It also tacks on unrelated updates: wheel spacers, a borrowed BX42S chipper test, and a $499 clearance brush mower. Useful for BX23S owners wanting real numbers on a DIY service, not a polished tutorial.
An owner-operator sharing casual, unpolished hands-on footage from his own BX23S maintenance and attachment experiments.
The owner added a little over three and a half quarts, which brought the level to just over full before topping the filter.
After the filter makes contact, turn it three-fifths of a turn, which the owner says is roughly 216 degrees.
The owner used the backhoe stabilizers to lift the tractor, noting a jack stand or safety support should be used since hydraulics alone should not be trusted.
It is a small retainer held by a 12-millimeter headed bolt, removed with a flat blade screwdriver to pry it out.
