Oil & Fuel B2630 Fuel Filter Guard

I like it. Putting that on my tractor to do list.

I want one! I have a new B3030 and the first thing I noticed was the vulnerability of the fuel filter. Seriously, what would you charge me to make one?

This weekend I will investigate the possability of making a few of these up. Stay tuned

The first time I hooked up the brush cutter on my B2910, I knocked the filter loose enough to start leaking. Went straight to the shop and built a guard. I don't understand Kubota's decison about the location at all. I didn't realize they hadn't fixed that with the 2630/3030 model.

Good job Gomer!!!!

Yeah, I'd say you've just gotten yourself started with some side work.
I think that's how BroTech got started. Keep up the ideas & fabrication, and pretty soon you may need your own web page.

Well I was looking for a job when I got the one I've got now.

Impressive concept and followthrough.

The original is made out of 11 guage but I have some 14 guage that I have cutout and will mock up tomorrow too see if it is sturdy enough, so.. I will let you all know here when I have them available. will snap some pics and post of the process if I remember.

Great! I am definitely interested in one. Likely with the bend, it would be strong enough.

I am installing 2 hooks on my FEL tomorrow. Using a channel along the entire top edge to back them up so I don't end up bending the bucket.

Finished the 14 guage prototype here are some pics. Feels pretty strong and will definately deflect debris, won't stop bullets like the 10 guage one would but I don't think anyone has that problem.
I bent the curve on a break but I think a roller would work better so I am going to see if I can find one to use. I should have them ready next weekend. More details to follow.

These should fit any B2630 or 3030 with a FEL, I am not sure of any other models.
