Does anyone use a cover for the mid PTO on BX23? I removed the MMM for the first time and noticed the PTO is unprotected. Rear PTO has a nice cap/cover. Dealer said they weren't aware of any covers available from Kubota. Any help is appreciated.

I wondered the same thing a couple years ago when I got my B2910.

It seems that covers for mid PTOs are not common. Best recommendation when I asked was to put some grease on it to protect it from surface rust, if that is a concern to you.

Apparently there is no cover because it is tucked up out of the way and it is unlikely that one would get something tangled in it...

Here's the PTO cover that I use when my MMM is off the tractor.

Milkman,

My goal is to make one at least that nice for my BX...

I would consider it a filter/plastic fan cover though, more than a PTO cover... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

On re-reading what I said, I can now see how I get in trouble with the wife sometimes! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

What I was trying to say is that I might at least try to make one that nice...with no certainty of success... /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

That is nice work Milkman, I did not mean to imply anything less... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Possibly you should start drinking Milk instead of Beer.... might clear out the cobwebs of the typing/thinking skills and you would be typing/saying what you are thinking......Oh heck... forget that idea.

Gentlemen,
Thank you for your replies. I was able to cover the Mid-PTO with the corner cut from a plastic shopping bag secured by none other than duct-tape. kind of like a condom with suspenders. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Kind of crude fix but it seems to keep it safe. Practice safe Tractoring. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
