    Mower Deck - Won't Go To Top

    BX2360 with 60" deck. Won't go high enough to rotate height gauge to top, and past it. I can rotate through all the heights, but when I get to 4", it won't go into top so I can go to lower heights. It seems deck won't go high enough. I've taken deck off and put back on. There does not seem to...

    Mower Deck - Tightening Blade Issue

    BX2360. 60" deck. Took blades off to sharpen. Putting them back on, no issues with side ones. Middle one, when I block blade to tighten, the associated spindle shaft spins before proper torque. So, that spins and I can't tighten. This is with the wrench, not gun. Belt seems appropriate...

    Auger For BX?

    I have a BX2360. I'm entertaining getting an Auger. I'm in the very beginning stages and haven't found one, and am just assuming I could get one for a BX. However, before I get too far was hoping for some feedback. Basically, would an auger put too much stress on a BX? Maybe things have...

    Finally Did Bed Liner On Tractor

    Been thinking about doing this for a while. Spray can of Herculiner. I’ll post the before / after and then post my rationale I don’t have a garage or outbuilding so I park my tractor under a raised deck. That offers some protection but not much. I’m in the Midwest and we get very cold to...

    Paint and Rust

    I have some rust on the floor of my BX under the mat. Can someone offer suggestions on how to repair this, or point me to a resource? Everything I’m seeing is for cars / trucks. I’m not too concerned about how it looks, and more just want a practical repair. Not sure if I just sand down and...

    Height Anti Scalp Wheels - Irritated

    BX2360 60” MMM Trying to find best height for anti scalp wheels. For a couple years I’ve been running them pretty low because I think I misunderstood the manual. So I check out the manual, for 2”, which is where I do most my mowing, seems to want them at the bottom 2 or 3 hole. This is much...

    Leaking Hose - Front Loader

    Leaking hose on the middle arm of the front loader. It’s near the connector but seems to be coming from the longer metal tube near the connector, and not the connector itself. The elbow and nut area seem dry. It seems to be coming out of the opposite side (from the nut) of the tube. You can see...

    Changing R4 Tires

    A few years ago I changed to R4’s for my BX2360. When I did that I got them with rims from the dealer. The back ones have went bad and need to be replaced. 1) Can I replace just the back tires if I am going with the same size? 26x12-12. 2) if I get that same size, am I ok finding something...

    Deck Belt Tightening

    Could someone explain to me how to tighten the deck belt? Also, how to know when it’s ok to tighten vs change, in which case I would also ask how to change. I know this is basic, but I’m not sure. Numerous searches on here, and elsewhere, are not showing me what I’m looking for specific to a...

    Temperature Gauge Falsely Reading Hot

    BX2360 with 450 hours. Temperature gauge shoots up to red, or close to it. This happens sporadically when tractor is not working hard, in low temps. I’ll turn it off for a minute, turn back on and gauge goes back down and is fine. That and that this happening when engine does not feel hot leads...

    Mower Deck Damage. Input Please!

    The area of both front mower deck wheels is damaged. Looks cracked. I noticed it when I was taking it off, and not sure when it happened. 1) Can this be welded? 2) How unusual would it be that this happened to both sides? The only thing I can think of is some driveway leveling work I did...

    PTO Lever Sticky

    PTO lever has become increasingly tougher to move. Still engages it, but sticky. Worried it’s going to become a problem. It’s the entire range of motion. After tractor gets used for a while, it loosens up and isn’t an issue. I’ve looked for an obvious place to lubricate / grease and nothing...

    Gravel Pick Up

    Is there an attachment that would work well picking up gravel from grassy areas other than a landscape rake? FEL would not work either. We had 9” of rain in a few hours and it washed a lot of gravel into my yard. I have a huge gravel path probably 500’ or more. I did some the old fashion way...

    Wood Splitter Hydraulic Plug Question

    Brought a used wood splitter home. Noticed when I got it back some hydraulic oil had leaked from the plug. It was a long and bouncy ride, and won’t be normal. Should I be concerned about this? I thought this system should be pretty sealed for pressure? I would have thought that a metal bolt...

    Touch Up Sharpening MMM?

    At least once a year I take the blades off my 60" MMM for my 2360 and sharpen them. Never fails that after I do this I hit the random hidden boulder, winter raised stump or railroad spike (why are these even laying on my property?). Then I either take them off again or just worry that the...

    BX 2360 Overheating

    BX2360, five years old with 460 hours. I was doing an easy mow today, about 40 minutes in when I saw the needle on red. I'm normally a freak about watching gauges, but today didn't so don't know how long it took to get to red. It's about 85 degrees here. Fluids all good. Belt and fan look...

    2360 Front Axle Maintenance

    Just a question about maintenance regarding the front axle on my BX2360. More specifically, the metal bar running in front of the axle (I don't know what this is called). On each side there is a joint with a rubber boot over it. Both my rubber boots are pretty worn and on one side degraded to...

    2360 Not Running In Cold

    BX2360 stored outside in Wisconsin (under deck, tarped). It's been cold, around zero and negatives for days. Today it's around 14F. Did not have engine warmer plugged in. Started fine, then goes into convulsions. Shakes violently until it dies. Idles around 1000 and unresponsive to increase /...
