BX2200 NOT LEVEL

[rosey]

While in my garage yesterday I just happened to notice that my BX2200 leans slightly to the right (about 1/2 inch) if you're looking straight on at the grill. The garage floor is perfectly level. Tires and rims are fine including air pressure. There was an earlier post concerning this but it really didn't address the issue. Any ideas????...this is driving me nuts!! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Saw this post in another thread yeaterday.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( My 2210 was delivered with the loader "off" by about an inch. Dealer came out, took it back and looked it over "no problem found"....since loader would sit level with ground when placed in float mode. I played with tire pressure - no results. So I lived with it. The loader and the grill/hood are parallel so I knew it was something with the tractor frame or rear tires.

This year I replaced my turfs with a set of bar tires. To my amazement, my loader is now perfectly level with the ground. Close checking shows that one of rear turf tires is larger in diameter than the other (at the same PSI).

Wouldn't hurt to measure the diameter of both rear tires. )</font>

Rosey:
You ought to put a level across the frame to make sure. If it is truly racked then the front end alignment as well as other stuff might be out of wack.
If I had to guess, the grill and or the hood might be out of alignment and it makes everything else seem crooked.

Ron..
Thanks for that post...sounds like the Turf Tires could be the culprit since I didn't notice the problem with my Bar Tires on.
I'll check furthur.....hood, grill and frame are in perfect "un-allignment" with the floor.

While on the subject of tires......what is the recommended psi of the BX's Tires?

Rosey; The recommended tire pressure is 25psi max for the front, and 20 or 22 for the rear. I run 25 in the fronts when the loader is on, and 22 otherwise. I run 18 in the back with no ill effects.
Measuring tires is the way to go if you are absolutely concerned with levelness. I know many racers that do that with race cars.
