I’ve exactly the same issue and have used exactly the same (blow backwards) solution. I also periodically drain the tank and shove a vacuum down it and suck everything out. It works for a while. I’ve never been able to get the camera (I’ve the model above) to show me anything interesting.

This is probably old news to most readers but I’ve received lots of helpful tips over the years so thought I’d post it anyway. I removed the rubber mat on my middle aged BX and found a reasonable amount of surface rust and peeling paint, especially around the grommets. It was easy to remove...

I've been a member since 2005 and am still classified as "new". I feel old. How long do I get to keep this moniker?

I suppose this is old news to experienced users, but new to me - after chipping a lot of freshly cut pine limbs, the chute on my BX42 started clogging very easily with needles and small branchs. I surmise that it's due to a build up of sap in the chute which is quite sticky. I wiped it down...

I just bought a chipper for my BX 25. It works very well except that if engage the PTO power then get off the seat of the tractor, the engine stops. How does one avoid this issue?

I've almost completed a 50hr service for my B3030. It was easy and I appreciate all of the guidance on earlier threads (removing the front tires to avoid draining front end fluids on them, etc.) I say "almost" because I haven't changed the fuel filter yet. The manual says the fuel line needs...

I'm looking for a little more stability for my 3030 when working on hills. Is is possible to get axle extensions to increase the rear wheel wheelbase? Is this likely to be effective?

I'm looking at a 3030 with LA402 FEL. I got a quote for $17,750 from Arroway in Katonah NY, which compared to $19k from Westco in Norwalk CT. The salespeople seemed knowledgable and friendly. The facilities aren't fancy but inventory seemed good. Any input on prices and the dealer would be...
