BX 200hr club?

[CHDinCT]

Probably going to jink myself, but mine is coming up on four years old and I have just under 440 hours. I did the 400 hour service this Spring. That was a big one with engine oil and filter, HST oil and filter, coolant change, fan belt adjustment, front axle pivot bolt torque check, greasing, and I can't recall what else - oh yeah, air filter and put in a racor fuel filter in place of the OEM under-floor-board el cheepo filter.

Anyway, other than I broke one of the rear "brake" light lenses, can't recall any repair items per se. That or I"m just getting too old to remember "stuff".

Last I looked at them they were fine. I see a lot of posts on them tearing, but so far so good for mine. I dont work in brush much, so that may help explain my luck.

Besides normal maintenance, put me down for a busted hydraulic line due to rubbing that I didn't detect.

Oh and Slim, my new boots are still in the bag. I gave it a quick attempt a couple weeks ago but couldn't easily dismantle the joint. Now it's getting cold!

I did it on mine it was a snap. First thing I discovered was that you can't put the jack on the axle it will bind the joints up.

I need to check that out on mine. Looks like it is the back hoe area....did you use the backhoe a-lot?

Cherokee, I am talking about the boots on the front axles/knuckles.

I just did my 200 hour on my 3 year old BX 1860. All went well except I broke the headlight assembly for the second time, and I am unable to install the new ($120) assembly--just won't fit right. So, I now have a headlight-less BX. Fortunately, my winter cab has good lights mounted up high.
