Plastic Floor Support Brackett

[Rob18530]

Ho everyone. My first post here, hope I can get some guidance. I own a BX2370, under the front floor board, drivers left side, is a plastic bracket that supports the front floor pan. The one on mybtractor is cracked and the front floor plan moves if you step any place near this area.

Can anyone help me with a way toneither fix this or cam ot be replaced with a steel brace? Looking at it, I'm really surprised plastic was used here.

I'm surprised as well. Obviously it is bolted to tractor so I'd weld up a replacement to bolt in it's place. If you don't have a welder maybe you can remove it and have someone use it as a pattern for building one from metal.

Is the part you are describing in one of these pictures?

M135XX os the part. Looks like a structure for the entire front floor pan.

Plastic!@@

That is NOT a part number. It is a figure number in the illustrated parts list shon here

i think you need a center pillar K2581-57213 (ouch at about $475)

I'm trying to figure out some way of bracing the cracked peice. Not sure how successful I'll be. $475.00, plus the time in tearing everything down to get a new Center Pilar in... any thoughts?

JB weld. Or maybe a metal bracket to reinforce the plastic junk. A chunk of all tread placed in a series of holes drilled though a half dozen or so of the plastic webs with washers and nuts snugged up on each side of each web. Support it in a different manner entirely with a self made bracket that bolts to the plastic junk. Probably 100 other ways to do something that would keep the majority of $475 in your pocket.

I'll take some pics of the repair once I get it done.

Good. And it will probably be better than OEM in functionality.
