Tried to find a category that fits. This was my best guess. I have a Zareba 1 joule charger that is 12 years old or so. Been used sparingly. On a full battery charge the output checked at the terminals has dropped by 65-70%. Was wondering if this was normal failure mode and if anyone had seen...
Thought I would share this. Got the hose off this morning. No problem actually. Had a new hose made up locally. I told the folks there what my problem was around the hose bearing against the steel floor pan. They sold me some neat hose guards to try. The hose was also showing signs of wear where...
Good call. After starting it for a few seconds I could hear the leak due to the air in the lines. I popped the cab up and was able to see oil running down the pan. The hose busted on bottom side where it was pressed against the pan. I had a torn a tendon on my right middle finger which was...
Yes sir. Did the other side a few years back. Wasn’t easy. I do like knowing what is wrong so I can get started getting it back going instead of searching for the problem.
Found the leak. Left drive motor hyd hose. It was in a 90 degree bend and pressed against the belly pan. I couldn’t get my hand under it when I was feeling for a rupture. Not an easy fix but in the grand scheme of things it could have been worse.
The replacement gearbox itself is not a bad price at around $475 from Woods. The parts to rebuild will get close to that as I have to replace everything but the shafts. The problem is the crossbar and blade attachment hardware that has to be replaced is another $600.
I replaced a hose to right hand drive early on. Less than 900 hours. Chafed on window through belly pan to drive motor. Just bugs me that I can’t find this one. I will get it. All the suggestions are appreciated.
We heard the pop while my son was bumping the left control stick in forward direction at idle. I was prying the track up onto the forward idler. Immediately heard gushing of oil in the pan. I have felt all the hoses I can access for exactly what was mentioned. The machine is in the mud. In the...
Yes sir. Going to try easiest path first. I can lower cab and crank it over briefly, raise cab and look. If nothing else it will probably eliminate some areas. Hard to believe I can’t see whatever busted. It drained the entire reservoir in a minute. We did hear a loud pop so I know it is...
I have had that suggested. I am not well versed on the interlocks in the hydraulic system that prevents any function from working until parking brake is disengaged. I was going to use a remote start button and try to spin the motor with cab up. Just don’t want it to mov because the control...
I am trying to locate a major hyd leak on this machine. It dumped all the hyd fluid out in the belly pan and after raising cab I can’t find a busted hose or fitting. Any suggestions on how to t-shoot? The only thing I know to do is fill reservoir and lower cab in order to spin the motor hoping...
I have a older Woods rotary mower. My gearbox is toast. Anyone rebuilt one of these? I need gears, seals and bearings. My gearbox assy has been superseded with a new one from Woods. I have to buy a new gearbox, crossbar and blade pins in order to replace it. It also has slower blade speed than...
Makes perfect sense. I ran lexan on my dirt cars in the day and it mars up at the least touch. High water content. I was going to use a small square at head level to hide behind. I understand exactly.
