I had posted the message below yesterday- 2/13/01 in response to the thread TresCrows started. Seems it may be getting overlooked and thought others may benefit from a discussion about the upgrade. To me, knowing what the actual lengths of the new components are for the 3 Pt upgrade vs. the original hitch parts is necessary since (as it says below) two of the 3 "new" parts the dealer came with are the same as I already had...
Hi Guys
The dealer has a service tech here right now fixing my fuel gauge on my BX that always reads 3/4 full (even when it's empty) and was also to bring the recall parts to fix my 3 pt hitch. I had downloaded the images from a prev. poster of this forum and faxed them into the dealer. Strange thing is that if you read the details of the bulletin, the top link was to be shortened by 36mm and the LH lift link was lengthened, as was the RH turnbuckle- the parts he brought to upgrade mine are all the same as I already have with the exception that the turnbuckle is about 1.5" longer. Did they bring the wrong parts or did my BX already come with upgraded parts? Who would know? Seems like we get together on this forum and then go out to educate the dealers in some cases. Any thoughts? The bulletin states that machines that are out of warranty DO NOT QUALIFY so if anybody is concerned about getting the upgrade done before they have to pay for it, time is of the essence.
Cheers
