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.
