Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 50 hour screwed up

[_RaT_]

First the ball goes in, then the spring, washer on bolt and thats it. While I do not have yoour tractor model, it would indeed appear to simply be a bypass for the filter should it ever become ocluded and develop enough pressure to press the steel ball against the spring load enough to simply move oil through that passage. I have on many occasions pulled out similar bolts with a spring an steel ball. Our JD ZTR comes to mind. You will be fine.

Thanks RaT California...That's what I needed to hear.

Now that I've done the 50 hours..clean and waxed the tractor,
I'll be glad to simply climb in the seat and start using it.

Now let's see how I hold it together when I setup the 3 point hitch for the 1st time.

Sounds like it's time to sit back and have a cool one now that the job is done... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Next time it will even be easier...one less bolt to remove... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looking back on the day I definitely have to agree, next time one less bolt.

Jim, for next time here is an exploded parts manual for your BX, courtesy of tractorsmart.

Click above on the underlined tractorsmart, it will lead you to a web page where you can download the parts manuals for your BX and accessories. They are pdf files and you need Adobe Acrobat reader to read them.

In the unlikely event you don't have Acrobat reader on your computer get one free at Adobe.com. It's really a valuable accessory for lots of information on the net.

Hi V8Dave,

I just searched the link and attached is the section I had a problem with. I had this link and did not think to use it.

Thanks for the advise and allowing me to confirm visually it when back together correctly.
