I've been wanting a higher steering wheel on my BX25. Does anyone know if one of the taller wheels like on the BX25D will fit the BX25? Thanks.

I've had back issues for 50 of my 72 years so the lack of suspension on the BX25 is an occasional problem. This year already I've been down 4 times so I thought it was time for some suspension. A little searching led me to a mechanical suspension seat which seems to have been sold by a number...

I started with a single grab hook welded in the center of the bucket on top. This worked great and as time went by I kept testing it. Well, I started clearing a lot with some good size oaks and in using the tractor as a skidder I bent the top of my bucket down about 3/8"; I had found it's...

In the lineup the ones on the left are from an older BX; those on the right from a newer BX. The mounting holes are slotted so all you need do is to loosen a bit to remove.

This is what it looks like. The bolt is a 5/16 grade 8.

I got the BX new in 2010 and it has about 650 hr. on it. When it was new, and for years after, it would start cold with a 10 second or less glow plug warm up. It would fire right off. For the last few years it has been taking a longer and longer glow plug warm up to start and even then it...

I was changing batteries on my BX25 and while connecting the new battery I got the leads crossed. I had taped a smaller wire to the negative lead with red electrical tape. You shouldn't do that. Anyway, I heard an electrical spark come from the engine area and now it is dead. I checked all...

It looks like it's worn right into the cutting edge bolt holes. If it were me I'd pull it back together and weld it up including the cutting edge. Then I'd make a set of skids that actually prevent the cutting edge from touching the ground. Like these - The BX2750D is a heck of a blower...

I added this to the bottom of my ballast box. It's Reese p/n 81378 for 23 bucks. It is the same height as the ballast box angle-iron feet so the box still sits nicely on the floor/dolly when off the machine.

I have that filter to convert my BX25 when it gets warmer. If it ever gets warmer! Bottom of bulb to top of mounting flange - 4.420" Bottom of bulb to highest point (OAL) - 4.435"

I run the same setup on my BX25. The first year I sheared 6 fan bolts but I blow nothing but graveled areas and I was picking up a lot of rocks because of the inadequate skids. I added skid shoes and made them to long enough to reach the cutting edge and now I might shear one a year or none...

I had this same problem and sheared 6 bolts the first winter. The OEM skids are just inadequate, too small, so I wanted to make them bigger. I had some ultra high molecular weight polyethelene (UHMW) which works like wood (you can cut it, shape it, even drill and tap it) and I fit it to the...

How about this?

I installed that Reese receiver on my ballast box 3 years ago and move my 2000+ lb boat with 300 lb tongue weight all the time with no problems. It worked so well that I've added one to the rear of the tractor for when the ballast box is off. As I recall I had to open two of the bolt holes a...

Saw this on North Myrtle Beach this morning. Poor guy. Another day of running up and down the beach.

I'm interested in replacing my BX25 seat with a seat that has an adjustable back. Has anyone found one that they are happy with? I would consider OEM or third party. Thanks for looking. Dean

Bob, when my new BX25 and BX2750D were going out to blow snow for the very first time I started off at maybe 2000 rpm. I went about 15 feet and sheared a fan bolt. So I changed it and in doing so I let the old shank drop into the bottom of the shroud. Well, I got back on the tractor, started...

Ray, something I did on my BX2750D front blower which has back-mounted skids was to increase the size of the skid. The original was .25" thick and wouldn't stay adjusted so I added to it using UHMW plastic about 5/8" thick and long enough to go under the cutting edge. I went from shearing 6...

I don't think you understand the situation. The BX2750D snow blower uses special shear bolts which have a reduced diameter at the shear points as seen in this photo. This is a 2750D auger shear bolt. The reduced diameters prevents a bur from jamming up the shank, in theory anyway. I have...

My driveways and my road are gravel and I sheared a lot of pins before adding these UHMW skids to my BX2750D blower. I had the material but it can be purchased at places like McMaster-Carr. While I didn't change my cutting edge I think it would work fine there also. It works like wood and is...

Well I finally got off my duff and got this mod done so I'm now just bringing closure to this very old thread. I fabricated some brackets and mounted the flashers up where they can be seen. I made the brackets so the flashers would be in front of the ROPS instead of between the uprights for...

Phil, I just did finish my actuator project and following is how I addressed the wiring, but there are many ways this can be done, no right or wrong way, just what works for you. I drew my power directly from the battery. I bought an inline fuse holder from an auto supply store and connected...

I have a BX25 with a BX2750D snow blower on it. I'm entertaining the idea of getting a blade also, either the BX2763A or the TG2754. It appears that you could go back and forth between the blower and the blade quickly. Does anyone know if this is the case or is the PTO shaft on the quick...

Does anyone know how to search for posts using 2 search terms and which the posts will contain both of those search terms? For instance, how do I search for posts which have both of the words "orange" and "green" in them?

I'm curious to know if anyone has used a linear actuator in the place of a hydraulic ram for a top link or bucket grapple. It seems to me that it would be easier than adding the hydraulics. Since you can get a 1000 lb. rated actuator, I wouldn't think lack of force an issue. I was thinking...

I do quite a bit of dirt road maintenance (1.1 mile long) with my BX and I've had a couple of close calls with vehicles even though the posted speed is 20 and I have all my lights on, day or night. I purchased a service light but it was a disappointment. The emergency flashers on the BX are...

I have a hard time greasing the swing frame pins and can only do it while actually swinging side to side. I have pulled the zerks and they work fine and have cleaned out the cavities. I'm now thinking that the fits might be so tight that grease has a hard time penetrating. I have no problems...

I've got a BX25 with a block heater and a guy at the dealer where I bought it said I shouldn't leave it plugged in more than 1/2 hour at a time. I believe his reasoning was that it would cook the oil. Well, I haven't used it but would like to so that the block would be warm when it starts. It...

I'm probably going to feel stupid when I find out, but I need to ask - There is about a one inch square hole in the back top edge of the BB and I have yet to figure out its purpose. Would someone enlighten me? Thanks. Dean

Last winter, my first with this tractor and BX2750D snowblower, I used a 400 lb ballast box and it seems that a lot of the time I had trouble steering in the float position, especially in deep snow. Running in 4WD helped some but it was still a problem. I thought the weight would help with...

I'm planning to install a linear actuator on my snow blower chute deflector and it looks like a 4" stroke will work but was wondering what "load capacity" I should use. I hate "overkill" when building things even though I've been guilty of it all my life so I'm looking for the lowest rating...

I have a new BX25 with an OEM ballast box which I will be installing for the winter. I'm thinking the bottom of the box might be a good place for a trailer hitch. Does anyone know, or would take a guess how far off the ground the box bottom would be at maximum height? Any comments on the idea...
