Motor info for a 425 "Brush Cutter"

[FFC_Fencing]

We lost a 48" brush cutter for a 425 in a fire. I think we can save it with some new wheels and a new motor. Can anyone tell me what the specs are for that motor? I realize that Power-trac needs to make a living too, but I can't justify spending double the cost of an off the shelf motor just to buy it from them. Any Help would be appreciated...

Sorry about your loss.

Several years ago, someone replaced one, and I believe it was a 3 cu in Danfoss motor.

Found the post.

If we have the same Danfoss motor the one on my 48" brush cutter is a Danfoss 151-2121 Series DH-50. I have not looked up the specs but this comes off the label on the top of the motor. I bought mine 1 year ago. I had to replace the original motor under warranty. The new motor was not painted black so the label is still legible. When my unit arrived the first motor ran for about 5 mins. Terry sent me a replacement and I returned the original.

Bummer on the fire. Hope everyone is O.K.

Thanks guys! I've been away from the forum for quite some time. I was glad to see JJ still available to answer questions. It is obvious that the reduction in facial hair did not reduce his wisdom.

The fire took a large barn and indoor arena at a customer's place where we had cleared some lines for a fence. Luckily our big equipment was left outside that night. Three skidsteers of other contractors had been left in the barn and were a total loss. The fire was traced to a bucket of rags that had been used for staining the stall fronts. (the barn had a bar, shower, etc...very nice)

People do not realize that these rags can self combust - throwing them in a pail of water outside or an oil rag safety can (picked one up that someone was throwing out) is not a bad way to go.
