    What is the best way to get starter out of BX1500?

    My starter is bad so I ordered a new on. Where it is located it looked, at least from the top, to be an easy fix. I took the front off and now it doesn't look quite as easy. Would I just take out the dynamo to make room? That piece blocking it is bolted on in 6 places, two of which are...

    Gear Kit for mower deck RCK48-15BX

    Are there any replacement gears for this mower deck that are a better deal than the $366 set on Messics? I haven't taken it all apart yet but I am going to assume the bearings will also need changed. This will bring it up to almost $500. The people that had this deck before us apparently didn't...

    Accidentally put 85w-140 in my rck48-15bx (48" Mower) gear case.

    Picked up the 80w-90 that it should take from the shelf but there was oil all over it so I put it back and grabbed the one behind it. Didn't even think to look. Got home put it in and then grabbed the bottle to put it up and saw that it was 85w-140 instead of the 80w-90 that I needed. Do I...

    Please please please help with bx1500! My grass is now 2 feet tall.

    I need to get the *#$!!@#$ Hydraulic Control Valve (CIRCLED) off to replace the o-rings. After having to remove roll bar, seat, fenders, on and on and on, I was able to remove the 2 Hydraulic fluid lines and could get to the only other thing that holds it in place besides the bolts. After many...

    BX1500 - how to replace O Rings behind Hydrolic Control Valve. Posted 5 months ago with no answer - need to get this fixed please help.

    I need to take off the Hydraulic Control Valve to replace the O Rings. From what I am seeing in the service manual about removal it looks like the pin that holds the PTO selector is under the seat. Is it under the fuel tank? How the heck do I get to it?

    Replaced PTO safety switch on BX1500 now I have a leak.

    I replaced the safety switch which involves removing the PTO Switch Stay. The same bolts that hold the stay on also hold what the manual calls the Control Valve. When you remove the bolts the Control Valve moves down just a tiny bit. So when you put the bolts back in you have to lift it a...

    Can't get BX1500 to start.

    Here is what happens. I turn the key and everything is normal up through glow plug heat. Then nothing. No clicking - nothing. This time it will not start at all and this is day 2. I have checked the safety switches under the seat, in front of seat, the PTO clutch Lever, the PTO select...

    Any reason someone would unhook the drive shaft to the front wheels of BX1500

    The drive shaft to the front tires of my BX1500 is unhooked where the coupling is under the tractor. Not the one up front by the tires. The drive shaft is just laying on the mower deck and since the front tires should always spin the driveshaft just spins around on top of the mower deck. For...

    BX1500 always has power to the fuel solenoid.

    My old solenoid was frozen solid in the out position so the tractor wouldn't turn off. I took it out and ordered a new one. I put it in today and once plugged in it will only stay in the closed position. It has power to it all the time. What might cause this? Woud you think a short or bad...
