My guess it happens when one uses the steering wheel to pull yourself up on the tractor. My wife does that on our BX22. I've replaced the steering wheel once because of that practice.

I have no idea where the OP is located, but by the pictures I'm sure it's no where near NE Wyoming. He hasn't been on this site since the 21st so this is probably another thread with an unknown outcome.

Piston ring compressor works great but you probably don't have that or you wouldn't be asking. I've used a cut soda can and hose clamps before. Oil or grease on the seal and tube helps too. Be careful you don't cut the seal. You might need to hit the rod end with a hammer to get it started in.

I urge you to set up a test light to replace the fuse. It's the way the pros find shorts. Easy to do. No more feeding it fuses. The light is current limiting so no danger to the wiring. Easiest is to find an old headlight or taillight assembly and rob the bulb socket and some harness. Connect a...

There also may be other pages in the electrical with more detail on specific systems, such as lights.

You are only looking down stream (load side) of the fuse. A good method for finding shorts is to substitute a test light in place of the fuse, and watch the light as you wiggle the wiring. You can make a test light out of automotive bulbs. Say a headlight bulb for the higher amperage fuse and a...

The only book I have around here anymore is for a Case 830 that left about 20 years ago. It sounds like your procedure is correct. It does say that for a gas engine the timing is 4*BTDC and LP is 2*ATDC. I don't know if 6* would make enough difference.

Only suggestion I have is are you sure you're on the compression stroke?

Turn the switch to on, with the tractor in neutral jump the solenoid (the spade terminal) to the battery post on the starter. That should get the tractor started and get it to a place where you can work on it. Probably a safety switch but with the switch falling out it may be related to that.

You are picking on the wrong relief valve. I would really like to see a schematic of a BX24. There are changes between my BX22 and the BX23S posted. At any rate, you need to be checking HST charge pressure.

Pretty late to the party here, but looking at the WSM for my BX22, the filter is in the HST Loop. I would expect the problem to be stuck check valves in the high pressure relief valves forward/reverse. Nothing to do with loader relief valve. They are located, looking up from the bottom of the...

It helps too if you use the curl function as you load the bucket. It has more power than you lift function.

My opinion (retired machinist/millwright). The one bolt failure is definitely cyclic. I think the problem is loose hub to shaft fit and loose bolt fit. Driveline shafts have an acceleration/deceleration event twice every revolution. This is magnified as driveline angles increase. I believe the...

Kind of a long shot here but I have seen the inner lining of hoses come loose and act like a check valve. You might check the hose between the expansion tank and the radiator neck.

WSM. Downloaded it shortly after I got my 7060 but don't remember where I found it.
