100 hour maintenance

[BruceS_55]

There are some items on the 100 hour maintenance checklist for my 2515H that I don't understand. Does anyone know what the engine breed pipe is? I'm supposed to check it. Also, what is the steering wheel hose? Is it some kind of power steering fluid hose?

I don't know, but you better put on "protection" before you start.

Not sure what it is referencing, but besides the major 50h service chassis lube and general check hoses, nuts and bolts and fluids goes as far as maintenance schedule in user manual should be sufficient.

Does it refer to a crankcase breather tube? Just checking it isn't blocked up?

My assumption for steer wheel pipe is just check your power steering hydralic lines.

I wonder if @Asteral could clear up any confusion. He is pretty knowledgeable about the models formerly labeled Branson.

As for the "breed" pipe, it's probably a misprint but I'm not sure what it should be.

 

[paulsharvey]

It's the crankcase breather. Just make sure the tube/pipe isn't clogged by debris.

Chinese, and some early Japanese, translations are often amusing.

The worst one I remember said to "clean out the cock with a stiff brush". Had to do with the radiator on a Nissan Patrol.

My dealer salesman told that since I’m a do it yourselfer type that I should consider spending the $400 on a factory shop manual.

Even at that crazy inflated price it would be a time and money saver. If you haven't already bought it, I would look around for a searchable pdf shop manual. I found one for my Kubota for around $20.
I paid like $200 for a shop manual for my previous Kubota, and the Kubota dealer did a poor copy machine job and put it in a dollar store binder.

Probably but sometimes it’s worth spending the money for good print.

Yeah I’d like to see one of their shop manuals before I bought one.
I just hate PDF manuals…..I guess I’m old school.

You can get the service manual for the Bad Boy 4025 which is the same exact tractor as the Branson/TYM 2515. You can download the manual straight from the Bad Boy website.
