AirMax Series is what I have and works great. https://www.thepondguy.com/product/airmax-pondseries-aeration-systems/

100 ft x 100 ft pond, about 8 feet deep in the middle. One aerator runs 24x7x365 in western pa. No problems. I just clean the air filter on the pump a few times a year.

If it is stuck in Low, how does it start? I didn't think the bx would start in gear.

Ours is a Ritz Craft as well, however, I will say that ours is a 4 box cape and it was the first year that model was produced, so that may account for some of the issues we have had.

My modular home was built in 2005. I just replaced the roof last month because it was leaking. It was not installed right initially. Upon further investigation I will need to replace insulation because it too was not installed properly. While the home was still under warranty we had the company...

I live in Western Pennsylvania and we get all four seasons of weather. Our (manufactured/modular) home was built in 2005 with the ?0 year architectural shingles installed on the roof. It is a steep roof, similar to a traditional old church roof. The house is a story and a half cape code style, 2...

I have a Tjernlund model SS2 powervent on my Trane XP80 furnace with a Beckett model A, AF series oil burner. It was installed in 2005. For the past few years, the power vent will randomly not work and it locks out the furnace. I have had the local service company out to look at it a few times...

The pivot point on my bx2200 front axle has been leaking for a few years, more like dripping a little. It hasn't been a big deal. I use 80w90 gear oil in it, but I was wondering if a product like ATP AT-205 Re-Seal would help at all. I'll be changing the gear oil this spring as part of my...

Ever since I've had my bx2200 the parking brake lock lever rattles around and vibrates driving me crazy. This is the little metal lever by your left foot when sitting on the tractor. Does anyone else have this trouble and if so what did you do to solve it? Thanks Wes

So, I'm at work yesterday getting ready to leave and my coworker tells me I have a flat tire. I go out and take a look at it and sure enough it is completely flat. Another coworker says he has a can of fix-a-flat in his car. I'm not too keen on using the stuff, but it also just starting...

Hello all, I have a bx2200 and am looking at a way to attach some type of container, caddie, or bin, whatever you want to call it. It needs to be able to hold "stuff" like a cell phone, lighter, some type of ashtray/cup, and cigar cutter. I can't seem to come up with any good ideas. Anyone here...

What a day! I had a day off from work yesterday, so I decided to get my bx2200 ready for the summer. I changed the oil/filter, coolant, air filter, and fuel filters. It took a little over an hour and done?.nope. Hop on the tractor, it won稚 start. My first thought was the fuel filters. Why? I...

During the summer I take the front cover off of my furnace blower so it will move the cool basement air through the house when I turn the furnace fan on. As you can see in the photo, I put a filter on to trap some of the dust. Our basement is above ground and I usually leave the door open that...

I am in the market for a new and bigger refrigerator. I am looking for at least a 20 cu footer and am considering the freezer on the bottom. It just makes sense to me. I am mostly getting stuff in and out of the refrigerator and only once a day or so in the freezer. So bending down to look in...

I am looking for some help with 9mm ammo. I have a Taurus PT709 Slim that I carry. I plan on shooting groundhogs with it when I see them out, but I am not sure what ammo will be best for the task. What grain, type, etc? Here is what I would like the ammo to do. 1. Kill the groundhog as...

Ok. I live in the country (hence the post in the rural living forum) and whenever I go to the big city I drive by the electric company. On the weekends they have all of their bucket trucks in their parking lot with the bucket extended up into the air about 90% of the way up. Why? What is the...

I am looking at the Erskine Attachements snowblowers. Skidsteer Attachments - Erskine Attachments LLC Does anyone have one of their products? I have a bx 2200 and was curious about the front mount 620FM blower. It looks like a neat concept. Mounts to the front of the tractor, but uses the...

About a year ago I purchased a Slime brand tire pressure gauge, the round type with a needle to show the pressure in the tire. It broke after only a few uses, so I contacted Slime and they replaced the gauge free of charge. Last month, the tire pressure light on my car came on. This didn稚...

Yesterday, I took my 09 Subaru Impreza to the dealer where I purchased it for a recall on the brake line. They completed the work and did a multi-point inspection for free. Here is what they recommended to be fixed on the car: 1. License Plate Light Bulb was burnt out replace bulb $10 2. No...

I have a slow leak in my car tire. I took it off and could not find it, so I took it to the local garage and they couldn't find the leak either. The tire is about 90% good so I don't want to replace it. I hate dragging out the extension cord and compressor each week to fill up the tire (usually...

I am looking to build a basic swing set that will hold two swings and then later on one "porch" type swing when the two individual swings are no longer used. I am thinking of using the following (all pressure treated): 2 - 4x4x8 posts cemented 2 feet into the ground. 2 - 2x6 (maybe 8) x12 for...

I have a yellow 5 gallon diesel fuel container that I filled up this morning. There is a safe fill mark on it and I filled the can to just below that mark. I look up at the gas pump and the meter reads 5.071 gallons! Wow! Did I just break some laws of physics? So my question is: Is a 5 gallon...

I recently tested my well water for my house and the result was a ph level of 5. It looks like a soda ash injector is what everyone recommends for adjusting the ph level to that degree. Anyone use one of these? It looks like I would then also need a water softener and some filters. Any thoughts...

I was looking to add some saddlebags to my bike and needed a bracket. I was stunned at the cost of some chintzy brackets, so I decided to make my own out of Sched 40 PVC and some mending braces. I had most of the materials already, so it was just a matter of putting it all together. It seems to...

So I have noticed lately that my wife and I have been running out of orange juice before shopping day. We always buy 2 half gallons. I just figured with summer, maybe we were drinking more. Then I happened to look at the container, it now holds 59 ounces. Hmm. Last I checked a half gallon was 64...

My adventures continued last night with a ride to a local nature area. The weather was perfect, sunny and a comfortable 70 degrees. Before the trip, I needed to check the coolant. I started the bike to let it warm up a little. All of a sudden the bike stalls. I start it up and it stalls...

Last week I picked up my first street motorcycle. It is a 2001 Honda Shadow with about 13,000 miles on it. The bike is in great shape and I think I got a pretty good deal on it as well. Riding it home was pretty nerve racking once I got to the main highway, but I had my brother following behind...

I currently have a 100 gallon propane tank from Amerigas that I use for our indoor direct vent propane gas fireplace in the winter. I don't use 100 gallons a year, usually only about 50-60 gallons, so they charge me rent plus the cost to fill it up. My question is, can I get my own RV or grill...

I live in the woods in Western Pennsylvania and have a 20 mile commute to work each day. The road I drive is a divided 4 lane highway. Traffic is not too heavy, but there are a lot of trucks, mostly coal trucks that like to go fast. With the price of gas, I am considering getting a motorcycle...

I have an oil furnace with a tiger loop installed since 2005. I installed a pellet stove about 10 feet away from the furnace in 2008 and had no trouble with either until January 2012. Last January my furnace stopped working. The repairman came out, bled the line and it was fine. The problem...

I have one of those outdoor temperature sensors that uses 2 AA batteries to wirelessly transmit the outdoor temperature to my indoor base unit. The problem I have is it eats through 2 AA batteries in about a month, rechargables about 3 weeks. I would like to convert this to AC. Is there some...

Since I live in the woods I am fortunate enough to have my own gun range and with all the talk lately about guns on here I thought I would post my experiment from this past weekend. Ruger LCR .38spl vs Taurus PT709 This weekend I performed a highly unscientific, but fun experiment. I stacked...

I have a pellet stove and am looking for some type of battery backup. I am not looking to run the stove on a UPS rather I just want to give it 15 mins or so of run time to shutdown so the smoke doesn't fill up the house. I was thinking of a 1500watt pure sine wave UPS for computers. The stove...

My friend was looking through some boxes from her grandfather and came across a handgun. Attached is a picture of it. Anybody have any idea where I can find some information about this gun? .22 shorts fit in it. .22L will probably fit as well but didn't have any of those to try. .22LR do not...

For some reason I don't have much luck with 2 stroke weed eaters. They only seem to last for a few years then I am spending more time, effort, and money trying to fix them than it would be if I just bought a new (cheap) one each year. Not only that they are crazy loud and my wife can never get...

Hello, I think I have an oil leak on my bx2200. It isn't much, but I just want to know what I am dealing with when it starts leaking more. Attached is a photo from Messicks web site. It shows the part that is leaking. The oil appears to be leaking from the gold square thing to the left of the...

Hello, My wife wants to get a weedwacker, which we could really use. However, I remember them as a kid and they were really tough to get started or keep running or messing around with the spool/cord...etc.. Are they any better today? I see Cub Cadet has a 4 stroke model. That sounds...

Hello, There are 3 wires under the seat of my bx 2200. The one wire I connected a work light too. Another wire has a male connector on it. The last wire has a female connector on it. I plugged the male wire connector into the female wire connector and the hst light on the dash came on. I...

I have had my bx2200 now for 4 years or so. I have also used Kubota parts (oil/filters/etc). Yes, they do cost more, but in comparison to the price of the tractor I figure why not, a few bucks won稚 hurt and I know everything will be compatible. Yesterday, I went to the dealer to buy oil (kubota...

Hello, I am in need of a loader Pin. It needs to be the same thickness as this kubota part # 75563-58710, but it needs to be about 7 inches long. Does anybody know or can someone measure the diameter of this pin. This is the pin that connects the center cylinder on a loader for the bx2200...

Hello, I have a TRANE direct vent oil furnace. I noticed there is some white chalk like powder that is seeping out of the flue area on the direct vent. Any ideas what this could be and is it dangerous (flammable)? Someone said it was a sign of carbon monoxide. We do have a CO2 detector and it...

While I was cutting the grass on Saturday, the mower on my bx2200 snagged a big rock out of the ground and got wedged half under the mower deck. I heard some loud rock smashing and then the entire bx shut down. The whole thing lasted less than probably 3 seconds. It happend so fast I didn't...

The drilling company came back on Friday and installed the pump into my new well. Here are some pictures of the process. The pump was set 10 feet from the bottom at 110ft. Flickr: Photos from wjmst Click on Well Pump Here is a parts/price break-down. 1 – 10 gpm 1/2hp B Pump = $570 1 – DS 20...

We had a well drilled yesterday and I wanted to give everyone the results. We currently use spring water, which is good until late August, then it dries up. The other problem is in the winter when it freezes. So we opted for a well to hopefully solve both problems. We are located in...

Hello, I currently have 2 - 275 gallon Roth fuel oil tanks in my basement. I need between 600-750 gallons of fuel for the winter (October to May). I would like to add a 3rd 275 gallon tank, which according to the Roth company is possible. However, the local oil company says it is against code...

I am out of ideas. On saturday morning our pipes froze in our spring house and when the pump kicks on it blows the pipe right off, so I fixed that. The temperature outside was -2 and the temp in the springhouse was 17. I put a kerosene heater in there saturday and thought there should be no...

Hello all, I completed my 300 hour maintenance on my bx2200 this weekend. It took most of Saturday to complete. I do have a couple of questions though. Oil/Filter – 10w30 kubota brand – no problems Trans/Filter – SUDT – easy to do Trans Screen – This was the first time I cleaned this...

This weekends project was to prepare my springhouse for winter. It turned into a demolition project. Next weekend will be the rebuilding. Here is a link to some photos. http://photos.yahoo.com/wjmst The folder is called spring house. Everything inside was either rotted or the termites ate...

Hello, My wife and I decided to build a house. We first removed the exisiting barn (where we want to build the house). Then we got the foundation setup (Superior Walls) and then the modular house was set. Here is a link to view some photos of the process. http://photos.yahoo.com/wjmst Click...

Hello, I was moving rock today (fel) and I noticed that my front tire was misshaped. It has a "bubble" in it and is very soft around that bubble, not rigid like the rest of the tire. The tire is the turf OTR Grassmaster for the bx2200. Any ideas what could have caused this? Can it be fixed or...
