HI GUYS,been a while

Alan,

If I am seeing correctly, you have taken the air cleaner bracket off of the engine and mounted it on the engine cowling, right? That's a good move. Next time it breaks, it will get moved. Thanks for the heads up.

YES,Having the aircleaner on the engine was a stupid design,these engines really thrash at idle.Iused some 1 inch flat stock and used the bolts already there that holds the hood and cowl on.Ihad more pics and cant find them,but i painted it orange too.Can take pics if you need some .1/2 HOUR JOB Can you tell im not afraid to modify my tractor?

Hi Alan - I think I've been gone longer than you have. Good to see you're still coming up with innovative fixes for the BX. I will also do that mod when my aircleaner bracket breaks next time.

Never did fab my own thumb, ended up buying a Wallenstein. Still have the flat stock for it, though...

HI RADAIR,
Nice to hear from ya!
Iactually did that aircleaner thing a few years ago,now i think,with no issues since.If im not mistaken they redesigned the air cleaner on the BX-24,I DONT THINK THEY HAVE IT THRASHING WITH THE ENGINE ANY MORE.
Icant really blame any one from buying a thumb,they are alot of work.If you recall when i built mine,the idea of a thumb on a bx was not popular or widely heard of.
My cab project is my project jewel.Working on it each night ,makes me feel like its turning into one of those sweet little cabbed tractors lke that 3030[i think it is]only in a smaller version.

Thanks to MUHAMMAD for fixing my password thing for me ,since the "TBN COMPUTER" didnt send me passwords.Im glad now Ikept trying to get back,even though i was irritated,i was persistant Imust hold the record for requesting a password. Although I never posted with it ,Iset up a new account ,with my wifes e-mail and Iwas escavadar[with an a] Once i contacted BIRD,he forwarded MY stuff to the BOSS and im back If i could get wifey to join us ,she can use that name.Of course ill have to be careful what i say then
I really like this forum,because their are alot of KUBOTA people on here.The other site i visit is nice too,i still check in there too.Its a big world on the internet,if there was only one site ,no one would ever have a chance to talk.
Ill admit though TBN is back being my home page.
