I didn't have one and a stick took all the blades off the hst fan. I bought mine from BXExpanded and have not had any more accidents. That fan is not fun to replace.
That’s the one I have and like it. Can’t use mid-PTO with it on.
Bro-tek makes a two-part one you can use the mid-PTO.
This is it sitting on my old chipper. On/off in a minute or two. Two ears in front rest on a supplied spacer and bolt, rear tabs hook to deck lift pins.
Thanks folks. Will order from BXpander. From looking at all of these, cannot us my belly mower as the PTO is covered. The mower protect underneath but winter duties with mower off I'll put it on.
Have the bxpanded and has worked well.
If you have to replace the fan there is a video where you drill one hole to gain access to the fan retainer bolt. Much easier than removing the engine as service manual recommends.
