Broken Seat Bbracket

rlsmith · Apr 25, 2013

Well my BX23 is taking a break so I can pull the broken bracket that the seat hinges on, one side broke off right at the bolt. Well it looks like not to much of a problem if all I have to remove is the floor board an if I don't have to pull the fuel tank. Ordered part for $40 and should be here tomorrow. Anything I should know before I get started?

Well had to remove platform, drain fuel tank, removed roll bar that allowed me to raise the fuel tank and fenders enough to be able to slide the old one out and slide the new one in. 6 hours of work with minimum tools. Then while I was at it cleaned up all the levers actions and switches. Changed the oils and filters and cleaned the hst screen. Then put it back to work...rototilled two large gardens took off that and put on the BH an FEL and leveled a dirt pill.

Oh man,that's a lot of work to fix a bracket. :-( Hope that doesn't happen too often.
