Why wouldn't it? Its not like Kubota makes the BX23, 24, 25 on a different frame than the 50 or 60 series of the same year. Can't imagine it.

Simple. If the older machines all took the old part number, look it up at Messick site, then all will accept the new part number.

Got a response today direct from Kubota

There was a change in the fan guard, there is a Serial Number break, the
new fan guard is slightly larger and will fit the older machines. There is
no provision to provide this for free, you can purchase it from your
dealer.

Part number for the new guard is K2681-21212

Kubota Customer Service

Emailed with Messicks today they don't show any in US warehouse.

That's sad. The older, skinny little old HST fan protector just wasn't much.

Hopefully, someone will actually get the new, new one from parts. Keep us informed. I wouldn't think anyone would get juiced over that old one. Yuk.

This again, is the new one.

They cost $180, I just ordered a front and rear combo along with steering protector.

I'm sending it back for refund. I sent them the part number for the new and was matched up with the old. Waste of time and money.

It may be time to go with the bro.

My B-T rear skid plate was about $180. I think that was shipped but can't recall for sure. Quite a bit more than the new Kubota plate, but also quite a bit more protection.

I can't get juiced over the new one either, just marginally better than the old, still see that little white plastic just waiting for a little twig to knock off all the blades. If I couldn't make one, I'd put that money toward purchasing some real protection for the fan.

I just recieved my bx1860 begining of Oct 2009. It does not have the hst fan protector. I wonder what gives? My engine was made Nov 2008. Someone had this tractor for awhile. I'm calling the dealer. Also my digital readout says 1850 when I start it. I'm starting think I got hosed. What do you guys think?
