BX25-D Fuel Filter Conversion.

I installed my filter behind the loader bracket yesterday.

Jeff, Do you have better pics of the fabricated bracket. Having trouble seeing what it is mounted to.
I like this location much better than others I have seen outside the bonnet. I also like the use of the shut off valve making this a tool-less job. thank you for posting

I made up a custom bracket/guard for a much nicer filter when I owned the BX25. I used scrap steel to make a bracket that bolted to the frame using factory bolts. I bolted the filter and the guard to the bracket.

There are lots of ways to do this and do it well. This was how I did it, and I even made up special bolts to zip tie the hoses to the frame.

I like the extra protection with this method.
the location under the running board seems to make a little more sense after looking at mine. it could easily be hung from the two spots for carriage bolts from above. I would want a plate underneath for protection though. either way it seems wise to add guarding.
