I think I have a couple of old 12v headlights off a Farmall, I may give that a try as well if they test ok on the meter.

What I just refilled it with I know is winter diesel and I treated it as well, so I'll be interested to see if it starts easier.

Thanks for this info Dave, much appreciated. I'll give this a try when I get some time after work some evening. I believe the BX is fully manual on the GP, the key is spring loaded in the GP position and when you release it the current disappears. I'll test the leads in the start position...

I'll try that, what's the go/no go for restance readings? It has a block heater, one with 'made in Canada' on the plug. The block will be over 50C in a couple of hours and it starts like summer. It's just never struggled to start down to -15 until this year even when it's not plugged in, so...

Hello all, I'd like to ask a favor from the group. Anyone who has a BX and a DC clamp meter, can you hook it to the main wire connected to the glow plug bus bar and see what kind of draw you get when you activate the glow plugs? I get around 32 amps initial, but it drops to under 20 amps after...

Here's a pic of the hook with the centre pin on the forks attached to it.

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to get some thoughts on something I've been considering. I just got a kubota quick attach system and a set of pallet forks for my BX25 and noticed that the center pin on the bucket/forks is picked up by a very big heavy duty hook on the quick attach bracket. I was...

I've had my BX25 for 2 years and it's done all I expected and more. This morning I hauled out a concrete base for one of those old 12 foot satelite dishes with the BH. It dug it up and drug it out of the hole no problem. I chained it up and drug it 100 yards up a wet grass slope. It did that...

Hey guys, I've been following this site for a long time, it helped me a lot in the purchase of my new bx25 :) So now I have my first question, I found a loose, important looking spring under my seat when I flipped it up for the first time. It is gold in color, about 5 inches long and has a...
