Changing HST fan on BX2200

[commander]

I caught a limb last fall and sheared off the blades on the HST cooling fan on the BX2200 I bought last summer. Planning on changing it myself this spring. Any advise? I think I own the tools necessary and have some mechanical aptitude. I bought the shop manual and have looked at it briefly, didn't find it as helpfull as I would have liked. Should I expect to have to move either the engine or the transmission?

This is a great resource, I've spent many hours just reading the questions and replies. Thanks in advance

you should be able to remove the couplers from each end of the driveshaft to remove it. At most, unbolting and sliding the engine forward will help.

Didn't want to post this in the Kubota board?

Do a search, as there are good TBN threads on changing out the fan.

The BX2200 & BX23 have alot of commonality.
