This morning I noticed a strong diesel smell as I was operating the BX. I stopped and checked to see where this was coming from....
Underneath the tractor, forward of the fuel pump, one of the fuel lines (the smallest 3/16) was leaking. Turn out, after further investigation, that the rubber boot of the front axle had come loose and move forward about 6 inches, the boot was rubbing against the fuel line and eventually ruptured it.
It was an easy fix and I moved the fuel lines out of the way with quick ties.
Just wanted to pass this along. You might want to check and make sure the front axle boot is securely in place in order to avoid some down time.....
