3" over 2 1/2" from edge of fender. Appreciate the advice. Having the same issue. I'm having to replace the boots also however. Hope you have invested in a good pair of snap ring pliers for the next time and when you need boots. I would like to add the 3 1/2" distance from the locking screw shaft does work however anyone that only wants one hole and perfect alignment to the bolt 3" over and 2 1/2" from fender lip is perfect.

I bought the BXPanded under armour for $309.00 Canadian. Gives me the peace of mind when I am in the bush. I enjoyed the video as it was very instructional. I have watched Tyler's videos before and found them very informative also. Take care from Petawawa, Ontario. PS: the bugs are crazy up here.

I have a question about the under armor…. Does it have to be removed to put the MMM on? I thought I heard that and I don’t want added steps for the mower setup.

@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead The under armour comes off in about 10 seconds. You use the mower levers to raise it up. I do not have a mower so I do not need to remove it. When I put the snow blower on I will have to remove it. It has two bolts that you attach to two holes that are already in the frame. The bolts are for the plate to go onto and then you hook the mower levers to the back of the plate, which has two holes in it. If you look at some of the videos on the BXexpanded under armour installation it will be come clear as to what I am saying.

I just replaced my broken fan and your video was a big help. Took about two hours with removing both snap rings. I drilled an 1 1/4 hole at 3 1/2 inches over and it worked perfectly. A rubber plug and it looks factory. Thanks again

Perfect job. I purchased the BXpanded under armour and it arrived before my BX did. Glad I have it. I also saw 3D printer plans for a split fan that allows for easier replacement, but I don't trust 3D filament for long term exposure to elements. Thanks for sharing. Great how to.

There`s nothing worse than taking your tractor or automobile somewhere to have it worked on, and they put some jackwagon on the job that doesn`t care about your tractor or automobile. Several times my vehicles have come back to me worse running condition than when i took them in to be repaired. Lucky for you, (and myself), you can do your own work.

Hi Lucas Great job getting the fan replacement handled. I'm curious have you seen the lift setup that "Tractor Time With Tim" has. He has cross panels that connect to his lift arms, then you just drive the tractor wheels onto the front & rear arms. It supports the entire tractor by the wheels and should work for any width or length tractor . You sould be able to get that type of setup for your lift. Tim has a two post lift too. They use that system for lawn mowers, UTV's, Golf Carts, tractors, etc. The part/ assembly you want is called the "Turf Rail" that adapts to many brands of 2 post lifts. Tim's video I think is called: Need a lift ? - Taking Johnny to New Heights. Thanks again for posting this video. Dan

For something to easy to break, there is no excuse for it being so difficult to access and change. That’s the only complaint I ever had about my BX when I owned it. Other than that it was an awesome little tractor.
