BX 1800 hood shake

Re: BX hood shake

My BX shook too, when I bought it, but i fixed itby buying some of those self-adhesive rubber feet and putting them on the tractor, where the hood sits when latched. This forces me to push down on the hood to latch it, but it works great. No more rattle!

I just put a little self adhesive foam weather stripping tape on all the surfaces where the hood could rattle against the body of the BX2200. Now it is silent -- no rattle. Home Depot carries it.

My BX2200 had the "rattle" also. A simple fix, which was mentioned on this board is to very very slightly bend the hood inwards on the side of it. Take one hand on either side and a very little push. What this really does is make a tighter fit on the latch.

I did this and no rattles anymore. Even at idle.
