    Painted filters

    So changing out all filters and fluids on my new old (234 hrs) BX1500 everything went easy. Engine oil black as coal. 20 or 40 little metal shards on the hydraulic fluid trainer. Machine runs great. Here and there on the web I run into statements from posters that the "painted filters are...

    BX1500 repair/replace fuel line

    Don't know exactly why, except there maybe should have been another tie on the fuel line, or let the slack lay somewhere else, but the HST fan on my new used BX1500 nicked the fuel line that runs past it. I got my parts manual disc from eBay today, but this good computer can't read that disc...

    Tow 1.5 tons up a 10 degree deep sand slope

    My 4-Runner is ready to trade in and my old JD garden tractor is getting fussy. Tasks: 1) Put in and take out a boat/trailer, which weigh about a ton combined. The saltwater launch site is about a mile from my house, woodsy neighborhood, so nobody will complain about going less than 10 mph...
