Holy Crap! I just looked at the arse end of my BX and dat ain't supposed to be cracked like dat. I wonder how that happened??? :confused3: Was the PTO hooked up and engaged?
That was my first thought also.... Mine is out in the barn and can't look at it to see exactly how it is made right now.
2nd thought was a possible straight up manufacturing defect.
Curious - How old is the machine and how many hrs?
