John, I have NEVER been happier to be wrong!!!! Apologies, George

Well, I hope this is not the right one, but ya never know. https://www.somersetkyobits.com/obituaries/john-j-c-thomas/

Cummins made 12 valve mechanical engines, and put them in the Dodge Trucks, until December 31, 1997. This included the first of the 98's, hence you see the term 98.5 on many. It means they are mechanical. I've had a lot of offers, but my 97 isn't leaving me!! Super simple to work on, NO DEF...

OK, looking for some opinions here. I am looking at a Nortrac snow blower, they're a good bit cheaper than the everything attachments one, and the reviews are quite good. The 60" model says 25 hp tractor. Does anyone have a BX-25 with a 60" blower? Does it handle it? We do not get big snows...

Agreed, my goodness, what DID we do before the internet? Well, for one, we were smart enough to cut our tank of diesel fuel with a gallon, or so, of kerosene, end of problem! Filters had water separators on them though, and the little fella Kubota's don't have that luxury. As for water in the...

I have a LOT of experience with diesel engines, a lot of them in generators where I hold a bunch of certs. I have always been a bit leery of additives. Diesel is a lubricant. We used to start engines that hadn't been run in years. They would smoke a bit at startup but would run just fine and I...

Found them! What a failed battery looks like, and another warning that you do NOT want to be there! Not likely to happen in an automotive type setting though, and that's a good thing. Gives you a good reason to exercise your batteries, doesn't it? George

Wanna see what 'sulfation' looks like? Look at the white substance on the bottoms of these batteries, that's the lead powder forming on the bottom. When it gets bad enough, the battery will consume itself aka 'going negative'. When it gets bad enough, it's pronounced 'Thermal runoff' and you do...

I have severe arthritis. That's not nearly as much fun as it sounds! :D I take the mower off my tractor during the winter because we do get snows over 12" (OK, not this year, but who knew?) and the mower would be a major impediment. I have a lot of pain stepping up to the tractor floor from the...

Just for giggles, I scanned in my wiring diagram for my BX-25D, 2011 version. It does not show a 30 amp fuse in the mess at all. Sorry, the diagram was long and I could not scan it in all at once, makes me miss working where I had such stuff, but use your imagination! Not much missing. George

Took me awhile! We got about 29" from that goober, and with the wind, we had some nasty drifts. Still, Chains on the rear of the BX-25, and no problems. Even had to pull my neighbor out of a ditch with his Bobcat! Highlight of the day! I'll post a picture, to the right, you cannot see the steps...

We got about 28". Hard to measure though, the way it was blowing it was hard to tell, we had a foot in some places and six feet in others. Neighbor and I always plow out the entire street, that's nine houses, but we are keeping a tradition alive. He owns a Bobcat. Sunday, he comes up and says...

Carb cross reference Asking for a neighbor. He has a John Deere 240 that he wants to give to his son. Son just bought a small farm in Maine and needs a little help obtaining equipment. Anyway, this little tractor has not run in a few years, he just doesn't need it anymore, hence the gift to his...

Good idea! I hope you have your answers, or someone who is a real body man may ring in. I have two brother in laws (one deceased) that are real body men, so I had a lot of advice....but no help, they lived too far away!!! Here is a picture of his Case I found just before his final sanding. You...

OK, finally got pictures of my neighbors Case, one before, and one after. I had pictures of it when it was finished, but can't find them now, had to wait for him to send one! The pictures are after we took the backhoe off This was all done with Rustoleum, not the first one I've seen it done...

Yup, cult following, I'm a convert! That little thing is unholy powerful FOR IT'S SIZE. It is NOT a full size excavator, and yes, it may take you a few minutes, but if you're not putting in Septic systems commercially, it'll do anything you ask of it. Of course, you don't have to use it just...

A picture is worth a thousand words - Old Chinese proverb. It's worth a retirement account, 2 houses, and your car! - My attorney Bernie. The fill is the orange stick in the picture. hoping that worked. George

First I would like to really thank everyone for their replies and advice. I thought it would be a snap to remove the skid plate and pinch the lines, but the guy who put it on must have really loved his job!!!! I will remove it when warm weather hits and I do not have to lay in the snow! Thanks...

Ok guys, fairly new to this forum, been reading a while but signed up today. Be nice to an old guy with more arthritis than he needs!! BX25 would not start, single digits are fairly rare in Northern Virginia.....and I'm an old generator guy! The fuel lines gelled pretty good, and I get the info...
