BX2350 Metal Fender

[Pepsiboy]

I have read somewhere here that there is a metal fender available for the BX2350. True or false, I don't know. My closest Kubota dealer has just changed hands, and the new owners are not very helpful with parts. (Just like to sit behind the counter and BS.)

I would like to know IF there is a metal fender available for the BX2350, what the Kubota part number is for it, and what SHOULD be the cost?

I'm just tired of all the plastic cracking and breaking with age.

Thanks, in advance for any and all help with this.

Well, I guess nobody here has heard of this, OR it does not exist. I must have misread the article about it.

Dave, I think you were having one of those dreams that you wish was true when you wake up!!

OK, maybe I was wrong. Maybe it was for another BX model, like the BX25, or one of the BX26xx series.

Russell,

Thanks, but I'm looking for the REAR fender in metal for the BX.

Did you ever find a source for metal fenders? I have reached out to a few metal fabricators asking if they could fab one, but no responses.

Even though you have a BX2350. Just go to the Kubota dealer and tell them that you need to replace the fender on your BX2370. The only part that won't fit is the floor. It needs to be for a BX2360.

The BX2350 is the same "Tin" work as the BX2360. The BX2350 parts are not worth buying or fixing.
Go find or purchase the Hood (Bonnet) from a BX2360,BX2370,BX2660, or BX2670 they will all fit. You must use the new mounting bracket that came with the newer hood. Head lights are the same. I had to grind a little on the BX2350's bracket that was on the tractor a bit.
Go find or purchase the Rear fender from a BX2360,BX2370,BX2660, or BX2670 they will all fit. The bolts in the handles may not come out easily. I finally put an impact on them to remove and "JB-welded" new inserts in the holes.
Go find or purchase the Plateform under your feet from a BX2360 or BX2660 they will both fit. The Brake pedal is on the wrong side of the BX2370. Or cut a hole if you find a free or cheap one.
There are 2 little silver brackets that mount to the radiator that keep the metal hood from rubbing on the lower bonnet, I bought those as well.
My BX2350 has a BX2360 plateform, BX24D hood, BX2670 rear fender. Every 5 years the plastic gets brittle and falls off. I got the hood for free because it had a bullet hole in it.

Ollie,

Thanks for the reply about the "metal" fenders. I have tried that with my local dealer. They "insist" on having the serial number before looking up parts. I would go to another dealer, BUT, the next closest one is over 1 1/2 hours away, and they will not talk over the phone UNLESS the tractor was purchased from THEM.

I declare that you are now working on a bx2360 serial number 52055. Now go buy what you need.
My parts guy is actually helpful.
Too bad your's wants you to buy a BX2680 instead of bothering him.
You can now order from messicks.

I have a BX2350D and finally replaced the junk plastic fender with a metal one. I bought mine online at Coleman's Equipment (https://www.colemanequip.com/parts/details/KubotaParts/KIT-FENDER/K2651-95523/). part number: #K2651-95523. It took me a day to disassemble and reassemble the machine. The fender fit, but it took a little persuasion. The only thing that doesn't fit is the cigarette lighter / aux power. It's a clip-in designed specifically for thickness of the plastic. It won't clip in the metal. I'm replacing with a screw-type. Good luck!
