The video is hands-on and honest, covering the $25 parts cost, a borrowed trick of drilling an access hole, snap-ring struggles, socket extensions, and a plastic-in-socket bolt-retention tip. Best for BX owners wanting a real DIY repair walkthrough, warts and all.
An owner-operator channel run by hobby homesteaders sharing their own hands-on projects, mistakes included, no dealership or commercial affiliation evident.
The owner fixed it for a total of twenty-five dollars, seventeen dollars for the fan and about eight dollars for an assortment of grommets.
A 12mm socket, extensions, a quarter inch and three-eighths inch drive ratchet, a bar or tool to hold the engine from turning, and plastic to hold the bolt in the socket.
The owner ran his tractor for an unknown amount of time with no fins and noticed steam and warmth from the hydraulic system, but had no confirmed damage yet.
He taped plastic from the fan packaging around the socket so the bolt stayed seated and could be pulled up out of the hole without falling.
