BX2350 parts falling off!

[robbo323]

BX2350 just hit 50 hours. Looked under the hood today & surprised to find all 3 bolts supposed to be holding cooling system reservoir tank on had all vibrated loose & disappeared. Worse yet, plastic reservoir then apparently leaned forward enough to rest up against belt pulley and ground a hole nearly through the reservoir! Anyone else have this happen and is it fixable under warranty? For the short term, anyone have any idea what size bolts I need to get this back on to limp by until I can get a hold of the dealer? I have a parts book that says they're #01754-50612, but no size.

It better be fixed under warranty....no excuse for that one. Not sure on the thread size, but the first thing is identify if it is fine or coarse thread....this is the spacing between the threads themselves.

The other thing is find some soft material like play-doh, and take and impression and match it up at the home improvement store. Length you should be able to eyeball. HTH.

Went out and checked mine. Everything appears to be tight. First I've heard of this one...hopefully just a fluke. Personally, I'd just go down to the hardware store and get replacements, give the receipt to the dealer...can't be more than a couple bucks. The reservoir on the other hand...I'd have the dealer give you a replacement...

Those bolts are likely to be 10mm metric with a flanged head. Look around your tractor to find what looks like the same size and try it for fit. If you find one you will have something to match to.
