Does this exist - BX Hydro Filter "Armor"

[QCTEXAS]

I found this picture on another site posted 22 years ago by a BX tractor owner. Does such a piece of filter armor exist for purchase or was this a DIY project?



I know about BXpanded Armor - I own it in fact. But managed to puncture my hydro filter while mowing.

Thanks!

You can tell by also added accessory of duct tape on the mid PTO shaft.

Wildfire maybe ?

It wouldn't be hard to find a local fabricator who could make one.

My first thought as well.

Mid-mount driveshaft coupler may not has enough room with that setup.

This(#010) HST fan cover, is on my 2018 BX23S....only $30 in Canada..seems to work OK.. I loosen top 2 bolts, remove the 2 lower, swing it down for easier access to change filter. That 'stout' homemade unit would have to come off (?) and cost more that the OEM cover.

I installed a skid plate, that protects the hydraulic filter and the HST fan. There are a few vendors of these, including TractorAttachments, BXpanded and Bro-tek (Canadian, which I have). However, some will work with the MMM, others will not.
The Bro-Tek allows a plate that can be removed, to allow the mid-PTO/shaft to operate, like with a front mounted snowblower, while still covering the filter and fan.
