Got about 2 hours of good bushhogging done. Forced
to take a break
Anyone else ever break one of these blades? New shear bolt before I started and it didn’t break. Sadly, I don’t even know what I hit. Possibly metal fatigue at the mount point. An original blade, about 13 yo. I have a spare set, same age but never used.

Rest in Peace
Good news is always welcome.

Sounds good, Randy. Hope you get ahead of it.

Yes, on an old operating system, Windows XP. Never found out the exact culprit so that I could remedy it. Maybe bad memory? Something not seated well into the mother board? Go to computer management and look at the history and see if you can determine something causing it.
Glad to hear you got an appointment. Hope it gets better soon.
Did you get the key into the slot, so that the bolt could go all the way up? I've never seen that either. WOW, where did the broken piece go?
Trying to find a cheaper alternative to hydraulic cylinder rebuild kits than Deere offers..... Don't really want to rebuild them myself, but maybe at work one weekend...

Good evening all. 75F for the start, solid overcast, calm wind. Moderate wind with occasional serious gust, partial clearing midday, and a high temp of 89F. Rain not very likley until late Thursday night, then over the weekend. Bike ride to start the morning, trip to step daughters, trip up on the roof to clean out dryer vent, clean gutter tops. Then leaf pick up on the front porch. To finish walk the dog (dog sitting has resumed).
Randy good news, little surprised the doc didn'y start anti-virals as soon as the diagnosis was made. The sooner you start them the more effective they are.
David never broke a bush hog blade, would be interesting to see the broken edge. I would guess material fault allowed crack to start, then would not take near as much to finish it off.
RNG sounds like an interesting day at the BBQ.:licking:
Drew good luck with your mower project.
Buckeye glad to hear your cookout went well, nice to hear you wern't involved in an accident.
prayers for all.

I’ve never broke a blade , and I have run over concrete blocks, bricks, and a truck rim once. Made a lot of noise....

I didn’t take time to look for the rest of the blade just assume it’s where I stopped.
Break is pretty clean right at the bolt. I would blame abuse more than material fault.
As able to drop the pan assembly without too much effort, but I’ll be doggone if I’ve been able to free up the blade bolts. Of course my largest impact socket is 1 1/4, next regular socket is 1 1/2 and naturally the nut is 1 5/16. Just can’t seem to budge it with a box wrench even though the threads are clean, flooded with PB Blaster, liquid Wrench, heated... guess I’m just going to have to cut off. New bolts and nuts would be in order and I hope I can find some in town tomorrow else I’ll have to order. Likely will pick up appropriate impact socket too. Last time I had to special order Rhino wheel fork, hopefully the Kubota dealer or someone will have a suitable 7/8” alternative, seems a number of manufacturers use a keyed bolt.

Good morning all, 70 going to 88 with am fog. Hope to tinker with the lathe today. Worked on my quick change tool post yesterday and got it cleaned up and oiled. Working much better.
David, never broke a blade but bent one once. Cut a 3 foot groove in the deck in just a couple seconds. I think I have heard of broken blades going through the rear tractor tire.
Randy, prayers sent, shingles are rough, had them in my mouth and on my side.
Have a great day, prayers for all in need. Ed
