Hi folks, I have a 14 year old 800hr BX1860 on which I've just discovered the propeller shaft front joint cover (aka dust boot) (item 20 below) has worn through and fallen off. Interestingly, the damaged boot was just sitting atop the MMM deck which I had pulled off for springtime blade...

I have a BX1860 (ca. 2010) with ~190 hours on it. For the most part I use it for mowing (MMM) and some FEL work (mulch and topsoil). A couple of weeks ago, in prep for this mowing season, I changed all the filters and such -- including the HST filter. This is the second time I have swapped...

Looking for ideas here... I've have a BX1860 for 3 years now and my only complaint is the volumetric capacity of the FEL. The sizing of the FEL is such that I can pick up and safely move a full load of 3/4" gravel, no problem (of course the little BX has to be appropriately ballasted at the...

Maximum horsepower on the BX2360's D902 engine is at 3600RPM. Wrooster

Good stuff! but: Rafters will be 2x6? What is your snow load like in NY? Wrooster

There is no way to get all the water out by trying to drain the sprinkler system in the basement. The most effective way to winterize a system is by using an air compressor attached to the manifold, and blowing the water up and out of the heads. Attach the compressor to the manifold, set the...

The 026 and 026 Pro (and MS260 / MS260 Pro) differ only in the addition of the compression release and manual oiler. All other mechanicals are the same. The primary difference between Stihl "occasional use" and "pro" models is the style of construction of the engine. All odd-numbered saws...

No more rock piles for me, thanks!!! :)

I agree with the comments above regarding using a gravel base for the slab. Ideally you'd use a block foundation as well -- but otherwise to support the walls you are going to have to pour thicker at the perimeter and use rebar. A couple of other thoughts... 1) Make sure the slab is pitched...

I think some folks may know what you mean -- but you didn't buy a 1/2 gallon of liquid N. :laughing: Wrooster

Read the following thread, and pay attention to the details and pictures I posted on pages 2, 9, and 10: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/rural-living/217701-gun-safe.html On page 9 of the link above here is a nice picture of a Winchester "safe" pried open with a Hi-Lift jack. Then there is...

Can a GM dealer refuse to do warranty work on a vehicle not purchased there? In any case... I don't think it's a good idea to leave a message on a voicemail, stating that you won't do warranty work as an explicit threat to a perspective buyer considering purchasing a car from another dealer...

I searched but did not find a thread on this. I'm looking to pick up a few things in the near future (e.g. some transport chains, etc) and was wondering if there was a place which people were posting Black Friday "deals" like free shipping etc. I could not find anything much tractor-related...

Folks, I purchased a used TPH implement and the relatively short PTO shaft which came with it is "not quite" long enough to make me comfortable. There is only about 2" of overlap on the shafts, with the load requiring about 15HP. I would be more comfortable with 6" or better of overlap, which...

Folks, It does not appear to me that the BX series has any type of low oil or low oil pressure engine shutdown. Is there a reason for this omission? Is there a way to retrofit something in? Seems like a good idea, and therefore a useful insurance feature if it can be added at reasonable cost...

How do I find threads which I have posted in & have had activity since my last visit? Title basically sums it up. Follow along: I visit TBN. I add a post to an existing thread. I leave TBN. I come back to TBN at a later time/date. How can I see a list of the threads which I have posted in...

Hi, I have a 2010 BX1860 with the 54" MMM (the non-fine cut type). The BX has got just shy of 100hrs on it, and the MMM has been hanging off the tractor for I'd say half of that time. No problems to date. For the past 3-4 months I've been cutting the grass using the MMM, as normal, with no...

After the 87th time needing some random tool/item while out and about on the tractor, I decided to build a carryall for my carryall. My goal was also to make it detachable so that if I didn't need it, it could be left. I finally settled on the approach shown below. Note that an interesting...

Observant readers of the Feldmann TurfVent thread might have noticed an underlying project. Here are those results. Nothing really special here: a Tractor Supply brand carryall frame, some 2x12 lumber, some bolts, and a chilly breezy day... Regards, wrooster continues...

Since some of the BX owners here might be interested, see http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/199991-feldmann-turf-vent-aerator-stand.html Regards, wrooster

Pictures should tell most of the story. :) This is the 2nd time I have used it (~2acres total, today I just did the back yard), first time was last fall -- it works well and appears to be a pretty sturdy attachment for the price. There are grease zerks on each pair of tines for periodic...

Hi, Hopefully a simple question. What is the hole diameter of the blade used on the BX1860 54" MMM RCK54-23BX? Or asked another way... What is the correct Gator Mulcher blade for use on a RCK54-23BX? The Messick's site says the OEM for the BX1860 54" MMM RCK54-23BX is Kubota P/N...
