The local credit union has a 2008 M5040 cab tractor up for bids. The tractor has loader mounts but the loader is not on it. Not sure whats up with that. It has 1800 hours and other than the Kubota pink fenders and wheels, it looks pretty good in the pictures. Only other thing I could see from...

So, two weekends ago, I rented a Cat 303.5 mini and dug about 500' of 6' deep trench for 3 new Woodford hydrants and a curb stop for a future sprinkler system. I actually had planed on 800' and two more hydrants, but underground rock altered that plan. I got all the polypipe, hydrants, and the...

I have found a used JX75 MFWD with cab on a dealer lot that I think would fit my uses well. I haven't inquired at the dealer yet, but was wondering if anyone can comment on this tractor or JXs in general. I searched and found a little info but there doesn't seem to be many owners here. Maybe...

I saw these at work last night. We were asked to make a new spindle for a piece of equipment and the customer brought in the bearings for it. Unopened SKF boxes. Inside were tapered roller bearings with SKF markings, as well as "Made in China". He bought these at the local NAPA store. I hope...

There is a BX quick hitch and blade listed on tractorhouse.com. I think it was listed for $650 and its located in Virginia. I'd be interested if it wasn't so far away. Kim

Can any one recommend a coil siding nailer that actually works? Have (had) a Makita NR611 that I have fought for the last time. Never drives two the same, skips, drives twos. have to help it feed. Tried two different brands of nails with equal results. It's now in the garbage can. I'm putting up...

Was wondering if anyone has done their own hidden fastener snap together roofing? I'm adding an attached garage and want to reroof the house to match. House has shingles now. I've done a few pole barns and one steel building so working with the pro rib style materials is familiar and I have the...

First blowable snow of the year so I got to try out the BX22 and the B2650 snowblower I mated to it. Single digit temps so I dumped a little Power Service in it and headed out. I tried putting a piece of 2" ABS pipe on the cutting edge and that lasted about 2 seconds and the auger grabbed it. I...

Wondering anyones opinion or experience with this. I have an old ('67) Case 830 with a Koyker loader (probably a little newer than the tractor, but not by much as it has rawhide piston seals) I handle big square hay bales with. The tractor sets outside for two or three weeks between uses. This...

Was doing some of the 300hr service on the the BX last night. Book says the cap. of the front axle is 5 quarts. Drained both sides of the axle and waited until it had pretty much quit dripping. I put the plugs back in and poured in about 2 quarts in the right side and then was pouring the rest...

I'm having problems with air in the bucket tilt cylinder on my 22. Dealer says its normal. Could you try this for me? With the tractor at about 1/3 throttle, curl the bucket up, then back down and hold till the air is purged, then back up and then down. Grab the lip of the bucket and see if you...

I have a BX22 which seems to always get air in the bucket tilt cylinder. Even after fully stroking the cylinder and holding it until the relief valve bypasses to expell the air, after a few cycles it will have air in it again. Its only in the direction of dumping. Once you get it tilted down to...

Has anyone built one? I have several projects coming up that I could use one on. I was thinking of a steel plate with either a hydraulic or electric motor driving an offset weighted shaft mounted in pillow block bearings. I want something that could be mounted to either the BX22 backhoe or...

I've been looking for a BX22 with a MMM. The only good deals I can find are on the East Coast. I'm Located in NE Wyoming. The three closest dealers are all within $400 of each other at $18,600 to 19,000, two won't go any lower, and the other I need to work on some more. Why can't (or won't) a...
