I made both front and rear protection plates for our BX23 from 3/4 inch plywood and a couple of bed frames that I have been happy with. I would think the same ideas would work on a BX2660. I am real busy until a few days after Christmas but then if you are interested I would be glad to post some pictures.

i can not locate it on there web site listing for 2660
It's brand new, they don't have it on the web site yet, give them a call.

I built mine before his came out... it IS sweet though. I like the air holes that are "baffled" for lack of a better description. Air can get in, but a stick will be thwarted.
Edit: I just checked, and here is where I first saw it:

what are the front pins locking into. don't recall any holes in that area but i have not had a chance to get under there to get closer look
these ideas are what i had in mind, i've got plating and expanded metal so either is possible, i assume you got the extra pins from tsc or did they come from dealer.

There is 2 holes up there, they are just a hair under 1/2". I used 1/2" pins that are spring loaded and can lock open just like the mower deck has. It goes up and down with the tractor hyd. and when you set the mower knob to top and drop the 3pt, it comes down a little, then it is about 1/4" from the frame.

Yes. It's designed to allow airflow while still preventing sticks and such from getting to the fragile HST cooling fan.

That looks sweet... how much do they run?

Great piece of protection. Is anyone aware of similar shielding for the Cub-Yanmar SC2400?

Harry at BXpanded may not respond to your question. He posted in a different thread that he doesn't want to post prices here on TBN because his prices may need to change from time to time. If someone does a search on this thread two years from now, they may expect the prices to be the same but because the cost of metal went up, he had to change his prices. Give him a call and he will be more than happy to speak with you.
