I just did a real bad thing.
I parked the BX on a hill and didn't set the brake.. figured I was just going to be off of it for a moment. I then went around the house to get a rake and while I was there started to rake a little bit. Suddenly I heard a loud crash.. the BX had rolled back into my wife's SUV! I'm more concerned about the tractor than the car!
This is a one year old BX2350. The left rear tail light was just busted off along with a fairly large part of the plastic fender.
I've been checking it out and it appears that the body panel is a one piece rear section that bolts on.
Anyone ever replaced one of these? Is this something I can do myself or am I asking for trouble? It appears that I just need to take all the knobs off the controls and find all the bolts.. remove the seat.. and it should just lift off. The only bugaboos I see so far are getting the deck/height adjustment knob off.. (threaded?).. and disconnecting the 12v/power outlet.
also.. anyone know how much that body panel will cost? I'm sure it won't be cheap.
This is the biggest boner I've pulled in a while.
