Well after seeing all of the trouble that this little fan causes when broken I had a few made from NYLON thicker than stock and with a outer support ring to make the blades much stronger. What do you guys think? :cool:

Someone here milled theirs out of stainless. He said it chipped stuff that got into it. :)

Should have been made in 2 pieces so they can be installed with out tearing the whole tractor down .

Thank you for your suggestion can you tell me if all of the BX series of tractors share a commmon size HST driveshaft? If I were interested in selling a few of the ones in the picture what do you guys think is a fare price? Keep in mind I am not making thousands.

I like it!:thumbsup::thumbsup: I really like the outer ring. I never thought of having a ring on it, but I wonder if it cuts down on the air flow or does it does a turbo effect blowing? That new fan, if it doesn't lower the cooling efficiency, then I am all for replacing my fan with that. It would be safer too if a hand got too close.

Many pros here then con. :thumbsup:

Have you installed it on BX and tested?
How did you mill them?

As LBrown pointed out, it would be nice to be able to do fan replacements without a teardown of the BX. I could understand the complexcity of having a fully attached ring without splitting in 2. This leads to my next question- Have you thought about selling both kinds? one with ring in onee piece for those who want to do the proper full teardown and the other where you have it in 2 peices for fast repair for those who are less tool challenged (who us on TBN?!:D I doubt it but time is money)

I think you should contact Kubota and become a supplier!
