Description by pintodeluxe.
I discovered that on my Bx2230 with a 54" MMM, if you remove the rear gauge wheels, and turn the 5/8" axle-bolts to face inward you can mount a striper with very minimal effort. Use sealed ball bearings with 5/8" bore and 1 3/4" o.d.(EBAY). Tap the bearings into a 47" length of 2" o.d. tube (1/8" thick walls so the tube i.d. is 1 3/4"), and mount to the stock gauge wheel supports.
Otherwise, try my modified rear frame mount striper for use with a Kubota baggerI built one as a rear frame mount for my Bx2230. It raises and lowers with the deck, and produces uniform striping.
I needed a lawn striper that was compatable with the bagger on my Kubota Bx 2230. I started with an Arnold universal striper (Craigslist or Ebay), and welded an angle iron to it. From there I used "L" brackets to attach the striper frame to 3/16" x 1.25" flat stock. Rectangular 1" x 2" stock was used to brace and stiffen the flat stock. I then mounted straight brackets to the tractor frame to accept the striper. Straight and "L" brackets are from Home Depot electrical department (by the superstrut stock). They come pre-drilled with 1/2" holes. I made some custom lift arms from 3/4" cold rolled steel and flat stock. These mimick the factory lift arms, however need to be longer than stock to raise and lower the striper.

FAQ's
- Does the striper increase the overall length of the tractor?
No. The striper tucks neatly under the bagger. - Are the rollers separated so the outer roller can spin faster to avoid turf damage while turning?
Yes. - What gives the striper its weight?
The rollers are sand-filled. - Does the striper interfere with the bagger or interfere with the bagger stands?
No. The striper is designed to work with the bagger. - How does the striper mount to the tractor?
With four clevis pins. Two to the frame brackets, and two to the TPH lifts. - How much did it cost to build?
Around $100 including $25 for the Arnold universal striping kit (Craigslist or Ebay), angle iron, flat stock, cold rolled steel, brackets, bolts, clevis pins, and sand. I already had the 1" x 2" rectangular stock.
