Thanks, Henro. I was thinking of trying the same thing. The only other question is then whether the BX compensates for the RPMs. I looked at the WSM and it says the following in relation to the dual function hour meter RPM gauge on the 1st gen BX25: The IC regulator sends a signal of the...

85Hokie, maybe they just wanted to let you know how many hours it's been since they installed the hour meter. :)

GreensvilleJay, interesting I didn't know that. I don't think that's how the B21 works only because I had to replace the cable and I was able to manually spin the odometer by hand and with a drill prior to doing that to confirm that the meter actually worked. I guess it's possible that there...

Hi folks, this is mostly idle curiousity but I thought I would ask anyway as I didn't see it discussed (sorry if I missed it). On my B21, the hour meter is mechanical, driven by a cable with a rotating core. I don't know for sure, but it seems that the core rotation frequency would be directly...

Hi folks, thanks again for all the tips. I had a look at it this weekend and it wasn't as bad as I thought. The blades were certainly dulled but I was able to hit them with an angle grinder to at least put an edge back on them. And more importantly, they weren't frozen as I had previously...

Hi whitetiger, the schematic was really helpful. I finally found out what was going on with the bizaare tractor wiring. The rear facing operator presence switch was entirely disconnected and two yellow wires were connected to each side of the front facing operator presence switch. So all...

Great advice. Ha ha, yea, I watched a video from a guy who had cracked the stump jumper and had a really tough time getting it off. He ended up using a torch, probably MAP gas I guess, to loosen it. I'm not looking forward to the challenge! But I think I need to do it because I'm pretty sure...

Thanks for your tips, Motion. It might be a good idea to take it apart anyway for the reasons you note. I was told that the stump jumper nut was actually spot welded on but I haven't flipped it over to have a look. I'm sure the weld was "aftermarket" to ensure that the nut wouldn't come off...

Thank you ken erickson! That manual was really helpful. I had gone to their website and seen the IPL but I didn't think the manual would be that helpful. And the left-hand thread note is huge. I would have probably destroyed the bolts trying to get them off had you not pointed that out...

Hi folks, I have a couple basic questions. I just bought a used King Kutter XB rotary 3pt. mower. I don't know anything about them really. The guy I bought it from noted that sometimes the mower becomes out of balance if the two blades are not directly in line with each other (such as after a...

Awesome, thanks for the schematic! I went ahead and bought the WSM but haven't received it yet.

Yea, that's a pretty good description. I have a B21 that turns off a with a little more finesse. The BX25 definitely shudders to a halt. No on the mid-mounted mower, but thanks for the tip in case I ever run across one. On the topic of stopping the tractor, I have another bizaare issue that...

Chocolate milk... delicious. Yea, I would say "rough". The engine is a little shaky on its rubber mounts and that rattles the hell out of the metal hood which makes all sorts of racket That said, I don't have the plastic wrap around side on or the vertical battery cover thing so maybe by...

Thank you, whitetiger, it sounds like a good idea. I haven't looked at how difficult it might be to get to the fuel tank but it seems like it might not be too bad. On a related topic, it seems that it idles a little rough below about 1600 RPMs. Is there anything that can be serviced or...

Hello again! Success, I think! First, let me again thank you, 85Hokie, for your quick response. This issue had me kind of worked up. The first thing I found was that the gas cap was not on tight so it couldn't have been that as the issue. It still might have a venting problem but that...

Hi 85Hokie, thanks for your response! Yes, I changed the air filter too. Good suggestions, I've thought about the fuel cap thing (I guess possibly a clogged vent creating a vacuum and restricting flow?) but I forgot to see if that makes a difference. I'll also check the fuel flow from the...

Hello folks, I'm really hoping someone can point me in the right direction as I'm pretty new to diesel engines. I bought a "fixer" BX25 thinking, "how bad could it be". Idiot me. It has several problems, but the biggest seems to be that at high RPMs the tractor seems to start missing, rapidly...

And it was! No one was in the store when I got there so Napa had me in and out with a new hose in 15 minutes. Sweet! A little pricey for a 36" hose & two ends at $54.17, but I assume online would have run me at least $35-$40. Worth it to get it done. Thanks again folks for the replies and help!

Gentlemen, thank you for your replies! Yea, sorry about the picture- it was completely dark last night when I took it so that was the best I could do. Good call on Napa. I didn't know they made hoses. I'll have to check that out. I had to replace four lines in the backhoe recently, and...

Hello. Sorry, this is pretty pathetic for a first post. I am looking for the correct part number for a hydraulic line on my B21. It's one of the two with a quick connect coupler on the 3-pt. hitch. When looking from the back of the tractor at the hitch, it's on the left. It's also got a...
