Just a quick BX improvement

[escavader]

Probably aint worth posting,but makes life alot easier.How many of you that have the grill gaurds hate laying on your back to hold the nuts to un install it? When you want to to remove the side panels and nose it needs to be removed.Ithought it would be SO much easier if the nuts were welded on the frame so all you had to do is back out the allen cap screws.SO i unhooked the negative battery terminal first [IMPORTANT]then removed the bolts one by one to un install the lock washers[I put the washers on the bolt side now] tightened it all up,reached down in there with my mig and tacked them all in good shape.Its gonna be a heck of alot easier now -no more laying on my back trying to hold a wrench on them.Just thought id share this simple modification.

looks like a post worthy mod to me.. nice job !!

Thank you. Sometimes the simplest things are best! Hmmm, since I don't weld, I wonder if epoxy or super glue might work?

I too was frustrated but i reversed the bolts. Used an impact gun to remove the nuts. Not sure why kubota went with the allen wrench in the front. sure it looks cooler but not practical.

I have thought about doing this too. I wish Kubota would have made these guards fold able would be a lot less of a hassle.
