LORDY, LORDY, LORDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its not ready to become a boat anchor in any form.
You are missing knive hangers and grass slicers and that is
the only problem.
This problem with vibration is a "no problem" type of repair.
Until you can get grass slicers and new hangers you can do the following to
continue using it IF desired.
Please do the following repair exactly as I tell you to do it if you need to
continue using the flail mower.
On the flail mower rotor you will find a knive hanger which is opposite the
hanger that is missing or has broken or missing knives.
Remove the hanger and knives opposite the missing knives-hangers etc., and
this will bring the rotor back into balance for you.
Remove the hanger that has missing grass slicers. Remove the hanger and
knives opposite this one to maintain a balanced rotor.
This way you can safely use the flail mower without damaging it.
You will have rooster tails in the lawn or brush until you replace the knives
and hangers that are missing or damaged.
You can go back over thses areas to mow down the rooster tails if desired.
Be sure to purchase the replacement nylock nuts or use red loctite for the
knive hangers. Its a good idea to replace the hex bolts with Hex head cap
screws being "Allen Bolts" as it will save you many bashed fingers and your
allotment of &*()(*&^%$%^&*(*&^%$ words. :thumbsup:
