thanks a bunch......any info. is appreciated.......I also have the turf tires.......here's another one.........would like to change the 4wd front axle oil soon........believe I can use the same oil for this as what's used in the trans......is this correct???.....thanks

You can use SUDT in the front axle. You can also use Gear Lube, as it says in the manual. Many of us here on TBN prefer the gear lube. Myself, I use a full synthetic 75w-90. It's virtually the same price of dino, but I'd like to think it has good flow in cold weather and superior protection. I use 4x4 so much of the time that gear lube is what is in mine.

WARNING. Try as you might, you just cannot seem to "fill" the front axle in one fell swoop. Fill it, then work it for a few hours in 4x4 and check it again. Bet it takes another pint easily.

The screen on the BX that I did with pictures is a screen that looks like a tampon. It is located behind the wheel, which I did not take off but it would have been easier with the wheel off. The head is just flat against the side of the, I guess transmission. Mine had nothing on it to almost nothing. Maybe some super fine bits of metal.
Found the post with pics and also bumped it.
