BX ready for 50 hr checkup

[Anonymous Poster]

I just finished my 50 hr maintenance a few weeks ago and checked the strainer to find extra metal filings. I’d suggest taking one of those extension pickup magnets about the size of a pencil to insert in the open strainer hole to collect the extra metal that doesn’t stick to the strainer.

By the way – great job on the ROPS mod and thanks a bunch for the picture. Perhaps you will show your work at the PA Farm Show next January.

Well, we got our BX back after the initial free service. They really did a great job. The mechanic told me it took the 3 quarts instead of the 2.6 or whatever mentioned in the book. They washed the entire machine. The fuel guage problem was fixed as well. Ours was newer than the TSB serial #'s listed for the fuel guage problem. They put the newer part in but said it looked like the "float wasn't in the proper spot" and thus giving the false reading. So we ended up getting a full tank of fuel as well.

These BX's are tough....the mechanic said the BX is his favorite little tractor...he also said that the steering mechanism is much like the "larger tractors".
