Thought I would post since I finally got my setup completed. I recently bought a used 2011 BX25 and sold my BX1800 but kept the rear bagger. I conversed with Doug several times during his manufacturing and took measurements of my old BX 1800 to compare to the BX25 along the way. When he...

I know this is a stupid question, but I need to remove the mower pulley but cannot see any way to hold the pulley while untightening the nut. When I held with the blade below the blade nut just loosened up. I even tried to hold the belt tight but it just slipped as well. What are the tricks...

If your looking for one, you may want to check out this Ebay listing. I was thinking about bidding then realized I really don't need it. But I'm sure someone here does so here's a heads up. Sims Cab on Ebay ends 2/2/06

The neighbors probably think I'm crazy, and the wife definately does. I spent a couple hours today "plowing" my yard. Well actually I was skimming the snow off it to put on another area that I am trying to create a ice rink for my boys. I have practically moved all the snow from my back yard...

My Early Father\'s Day KK 48\" Tiller Tail On Saturday I went to the TSC that is near my lake property with the wife and youngest son to pick up a couple bucks of bolts and some new rubber boots for the boy. Upon arrival I noticed a pen in the parking lot with Clearance banner on it. I...

HELP! Anybody using KK 48\" Tiller on a BX? Is anyone using a KK 48" Tiller on a BX? I just purchased one and am wondering if it can be used on the BX now that I have it. I am trying to follow the directions for cutting the PTO shaft. The book says position the tiller to the position with...

Well I picked up my new trailer last weekend and am in the process of getting it setup for towing my BX. It is an aluminum trailer and I decided the gate would need some reinforcement to handle the BX as the supports were not on line with the tires. SO I went to my local Fab shop and had them...

OK since Dargo had his wild ride and Spring if finally starting to hit NY I have finally (after 2 years) decided to go out and buy a new trailer that is sized to better trailer by BX1800. I am picking up a 14' Tandem Axle 7000lb rated trailer this weekend so I was at TSC last night looking at...

Well many times people ask about the BX grass catcher, so this year I thought I would snap a few photos to give an idea of what can be done. This is when I love the thing!! You will notice in the first pick I put my sons Soccer ball next to the leaves to try and give a depth perspective, it...

Last year I blew the engine in my Cub 1811 hence my Kubota BX replacement. Well I himed and hawed about what to do with the Cub when I found a used Kohler Magnum M18 on ebay so I bought it (this was last fall). Anyhow, I got the engine in and running, but it was running rough. I tinkered off...

I am having troube lately and cannot use the faces or markups. Everytime I do it kicks me back like I hit the back button on Explorer. I suspect it is from the Explorer update I recently did (from 5.5 to 6.0) but don't know for sure as I also had to re-install my Norton Internet security and...

I was thinking........is bigger really better? (maybe Henro's spring fever is spreading) I've had a BX1800 for almost a year now and I keep reading posts from new perspective owners who are looking to purchase a machine and most everyone always says get bigger you'll need it down the road...

I have pulled the strainer and the manual says to clean in a non-flammable solvent. What are non-flammable solvents? All the solvents that I know I have are flammable. Any ideas or suggestions would be highly appreciated especially since I do have a few filings I need to get off. Of course...

Any idea what a fair price would be for a Cub 1811 with a thrown connecting rod? I have a 50" deck and a 42"(I think) front blade. I also added a sleeve hitch so the hydraulic lift could be used for a 1 bottom plow for my garden (not including the plow when I sell). Both the tractor and...
