    BX2380 12v accessory outlet question

    Installed at factory. I don't think I would have burned anything up since it was still fused but my LED light would not work the way it was wired since LED's are polarity sensitive.

    BX2380 12v accessory outlet question

    Just picked up a BX2380 and noticed that my 12v accessory outlet polarity is backwards. Positive is on the side terminal and negative is the center one. Is this normal for this plug? Has anyone else checked theirs?

    2002 B7500 headlamp multi switch

    My neighbor just picked up a used 2002 B700 and wonder what the circled symbol means on his switch in the pic. It will not move to that position and wonder if it is only used with an option? Also not sure if the center portion which is a button is supposed to do anything?

    Keeping your legs warm

    I am trying to find a cheap way to keep my legs warmer while plowing snow. Every time I'm out there plowing my legs start to get cold from sitting. I wear a pair of long johns and the wind after a while bites right threw them. I'm looking for a cheap supplement to my long johns and I have read...

    BX front drive shaft

    I have two quick questions. First, it doesn’t look like there are any zerk fitting to grease the front drive shaft u-joints. Is this because it doesn’t turn fast when in use? Are they a sealed u-joint? Second, is there a zerk fitting for the front axle pivot?

    Mysterious water leak, might end up being a project

    This maybe a hard question to answer but I will try to describe it the best I can. Four days ago we had an ice storm (1/2 inch) then a little rain then snow. I was checking the area around my pole barn the next day and noticed on one area (north side) of the siding there was a little (not big)...

    Power service??

    I just realized I poured the gray bottle power service in my containers before getting them filled. Since I already added the gray (diesel kleen) bottle is it all right to add some out of the white bottle for anti gel protection?

    Garden question??????

    I planted some jalapeno peppers (first time for me) on memorial day weekend and now have a bunch that are about 3 to 4 inches long. I went and picked one and it just tasted like a bell pepper (no heat at all). Am I to early? Do they have to mature longer? What’s the trick?
