Just noticed the temp guage on my RTV runs about a needles width over halfway before the cooling fan comes on. Just wondering if I might have a defective guage or they have the new ones set up to run at a warmer temp. Put my hand on the radiator and coolant hoses and they are not that hot. Comparing it to the BX1800 I have which usually runs about a 1/4 on the guage. The RTV has under 10 hrs on it. Or is this the normal temp range they run. Down in Central Texas.

I have a BX 1800 and the fuel gauge seems to start bounceing around a lot.I can have a 1/2 tank of fuel and it will drop to empty and stay there a while and then it comes back up to 1/2.I thought it might be a bad connection on a wire but on the gauge they look good.I can't even find the sending unit on the tank.It only has about 198 hrs so its still under warranty.But I was just wandering if anybody with the BX series had any problems with the fuel guage?

I am not that familiar with your model. I have a 2146 with 38" cut. But if its like mine the spring that holds tension on the belt hooks into the lever that you release to take tension off the belt.I have a little over 100 hrs on mine.First belt was replaced around 80 hrs and then the second belt lasted only 20 hrs and broke again.So far this belt is still going.But when I first put it on and was burnishing in the belt it came off the pto.I found the pulley guard that is on one of the idler pulleys bent up from the pulley looked like it had to much clearance between the belt and was letting the belt come up off the pulley when the pto was engaged.I just took it off and bent it down were it rides closer to the pulley.So far it has not come off.If yours is like mine you have to twist the belt 1/4 turn when it comes off the pto pulley where it goes to the idler pulleys.Hope I did not confuse you more.You need to get the manuals for that mower and maybe a shop manual that goes in to more detail.

I put one of those Tiny Tachs on my BX1800 about a year ago and it works just fine.They have a transducer you clamp on one of the injector lines.Very simple to put on.Theres lots of fellows that have put them on by reading on other sites.

I bought one of those saeveral months ago and it works great.Looks like it is well built.I bought it to use on our garden and my daughter in laws.Once you use one of these you probably will not ever go back to a rear tine.I have it on my BX 1800 and by the time you cut the driveshaft it is pretty short.They told me it would be there on a certain date and it was.Very pleased with it.

On my BX 1800 I cut grass at 2800-3000 rpms which is about 3/4 throttle.I engage the pto at idle just like I do on my big tractor.It is enough of a shock at idle. I don't want to engage it at higher rpm.

I bought a MR 120 42" from CCM for my BX1800 and it works great.It should last me a long time just using it on our garden,well my daughter in laws too.850 + shipping and it was a lot cheaper than I could of got one from my Kubota dealer.The day he said it would be there it was there.

I bought one of those tillers from CCM too.I think its the 42" and I have it on a BX1800.After cutting the PTO shaft it is very short but it works.Tiller does a good job.And CCM had a good price on it and got it there when they said they would.
