It covers modifying a Kubota BX23S fan to fit by drilling new bolt holes, wrestling the drive shaft back onto the HST splines, and re-torquing everything, ending with a startup test. Useful for owners doing the actual repair themselves, not a quick overview.
Posted by the DadCanDoThat channel, an owner working through his own tractor repair rather than a dealer or professional mechanic.
Line up the two fans, mark the holes, and drill an eighth inch extension using a 5/16 inch bit, using the broken original fan as a pilot guide.
The replacement fan was designed to rotate clockwise, but the broken fan from the 2205 and the Kubota fan both needed to rotate counterclockwise.
Pushing the shaft too far makes the bolt holes not line up with only spline visible, requiring pulling the shaft back with a hammer claw and wiggling it into place.
The entire project could be done in under an hour if you have the correct parts to begin with.
