MMM & skidplate

[Tdog]

I installed a Bro-tek skidplate on my BX-22 a few days ago. I was worried about how easily I could attach the MMM to the PTO with the skidplate in place. I've done it twice now, so it can be done - - but for me it is much harder with the skidplate. Both installing & removing it. I can see where someone with flexible and strong enough hands & wrists would be better at it. Does anyone have any tricks here?

Kinda in the same boat as you. I have bought the Bro-Tek skid plates, but haven't installed then yet on a Bx2350.

Had to have my achilles tendon repaired and re-attached which kinda slowed me down. But I'll be getting the plates on in a couple of weeks and would appreciate any advice.

Thanks!

Thanx tomm - - however, the note your refer to on p. 8 is for the front [extension] skid plate. In fact that is why I did not order the front skid plate. The original [rear] skidplate has a removable plate that allows the MMM drive shaft to attach to the PTO. That's the place the logo "Bro-Tek" is painted.
