Good afternoon all!
Having some trouble with our sickle bar mower and hoping for some clues as to what might be happening with it.
It is a GS2401 old style series Superior aka Gribaldi*(pre 1994) mower. It works fine at any RPM with tractor at a standstill, but as soon as you start driving and mowing the bolt connecting the blade head of the guard bar to the power head strips off. This occurs in a matter of a few feet. It has even warped the blade head due to the shearing forces.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this?
Thanks!
