Dodge never, to my knowledge, had axle problems with the genII trucks. Their axles were Dana models. 60 or 44 in the front, 60, 70 80 or 80 hybrid (80 center with 70 shafts) in the rear on the 2500/3500's. They had and still have problems with their auto trannys (that's why I got the hand shaker :p ). The reason for the change to the American axles on the genIII (2003+) trucks was purely $$. They have since changed again. (I don't know to whom)<br>
<br>
Gm also buys American axles, but I don't know if they are owned by GM.<br>
<br>
BTW, Daimler/Chrysler now owns Detroit diesel, this is probably why GM bought the Isuzu diesel for thier trucks instead of a new Detroit.

If the motor is electronic (I think it is in 2000?) the old batteries may be your problem. Definately check them, they are surely at their end-of-life. Could be the source of a glowplug issue too.<br>
<br>
With only 125k I wouldn't think you have worn out the injectors, yet. My '86 VW had 240k before I had to replace those.<br>
<br>
Have you ever had fuel problems? How old is the fuel filter? Try putting a heavy dose of gravy (fuel service, etc.) in the fuel and see what that may do for injector build-up.

15w-40 is a little heavy. 10w-40 summer, 5w-30 winter I think is what was recomended for these.

I've got a 48" box-blade and have done some pretty heavy ripping with that. Tried it on the snow this weekend, and it worked good on that too (off pavement).

Tandem axle with brakes on both axles minimum. Try a tilt bed for the hauling. Make sure the trailer has enough GVW for your tractor, fuel, oil, FEL, Backhoe(?), and what ever tools you are going to haul.

What are you going to tow this with? Does it have enough GCVW? 1/2 ton trucks and SUV's need not apply for this rig.

Okay. I was assuming it was a GenII body, like mine, not the GenIII. You can now disreguard everything I've told you. I thought you had a solid front axle truck.

They're called "Rope Lights" and are available in the building supply stores. I think they are LED's in a flexible plastic tube. My buddy has blue ones permanently mounted on his house's eves, deck, railings, etc.

Look at my pictures for how the FEL and Snowblower work on my BX2230. Link below.

I agree that the front axle is usually where the brakes go, but if you think about it the rear would be better. <br>
<br>
When the brake activates, the whole axle will twist forward unloading the spring equalizer and lifting the axle which begins the bounce I explained on a different thread. If the brake was on the rear axle, the twist would unload the front axle which will load the rear axle holding it down during braking.

This motor is a "batteryless" EFI. One pull of the rope to charge capacitors to power the pump, the second pull should start it. The pump or capacitors are probably bad. I never owned one of these but know people who did. When they work, they're great. When they don't, they're expensive. :(

Where are the smaller tractors assembled (super-steers and the like)? Just wondering how my former employer is going to fare.

Best of luck to you guys.

BTW the old Case plant in Milwaukee burned down recently, so there's no going back to that one either.

I agree with unit5alive. I love my BX, but you need more than that. B7800 at least IMHO.

Groundbreaker X is the lightest. Any lighter, you need to use a hand shovel.

I just wanted to bump this string up to the top again.

I put away the grass equipment this past weekend and found that my FEL float detent won't hold. The tractor and FEL are kept in a warm garage (never below 40°) so there can be no freeze-up.

Art- is this a common problem? Is it a user serviceable item? I was going to do the 50hr service myself, but maybe it should go in for that, a couple minor leaks and the detent spring. Any thoughts??
