Bx steering wheel.

Hi, Im a new member as of today. I have a bx2350 and have a problem of the steering wheel being too far away to reach. I noticed that on the new BX2370 they changed the steering wheel so that it's at least 2 inches taller. Took my steering wheel to the kubota dealership and put it on a 2370 and it fit so i ordered one.

Should work for you.I think the steering wheel on the 70 series is higher because the new seat is also higher.

Good thinking! :welcome: to TBN!

Good adaptation! And welcome to TBN. There is often a lot of continuity in the design between various Kubota models (and other makes likewise). Ag and construction manufacturers seem to have more "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" thinking than auto manufacturers.

Steering wheel made an improvement. I also moved
The seat farther forward by drilling holes on the bracket that the seat adjustment rails bolt to. What an improvement! I can steer by grabbing the top of the wheel as opposed to barely being able to touch it with fingertips. Clearance from bottom of steering wheel to seat back is 17".

Will post more pics of seat bracket modifications.

That deep wheel sure looks like an improvement, got a ballpark figure on price, if not too much I'll do the mod to mine.

With tax, shipping, and handling. $84.00. Price quoted by parts dept was $64.00.
