Hello
Got a Woods RM660 mowing deck from an auction. Turns out the shaft has a bad gear / broken cog in the gearbox. Looking around what makes a finish mower gearbox different from a brush hog? I see universal gear boxes, but they all say brush hog. A new Woods brand gear box far exceeds making it worth it. What are my repair options? Or do I have a 3 point paper weight?

My guess is the ratio, I am thinking a finish mower spins faster than a brush hog.
Have you checked for replacement parts? Or only sold as complete gear box?

From what I could find it looks like a 1.76-1 ratio gearbox. If the ratio was right or close enough and it fit, wouldnt matter what the gearbox was for.

does anyone know which gearbox might be used as substitute for a woods rd 8400 finishing mower gearbox?

Begin the task of calling farm equipment salvage yards in-state then out of state.
