BX Transmission Strainer Bolt Size

Will_C · Jul 27, 2003

It seems hard to believe, but it almost time to do the 600 hour service on my tractor. I was wondering if anyone knows the bolt head size for the hydraulic fluid strainer that is located on the left side of the tractor? I used an adjustable wrench for the 50 and 300 hour services, but I want to buy the right sized wrench for this time. Thanks,
Will

Gosh, 50 views and no answer? The TBN brain trust must be on vacation /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I had to use a cresent wrench when I changed the oil on my BX1800 to.I did not have any metric sizes that big.I guess I will have to measure it and get me one.You will probably find out what size it is before I get this done. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I will take a guess as I just went out to see what wrenches I had to try and tell you. My 1" wrench is too small, my 1 1/16" is too big. My 27mm seems a little to loose as well.

So my guess is it is 26mm which of course I do not have. Of course that figures as I am ready to do my 50hr service, so I guess I will also be using a cresent wrench or going out and purchasing a set with a 26mm.

I also checked the manual quick and didn't see anything to tell the size but didn't go into detail as I just ran home quickly for lunch and have to get back to the office.

Good luck,

Randy, Thanks alot. I will try my wrenches the same as you did (I have some new tools that I have not used /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif.) If I don't have a 26mm, it will be off to see if Sears has any loose stock. I really want to use the proper wrench, as the bolt was very difficult to remove at 300 hours.
