Followed your lead and all went well, still intact after some serious landscaping using backhoe, thanks for video.

Thanks for the video, best of all is that you now have a template if you ever have to replace it again.

Why Kubota made a plastic fan is beyond me, but your idea is a great one, especially when you think about going through all the steps to R&R a broken fan, then go out and bust up another one, only to have to do the job all over again. Thanks for the short cut will use if and when my fan goes south on me.

Great idea ! Hope this works out for sure. They should have designed a two piece unit mount like this as easily as the fan blades are destroyed. Have a Blessed Day

Thanks for your positive feedback

Good to see your video upload was a success. Great fixer upper !

Thanks for this video, I’ve an earlier version of the BX25 so the easier fan replacement strategies that don’t involve moving the engine don’t work. I was happy to see this suggestion and so far it’s worked well. One comment - the fan I bought, which corresponded to that specified in the Kubota manual, was slightly larger than the original. That, coupled with the fact that it is installed on the outside of the original rotor, meant that it risked hitting the metal lines which run right by the blades. Therefore I removed about 1/4” from each of the blades and recontoured them back to the original shape.

Thanks , I wanted to believe there might be another alternative approach worth trying if that happens to my tractor!

I love your ingenuity. I have a bx25D and need to replace the fan. I have spent hours trying to come up with a shortcut.....I will give yours a try.. Proud to be your 2nd subscriber

You are welcome!

Thank you I will be doing that and then the bxpanded heavy duty guard

I should be #9 now. I like it, will be going this route here shortly. Just went through the move engine etc. earlier this year only to drive over something a couple weeks ago hauling my granddaughter's deer out of the woods and didn't see anything but sure as hell heard the noise. Just got my fan yesterday and might just try rivets. Kudo's-

Excellent

Brilliant...you saved me so much time .

That's brilliant. I don't have the room like you on my BX 2380 but I am going to give it a go. Subbed and liked.

Talk about a Mickey Mouse job 😂 I have a bx and I do my research when I buy something and the first thing it told me was get a fan guard as soon as you get it.

Genus.

I just did the same thing with a 2018 BX2380, cut the fan in half and screwed on. Why you would make a $10, vulnerable, critical part that is likely to get hit in such a way that it costs a $1000 to replace, that exposed, $10 part, I don't understand.

How about put an electric rad fun

How is it now? Still holding?
