don't understand? All that aside, do you pay any special attention to that area or...
