I just purchased oil filter, oil and a fuel filter from my dealer. He seemed very confused about the fuel filter and finally sold me a Koehler filter saying that was the correct replacement. When I got home I notice this filter is much larger, the fuel line size looks correct. Do you think it...

Hi I知 doing a complete service on my BX23 and I have a couple of questions. I have read through the John Thomas service thread. Most of the info is for the newer BX tractors but much of the info is the same My screen for the transmission oil is not like the one that has the small bolt and...

I got it yesterday. It has the Kawasaki 21 hp engine. It is much quieter then the Koehler! I cut the lawn after delivery and so far I would say I really like it. It seems fine on the slopes (I'm only going up or across them). Now i need to get better at turning without damaging the grass! I...

I broke the timing belt on a stump the other day and I replaced the timing belt, the blades and the main drive belt. I've had the deck on and off about four times, I line up the blades so that they are perpendicular to each other and as soon as I start the tractor they slip into a new position...

Thanks for the comments. The slope is fairly gradual, here are a couple of more photos that may give a better perspective.

My yard isn't too steep, here are a couple of pics

I have been using a Deere mower for years with a 42" deck (freedom 42). This deck does a great job but I am considering a zero turn. I mulch my leaves in the fall. I have a bit of a slope down by a pond what do you guys think? My concerns are the quality of the cut with the mulch kit, getting...

Hi I'm hoping someone can help me with this. My BX23 has spent its life in a heated garage. Today I noticed antifreeze dripping when I started it up. Looks like the leak is coming from a frost plug. Have a look and let me know if it seems like something I can do myself? Thx Glenn

Hi I have a BX23 and love it. Bought it new many years ago and I use the tractor for everything. I would like to put an LED light bar mounted down under ROPS and add a couple of small strobes for when I'm clearing snow. Does anyone have a good method of attaching these?

Hi: My next door neighbour purchased a BX 25D a few months back. He is just now trying to install the mower deck and can't figure it out. The dealer hasn't called him back, there are no instructions and he can't find any info on the internet? Can anyone pass on a few tips that will get him...

I have an old orange flashing light ( the kind with a rotating reflector) that I want to use on the bx roll bars when I am moving snow. Any suggestion as to where I should take the power from? I was hoping there was something under the seat but I don't see anything? Also, do you think a magnet...

Hi Guys I have an RTV 900 and can't say enough about how much I like it !!! For us, it is a real workhorse. Mine has had a couple of minor encounters with trees and one of the welds cracked on the front brush guard. I am having it welded, so, I will need to do some touch up painting to keep it...

Hi: I have a BX 23 with about 275 hours on it. I love this little TLB !! The question I have is- the dealer did the 50 hour service on it (at about 75 hours) I notice now that the front axle is a bit low on the dipstick -- the dealer is now out of business and I really don't know what he...

Hi I just purchased a schumaker 1000 watt power inverter for my 900. I wouldn't mind installing it permanently? What did you guys do? If I could find a nice quick connect for it that would be fine as well. I am thinking about getting a Remington electric pole saw (on sale) and also using a...

Hi I have an RTV 900 and I would like to do some pruning on my trails. I see Remington makes a nice inexpensive electric tree trimmer that requires 8 amps. I'm wondering if you guys think I would be able to use it successfully with an inverter on the RTV?
