BX2200 Bent Frame?!!

texasbx · May 16, 2003

I noticed that my tractor was sitting weird and measured the front corners of the frame. There is almost an inch difference between the two!! With the fel on and the bucket resting on its edge, there is almost 3" difference. I'm calling my dealer tomorrow, but has anyone else heard of / seen this before?

Did you check the air pressure in all the tires? I know it sounds a little odd, but a low rear tire will make things off at the front end.

I can't imagine that its bent. Its a 5" tall plate steel frame, and should handle more power than the bx can put out by a wide margin. You'd never get the fel on or off, or get the mower level if it was off that much IMHO. Bird is probably correct, but keep us up to date as you get more info.

Well, chalk this up to "I feel just plain stupid". I checked the air pressure in the right rear tire, and the guage didn't even move (less than 10 lbs). So 20 lbs in all tires and we're off and runnin' again. Thanks for your help!!

We've all been there, so it's always fun when it's someone else. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yeah, been through this scenerio myself. Trouble is, the tires don't look flat!

I give you points for paying attention to details and finding a cure. I know I would feel terrible if I ignored something, that I had an idea might be wrong but then let it go all the way into a disaster.
