Got the prime coat on last night and will start work on a box & dolly for it next week. The forks and the verticals are nested C channel, the pin receivers are DOM tubing, the cross bars are 1/4" wall box, and the elbow was filled and welded with scrap to stiffen it up. Most parts out of the...

As usual took my inspiration from many great posts here on TBN >.. After 225 hrs decided to remove the backhoe to fab a rear carrier as we have 6 big (16" +) red & white oaks to drop & buck this fall - wacked by the gypsies 2 years ago. Carrier fab I will post in a couple of weeks, here is the...

If you've been following my recent posts you'll know I have filled all four tires (to 75%) and have bumped up the pressure relief to 2000psi. Last weekend while finishing the wood pile for next winter (lot of load way out on the FEL carrier) I noticed a pretty good crush on the front tires. I...

Does anyone have a work shop manual for the BX? I recently bumped the main relief valve to 2000psi as measured at the FEL QDs and got what appears to be a decent bump in capacity (see recent post in customization). However, In going through the parts diagram for the backhoe valve assembly I...

As you guys know it's hard to stay warm on a cabless tractor unless you get off to shovel and warm up from time to time. See the pics for my solution. The beige liner zips into the red shell, or can be worn under any coat. I stitched on (I sew better than the bride hate to admit) the red collar...

Bad day goes from bad to worse . . Started taxes today and for a break went to the garage to take the tractor down to scrape the end of the drive . . . all 4 tires were flat. As per my last post I recently filled all 4 with wind wipe fluid and it appears the alcohol seems to be dissolving the...

Gave the BX some more muscle for Christmas last night. After reading a post about this I ordered some shims from Kubota for the pressure relief valve, & made a pressure gauge assembly with parts from online. I did the testing off the FEL lift quick disconnect male fitting (red arrow in picture)...

Wanted a lever indicator for the bucket, but not a bolt on rod type. After a bit of head scratching, a couple coors lights, and digging through some old parts boxes, this is what I've come up with: The sensor in the arm is a magnetic reed switch. The magnet is bolted to a carved up stainless...

As you may have seen from past posts, I had added a lever to operate the HST in the unused slot next to the 3ph lever. I have added an overide switch in parallel with the under seat switch to the lever in order to to allow the tractor to be moved forward or back while the seat is reversed in the...

Hanging out to dry - finally finished the forks for the bx24. They also provide a base for the carrier I'm planning to work on today. If you check the pic of the fel, you'll see why I had to pad the forks - it accomodates the additional thickness of the 1/2 x 4" cutting edge. Also welded a web...

Accidentally posted a new thread under "attachments" FEL stop bumper, but meant to post here - does anyone know how to move it?

Unfortunately suffered a bit of rib damage two weeks ago (4 broken in 8 places on the left side) and you can believe what you hear, the pain from even a little cough for the 1st week is truly world class. Did give me some time off work to mess in the garage which took my mind off it. The bumper...

Notes from the Monster Garage; Despite the generous advice of "A light foot", and "Experience will prevail" I've read on various posts, the sudden reverse "slam" that we bx24 owners continually encounter prevails with no factory fix - until now. However, the "fix" is not for the faint of heart...
