I searched this forum and didn't find this problem.
The Grab Handle on the right side of my BX 1850 stripped off at the rear bolt. I suppose I use it too much when on hilly area or rough ground.
Asked the dealer and they had seen the issue before, the "nut" that's molded into the rear of the handle came loose. They said to just epoxy it back in and rebolt it.
When I got it out/off, I noticed that the nut doesn't have much beef around it, it's kind of a round bolt with a little tread around it.
Anybody else have this problem? Any other fix procedures?
Thanks!

Note to self: The Mighty TC18 would have never failed on this!
Fit and finish was better on my old New Holland too. I do realize that I'm comparing a subcompact to a compact.

That same thing has happened on a few BX's I worked on. One side is a little over $20 to replace so I never wasted time trying to epoxy it back in. Be sure to order the decals as they don't come with the handle. Let us know if you find a sure fix.
