    BX1860 will not start

    I discovered that the solenoid operation on my particular machine is opposite from yours. However I would have never known this without disconnecting the solenoid and propping the lever valve against its normal spring assist position. By doing this and cracking the injector nut I wasn’t getting...

    BX1860 will not start

    I’ve attempted every fix except letting the lift pump run for an extended period of time. I will try this and let everyone know the outcome. Everyone’s time and advice is appreciated.

    BX1860 will not start

    This is the correct operation of my machine. There must be opposite set ups out there. Thank you.

    BX1860 will not start

    Your explanation of solenoid operation tells me a great deal. Mine seems to be working opposite. Even activation of the PTO safety retracts the plunger. I’m going to remove solenoid and position valve to replicate “safe”. Thank you for explaining.

    BX1860 will not start

    Is it apparent to bleed at each injector inlet nut individually or can/should be performed on all 3 concurrently? I loosen the inlet flare nut enough to separate the pipe from the seat. I’m turning the engine over until I see fuel “dribbling “ out of the top of nut. I haven’t disconnected the...

    BX1860 will not start

    I bled it at the bleed nut with sufficient flow and each injector inlet nut individually. Nothing happened other than turning the key to off which is why I’m so perplexed. No air flow restrictions.

    BX1860 Cranks but will not start

    Anything is possible unfortunately there isn't a fuel shutoff and the fuel is gravity fed from tank bottom through filter 1, to the lift pump. You have to pinch the hose off with vise grips to change the first filter. Needless to say since there is garbage in the tank I find myself destructing...

    BX1860 Cranks but will not start

    Good morning, I've owned this bx1860 for about 8 years now. The machine never sits as I need it for my farm. One week ago I was clearing snow for about 3 hours. Unfortunately I got myself stuck where I needed to shovel myself out. I shut the machine down and went back with a shovel the following...

    BX Series Tractor Heat Question

    I have a question for any philosophers out there. On the BX series tractor the cooling system is reversed compared to what we usually see on a car. From rear to front starting with the steering wheel we have the radiator pre-screen, then the radiator, then fan/water pump/engine etc... Is it...

    BX1860 Low Pressure Fuel Pump

    The position the tractor sits now is a slight incline as I used the loader to lift the front up to slide the mid PTO shaft for my mower on. This is when I turned the engine off, connected the shaft, and attempted to restart. No luck so I dropped the front down as much as I could but my boom...

    BX1860 Low Pressure Fuel Pump

    Does anyone know if the low pressure fuel pump on a BX1860 tractor can fluctuate in operation or is it a device that either works or does not. I've owned this machine for 8 years now and never had any issue starting the engine unless outside factors were involved. I'm am unable to start this...
