Thanks dado. I have one coming from the manufacturer so I’ll be getting it swapped out.

Well, I gave it a few whacks with a hammer today then tightened the nut. After working for a bit longer, I got some more but since then it’s been pretty much solid. I guess the bolt has just been finding its home. Thanks for all the input guys!

It’s the Woodland Mills WG28. It has a slip clutch too. The taper bolt is on the end that connects to the grinder. I’m absolutely loving the grinder though!

Thanks for all the help guys! They didn’t publish a torque spec with it. I noticed today I didn’t get as much nut movement, which makes me think the tapered bolt wasn’t fully seated and I’ve been slowly pulling it in. In hindsight, I probably should have given it a few taps with a hammer to seat...

I actually found it after it came out. It’s so short that I can’t get a split ring lock washer on there. I got a nyloc nut and the end of the bolt sits flush with that when tightened. I’m nervous I’ll forget to check it routinely.

Thanks Spyder. Great point. Do you know if they’re standard diameter? I’ll have to remember to bring my micrometer out there next time to get a measurement.

Any other thoughts on this one?

Thanks ZZ!

Thanks! You’re talking about drilling the coupling so it’s a straight hole?

I just picked up a stump grinder that uses a conical bolt to secure the PTO shaft to the implement side. The shaft has a clutch so I don’t think it has a protective function like a shear pin. The nut backed out and it came apart. By some miracle, nothing broke and I found the bolt. I bought a...

Turns out Titan brands them as a R4 and they’re 6 ply so I should be fine. Mods, feel free to delete. Thanks

Thanks. Any chance you could let me know what type of terrain you use it on? Rocks, sticks, stumps, mud? Thanks again!

Looking at a Kubota L4802 with the Titan Trac Loader II tires (Kubota exclusive) on it and wondering what people know about them. I’ve always used R4 industrial tires for their puncture resistance because I’m out in the woods mostly and worry about little stumps, etc. The R4s have always worked...

Looking at a Kubota L4802 with these on it and wondering what people know about them. I’ve always used R4 industrial tires for their puncture resistance because I’m out in the woods mostly and worry about little stumps, etc. The R4s have always worked for me but I have a feeling it’ll cost me a...
