    Help please? getting access to BX-24 brake adjustment

    Hi folks, So the wife decided to do a bunch of mowing with the BX24 herself, because I was out of service with a neck problem, and the mowing couldn't wait. The job, she got-er-done alright, but told me that she almost crashed at the end of the session because our tractor had "no brakes"...

    BX24 - "The Nut that holds the throttle..."

    When people ask me what's wrong with their computers, I sometimes say, "well, there's this nut that holds the keyboard? there's your problem" and then I hustle away before the meaning sinks in.
