BX25 hydraulic leak-control valve (manifold)

jwatt51 · May 28, 2011

I noticed hydraulic fluid under my tractor when it was on my trailer.It was dripping from under the floorboard,so I followed it to the hydraulic control valve (manifold) which is right below the battery box.After reading posts here on TBN,I called my dealer and brought it in for repairs.I told him I seen that on TBN there was a service bulletin issued for the problem and he showed it to me. He said he'll order all the new lines and o rings for it and install them. My tractor is still under warranty,so thats good.I guess it's quite a job to change out all the lines.If it wasn't for posts on TBN,I would have gone crazy looking for a loose conection or a broken line somewhere.

One reason I posted this was to let anyone know who owns a BX25 or any other model that falls under the service bulletin and is still under warranty,is to check for any leaks from the manifold and have it repaired while still under warranty.From what I was told at the dealer is that the ROPS have to come off,the floorboard has come off and the battery case has to come out,which has many other things attached to it.
