Hi everyone. I have a RCK60BX mower deck on my 03 BX2200. My question to you folks is the clearance of the deck to the rear tires. After all these years I noticed the gap between the rear tires and the deck is different on the left vs right side. On the right the deck clears by 1/2", on the...

Went shopping for lower cost OEM oil filters and found Amazon to be $6 higher than my dealer charges. Seems my dealer is not gouging like other dealers I know have. Not much more money than Walmart and OEM rather than aftermarket.:dance1:

Hope these help. Been a pain to get anything to post today.

Has anyone install a temp gauge on their BX? I would like to have one to monitor HST and trans temp. If so what gauge did you install and what problems did you have?

Good morning all. 76 and 93%. Possible showers this evening so need to get some things done. Hope everyone has a trouble free day.

Good morning everyone. Beautiful sunrise today. Heading to 85 deg. and sunshine. A little time to dry out here. Hope all those in the flooded areas are managing and starting to get back to normal. Thank you to all the veterans out there. Please take time today to remember all those who keep...

Hi Folks, I am working on my neighbors JD 155c. It has a short that is blowing the 20 amp fuse. I can track that down. The question I have is when bench testing the starter it draws 24 amps. Under load it draws 103 amps. This seems high to me. Does it sound like the starter is getting bad too?

Congrats on the new machine. Have your wife give us a review since you won't get to operate it:)

Good morning everyone. Enjoying a cup of coffee and watching the sunrise. Looking forward to the next couple of days in the 60's. Nice break from winter. Plan to get the tractor out and do some cleanup.

I just changed the engine oil after 100 hrs. I used Rotella T5. I found clumps of sludge in the drain pan afterwards. I use Kubota filters. The tractor has 1380hrs on it. Has anyone found this in their oil? I have not found sludge before using other oils in any of my equipment or vehicles.

Good cold morning. Just finished plowing a light snow. It has warmed up to 9f. Wind chill is -2 to -10. Glad I am back inside with a hot cup of coffee watching it from the window. Hope everyone is having a trouble free day.

I have some past experience in welding stainless steel. Mostly 304 using stick for the heavy stuff and heliarc for the sheet metal. My question is, does Mig or Tig welding have the same tensile strength and get as good penetration as stick welding when welding mild steel? Would Mig or Tig be...

I no longer have a dog in the fight but can't help wonder how the young contractors, construction workers and other related job workers are going to afford to keep and maintain trucks for work. The prices of new trucks are far more than what I paid for my first house. I bought a Chevy C10 new...

Well they don't make them like they use to. The double V belt on my MM mower deck has three vertical cracks in it. Time to replace it. The belt only has 1100hrs on it and is only thirteen years old. What gives:confused3::laughing: I only hope I get as much life out of the new belt. Their proud...

I have an 03 BX2200 with the D905 engine. The owners manual states 22hp. The engine has one label id'ing the engine as a D905. On the other side a label id's it as a D 1005-E and 23.5hp. I suppose the factory could have stuck the wrong label on one side. :confused3:
