    BX-25D fuel return line

    Somehow, the fuel return line on my BX-25D got loose, and rested against the driveshaft, resulting in the line nearly wearing through. Seems like the factory wire tie was not snugged down enough. Anybody know the size/specs for this hose, can't seem to find the dimensions/specs for this hose...

    BX-25D hydro housing cracked

    my BX-25D has been in the shop nearly 3 weeks. Noticed a hydro leak, took it in for service under warranty. Dealer says hydro housing has a hairline crack,waiting on parts from kubota. Tractor has around 200 hours. Is this a common problem, or did I just get a bad one. As you can imagine, I...

    BX PTO engage lever

    Must be a SW PA thing Skeets, I've hit mine a "few" times. And one of these days I'll be done digging and the belly mower will be back on this machine. 130 hours and MAYBE 3 mowing - which is what I really bought it for!:D

    Driveway re-do, looking for advice..

    Thanks to all for the replies. The driveway is still a work in progress, it initially had a slight slope towards the hill (left side looking up the drive), but 3 winters pretty much wiped that out. When the work at the top is finished, the plan is to have a gravel-filled ditch/french drain...

    Driveway re-do, looking for advice..

    Winter has NOT been kind to our gravel driveway, leaving a high spot in the center with nice deep wheel trenches on the sides. Time to put the box blade on the BX 25D and get to work. Should I put the box blade rippers full down and tear up the ruts, or leave the rippers up and shave down the...

    First time out, already stuck in mud!

    Only way is to dry out the soil, and it seems like you have the right plan for that. I managed to get mine stuck and had to walk my way out putting rocks under the ourtriggers & bucket to lift up high enough to put more rocks under the tires for traction. Did you get your tractor from Parc's??

    extra lighting

    I put these on my BX-2D, mounted to the ROPS, 2 forward facing & 2 rear facing. I used a piece of flat stock and U-bolts to mount them. http://www.amazon.com/LED-LIGHTS-Square-27watt-Polaris/dp/B009ESAZHW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1380761046&sr=8-2&keywords=tuff+led+lights Don't know if they...

    Warranty FOREVER....

    The only LEGITIMATE lifetime warranty that I am aware of is the lifetime service contracts that are offered by Chrysler on their vehicles. These are NOT the standard warranty, that is 3/36 bumper to bumper, 5/100 powertrain. They are service contracts offered and backed by Chrysler on new and...

    BX25D work lights?

    Got the lights wired & mounted. As an FYI, the work light circuit on the BX is always hot, found that out when the LED on the switch came on as soon as I plugged the harness in. luckily the main disconnect in my harness is easy to get to! Wiring is just temporary for now, will do a neater...

    BX25D work lights?

    Is this circuit switched w/ the lights, or hot when the tractor is on? I have the relay & switch for the lights (55w). I will proble end up with LED's, but for right now, these will do. Have a bit of digging to do, and not enough hours of daylight - figure these would be better than nothing...

    BX25D work lights?

    I have a set of quartz driving lights taking up space in the garage, thinking they would make a decent set of work lights on the ROPS. Would these be too much for the elec. system, and where should I grab the power for them. Thanks in advance!

    Driveway - big mess!!!!

    Thanks everyone for all the sugestions! A couple of more questions before I get to this task. First, the drive is actually very well packed, and gravel wash is surprisingly minimal, other than this wicked rut. Should I use the scarifier teeth to break everything up, especially around the...

    Driveway - big mess!!!!

    A couple of hard rains caused a bit of a wash-out in our driveway, the rut is about 6 - 8" deep at the deepest spots. Have a box blade for the BX, looking for suggestions on the best way to tackle this and fix the issue, rahter than making it worse. The run-off issue has been dealt with, so...
