Bought a used 600+ hours BX1500 a couple of weeks ago. When I checked it the oil was way below the dip stick in the front. Told Steve Barlow about it after I had the mechanic fill it. Mechanic said he had filled it before setting it out. Also the battery was dead and a new battery was installed. Also the mowing deck sounded loud so I asked that it be checked and bearings were replaced.
Took BX to SIL home. He mowed, loves it!!! As do Grands.:) Oil leaked out of front on to floor. Took back to Barlows for new seal. I was concerned former owner drove it dry. I asked main master mechanic who did repair about gears. He said they looked fine. He said almost any level of oil will keep them OK.
