It is the workshop manual I'm looking for. I have the owner's manual. I have a mechanic friend and I'm trying to avoid the annual service charge.
Thanks for your help.

My house is in the SW of France. In the Dordogne - or the Perigord as the French call it. I have tried to add a photo to this message: me on the BX24 in front of my converted farmhouse.

Very nice place.:thumbsup:

Ohhh the life, livin' in the South of France, Running a BX25 plantin' the roses... :thumbsup:

Great picture Jimm! and Yes, you will find the BX25 digs much better if
you firmly plant the FEL Bucket on the ground, w/ force, while digging. Additionally
I have found that 4- rubber wheel chocks do wonders for additional
stability when digging when you are on firm ground / asphalt / concrete.
Kubota makes "Soft Feet" as well if you do not want to mar the surface
your stabilizers touch down to.

Jimm check out the GrappleOmatic I made for my BX25 HERE when you have time.

On my list is to make are new feet, stay tuned...

I realise now that in order to help other tractors owners with the same non-starting problems I should have thanked publicly rather than privately the person who solved my problem.

regarding the occasional no-start...
have a look at the safety switch on the PTO engaging lever at your left thigh.
on my BX24 it was very touchy... if I brushed it getting off the tractor on the left side, it would not start (or turn over) next time.
I took off the left rear wheel for easy access to the switch bracket, and as there are elongated mounting holes, was able to move the switch so that it is no longer a problem.
enjoy your toy (er, machine)... I love mine.

I didn't even have to take off the rear wheel to shift mine.
Thanks again
Jim
