I have been away from this forum for a while. I am glad to see it is still alive and kicking. I have a 2005 BX23 with around 200 hours. I don't normally fill the tank right to the top, but this last time the can was nearly empty anyway so I filled it to about an inch of the top. It's down a...

First removal of FEL and BH, first service, first "bath", first use of the MMM, and first reinstall of the FEL and BH - all in one weekend. Picture is of the stripped down BX23 after its bath. Got up to 54 hours early last week. I didn't want to stop in the middle of the job I was doing so I...

Earlier this summer, I decided to start construction of a 18'x36' workshop in a wooded area of my back yard. I planned on putting in a footer, a few courses of block to get up to ground level, then a concrete floor. The rest would be typical wood-frame construction. This is how most of the...

I went to remove the blades on my BX23-60"MMM and discovered that I don't have a socket or wrench that big. I would prefer using a socket, so I will have to stop at the store someday to get one (-or- father's day is rolling up. ). I measure it to be 30 mm. The manual says it is 30.2 mm. I am...

I've had my BX23 since March. Normally I pull it into the garage with the left side facing a wall. The last time I was out I backed it in, for no particular reason. As I am working around the garage on Saturday, I notice that the front wheel on the left only has 3 bolts instead of 4. I...

I just bought a set of the mower axles and wheels from Larry at moweraxles.com for the 60" MMM from my BX23. I first came across these in another post in this forum some time back. I was a little hesitant at first because this seemed like alot of money for just a set of wheels and axles. So...

OK, so this isn't very exciting. It turned out to be so funny that I just had to write about it. I had the BX23 for about 2 weeks and had only used the FEL. I figured it was about time to test the backhoe to make sure it was working. I have 3 boys who were badgering me to start digging...

Last night I took the mower deck off for the first time on my BX23. Given it was the first time it went pretty well. After disconnecting the drive shaft, I tried to turn it directly sideways to keep it out of the way while rolling the deck out from under the tractor. However, it won't go into...

For the past 20 years I have gotten by on an 18 HP garden tractor, but my to-do list is getting out of control - a 400ft driveway to repair, gas line to install, french drains to put in, drainage pipes to replace, well you get the idea. I started looking into the compact tractors and fell for...
