Thanks Tim! 
IMO that is a much better bracket design than the older BX's. Looks beefy and doesn't have tension on it.
If that works, I bet bungee cords would be just fine on the older machines. I am on my 3rd BX23 (strap-style) bracket.

I was only going by the comment that the dealer made to me that it appears to be the BX2200 problem all over again. the bracket broke before the first oil clange was needed.

I broke mine several times before i modifyed it,and its held ever since.The problem is half the aircleaner is hooked solid to the tractor[intake] and the other is on a vibrating motor-stupid design.
If you look at my pic ,i welded up a simple iron assembly.One end hooks to a front bolt that holds the cowling on,the other end ,to the rear bolt that holds it on .The airfilter,is bolted solid to it ,so its not attached to the engine.You can whip up this easily in an hour,with no drilling or nothing on the tractor.Problem will be solved forever.

The new BX air filter brackets are much stronger,I have replaced several on BX tractors and have not had any complaints and don't think they are that expensive.

Cost isn't an issue. This is the laterst model, new tractor and still under warranty. Just would prefer to have things work properly and not have to perform quality control and actually use warranty for repairs. I hope that the next time is the charm......

I just replaced one for a friend and the bracket was a new and improved model. The mount that bolts on to the engine is thicker and the strap is different.
