I just finished a job of pulling fence post and was driving back to the garage. When pow, the eye on my CCM hydraulic top link broke. Dropping the box blade in the ground.:mad: I had not been using the blade at all today just had it on for weight. The thing just snapped without warning. Does...

Last weak I got my new fan guard from my dealer. Got around to installing it this past Saturday morning. After installing it, I was quite disappointed with the level of protection it had. The only real protection it offered was if something came at it straight up from the ground. It left the...

I added a Hydraulic cylinder to my rear blade this fall. Now I am able to rotate it over 180 degrees with out getting out of the seat. Can't wait to try it out in the snow, which we haven't got any yet. I used a 3" bore 10" stroke cylinder I know this is a little to big of a cylinder but it was...

This past weak I done the 300 hr. service on my BX2350 changing all the fluids and filters. When I installed the new Kubota oil filter I had noticed that it didn't feel quite right going on. So I removed it and gave it a quick look over and didn't notice anything unusual with it. So I...

I picked up a new middle buster at TSC today. The original price on it was $124.95 on the tag, then it was marked down to $99.99. So when I went to pay for it came up to be $74.95 man what a deal. Like a kid with a new toy I couldn't wait to try it out and almost got stuck. My garden is way to...

This past weekend I got around to making a set of stands for my RCK54 mower deck. I only wish I would have made them sooner makes storing and moving so much easer. I started out with 2 pieces 1" round bar 12.5" long. Tap one end to 3/8"16 for shoulder bolts. The other end I turned down to 1/2"...

This past October I had to remove 25-plus 4x4 fence post all in in concrete. I started out using a nylon strap and choker and pulling them out with the FEL. Doing this by myself was going to take forever. So I had to come up with a better way. So the next post I curled the bucket while raising...

I installed my new CCM top link cylinder a couple of weaks ago. I have to say that a hydraulic top link is the way to go when using a box blade. Adjustment at you finger tips brings box-blading to a new level. CCM is great to business with and the cylinder is of the highest quality. The cyl. I...

When I had my right rear wheel off of my BX2350. I noticed there were a set of stops under the hydraulic control lever. The stops do not come in contact with the lever. Looks like the bracket is turned around so the stops don't hit the lever. The bracket appears to be reversible and the stops...

This weekend I installed the BX7326 Rear Aux. Kit on my 2350. This kit is very well made and very well designed. It was relatively an easy install probably taking 40 minutes at most. I only had two minor problems with the install. The first one is the bolt supplied with the kit to hold the valve...

I had a problem with my seat latch squeaking it was quite annoying. I tried greasing it and this would quiet it down for about 20 to 40 minutes. So then I tried an industrial Teflon tape this would last a couple of days and then wear through. I needed a permanent fix and this is what I came up...
