Contact Larry Taylor Jr, Sherwin Williams. He's the protective coating specialist. He can steer you the right way. Did a floor coating for a senator's son at an old plantation. Worked very well. Mention Frog Level, he'll know.

The OP said himself that a 1:94 ratio box was available for his cutter. Some people run a regular cutter on 1000 pto with the engine rpm low. A regular cutter behind an old gas tractor, with higher engine rpm than diesel, same difference. Those cut faster. I mean them old round hooded...

If that dealer had a dated pic, which most pics nowadays are, with that hour meter reading those hours, at that time... If the dealer stated the hours, based on the information he had at the time... I'm not confluted, I'm two steps ahead of you. If this dude claims fraudulent BS on the...

Sold as is, where is, no warranty expressed or implied.

There's laws about not removing DO NOT REMOVE labels off of mattresses here too. Really laws for everything.

They've already got to him anyway. Ours has 500 hours and offered 26 for it. So to pay 30, and transport on a 1500 hour machine....

Maybe if you tie a hot air balloon to the trailer and try to tow that, it may be too little of a load.

It's not about whether I'm invested or not. I don't give a flying flip one way or the other. In fact, I wash my hands of this endeavor right now.

So, can he prove the hour meter was was broken upon initial receipt of advertised picture? Not, I don't think so. Can he prove it broke during shipment? No, I don't think so. Where is this "so called" court case all the uproar is about? So we CAN say the tractor has 1500 hours, but we can't...

Keep everything at riding lawnmower speed. No incidents here in 40 years of my brother and I snaking logs out with tractors and skidders.

Just pick the end of log up and drag. Forty years I've done that.

We haul ours on the cable. Drop them, drive forward, then winch back to the tractor. Logs don't slide by themselves.

I will advise to fix the meter and continue with your life, and enjoy your tractor.

Well, I have cut 4" thick plate with it, but I don't know how thick you need.

I can run the engine at lower speeds and get a good cut.

Slip clutch is nothing like an overrun clutch and has no similar qualities.

I stay away from def.

I quit acetylene decades ago. Use fish cooker/grill bottles and just buy oxygen.

Tanks that size will swap out anywhere.

You can't do anything, so don't bother. He can say it broke in transit, and it may have.

It's magical. Must be for sure.

Probably 1500 or so. I just checked on adding another set. Only have one now. Maybe even more, things keep going up.

Why don't you just leave them be and run some fuel injector cleaner? You can get them tested if it doesn't run at all.

Man, I won't sleep for two days knowing that. But I did mean the hand pumpers. I don't have any battery anything except flashlight and vehicle.

Grease guns get up to 3500 lbs of pressure. I had a D7 Cat and a grease gun is how you tighten the tracks. Just keep two wrenches handy and change hose ends. ALWAYS wear gloves. I've seen more than one fella in the hospital trying to save an arm because grease was shot under his skin on a...

You'll know you're close to tipping when the rear tire on the uphill side starts spinning. Provided you aren't in 4x4. Tilt meters only work on cranes. A tractor can be on so many different angles and it would be a different degree each time. Being 90° to the slope versus being angled...

Yep. Id just grind the repair on an angle so the tube won't see any corners can you get a liner for the rim ?

If it functions, it's a good price.

2 to 1 cuts better. If I'm looking at a cutter, if it ain't close to 2 to 1, meself will let it pass. That babe will cut grass like a lawn mower.

You doing all that and you have only a half a turn of slack to begin with?

Input shaft leaking, probably had a bearing problem. I have given gearboxes that size tee total heck. I mean the tractor on a 45 deg angle riding 3" trees over. Bunch of trees at a time. Still have that ole bush hog and it was a free gimme piece of skinned over junk when given to us when i...

My brother has a bell feller buncher. No covers over the spaghetti factory of hoses in the cab with him. He'll get a bath one day. He has the covers...

Hercules flat head engine.

I've got a 74 Ford too. Don't have a flat place on it. Solid dents all over. Bought it that way. Not any bad dents, but still it has dents. Bought it in 1992. 300 six, 4 speed, 4x4, no lift, no big tires, no options. Manual everything, not even a radio, no AC, just a heater. Even has...

Nothing but gear shuttle on this ponderosa. If it's a shuttle. Nothing but gear if it's a transmission. I fixed a hydraulic one once. It was way cheaper to go buy another tractor with a gear shuttle, swap the hydraulic out for the gear shuttle. Both tractors ran fine. Way less than half...

Yep, put in neutral, make sure it's running good. Kill it, put in gear, start it up and drive around with clutch pedal down. Ive probably got well over 50 vehicles with clutches in them. Only dealt with one stuck one, and it wasn't mine. Just put a hot battery in it, going to get brake...

I been seeing injector pump failure because of dry fuel. Add a little oil to your fuel.

I have a different brand. Mine, the warranty expired in Sep 2008, still going strong. In my vehicle right now.

I will have to look. It's 20 miles from me right now.

We break ours sometimes. Mainly because we haul too much and pull it with a Kenworth. I mean severely overloaded.

M105s, he may have a cab tractor.

And the load check could have a piece of trash in it. Five years ago we changed the lift piston ring on our 1979 Jap tractor. For over ten years it broke, disced, cultivated a 40 acre truck patch. Plus no telling how much bush hog work it did. Still gets used to this day.

Take a propane torch and heat the part it is threaded into. May have locktite on it and heat will release it. I'd tap it too.

Notice I'm in both pics, no braces outside the structure.

Put a wrench on it and tap wrench with a hammer. Just tap on it, don't beat the crap out of it.

Does it fall down while using it, or come down overnight? Not supposed to park it with lift up. Little neighbor kids tend to get under lifted things. But, if it leaks over time, show me a tractor that don't leak down.

We've got six tractors, since new, that use that type seal, oldest is a 1989. Replaced several, same instructions you have. Easy fix. Never messed up one. Probably didn't have any instructions, come to think of it. You've got to push the middle back in there on that rod so it don't pull...

FuEl injector cleaner.

Yeah, those chemicals move when it rains. Gets in the grass that the cows eat. Then you get all that manure to put on your garden, and it dies. I'm not a chemical fan.

Put a saw blade on it.

I've built many ICF homes, over a dozen. But, most people can't see it and go with wood because grandaddy used wood, I don't know. When you have a 12" top plate anchor bolted down and have your trusses strapped to that, you have a lot more sho-nuff hold on it then. I always put anchor bolts...

If building a house, studs are 92 5/8", two top plates, 3" , and treated plates are most always 1 5/8". So that's already 97 1/4", plus I always lap down on the foundation whether it's a slab or wood floor, 1" or so. Sheathing only catches the bottom top plate. So if cutting a 2x4 rafter...

I've changed all my tires for well over 20 years now. Tractors and all. I'm not talking about any little flower bed tractors either.

We'd frame them up. Plumb the framing. Brace it to the inside. Plywood every corner. Put 1/2" foam on every corner, and 1" foam on rest of wall. String the The walls and straighten them. we would truss, deck and felt that baby. That was for a brick house. On a siding house I would plywood...

My dad was a contractor and I've been out there getting my azz beat since I was in the second grade. Other than four years in the military, it's all I've done. I'm mid fifties now.

Framing is framing. Do your framing first, get your top on, get building in the dry.

Framing is framing. Birds mouth notches around top plate. Run sheathing to bottom of rafter. Cut 1 x 6 to go between rafter tails and lap over sheathing. So by what you're saying, put the finish on outside wall before you get it in the dry? Nope, never did that.

That's how they weld ends on hydraulic lines. At the new line making place.

Worse than that, we built it here at the shop.

At the steel mill, moved train cars for years with an 8N. I know, I bought the 8N from them. Lots of times we load the trailer and haul it out of woods with tractor.

Our 7,000# tractor weighs 14,500# empty, no plows. Makes life better.

Ive pulled 30,000 # of logs on a trailer with a tractor that size. Done it regularly. I had tandem dual axles but that don't matter. If I were you, I'd just be worried that the trailer will handle it, not the tractor.

How late ng a tractor will they fit? Sorry, had to type that. I do have a 510, and it's a good one.

Just go to harbor freight and buy a winch cable. Hook already on the eye. Or cut the hook off if you just want the eye. Been doing that for years. But I'd use chain for your purpose. Maybe a cable with two eyes, chain on one end.

Just cycle it. It's a normal thing.

So scientific. I have replaced many already. I never concern with pto speed. If the engine bogs, either drop a gear or give it rpm. You'll find that not running full speed pto saves hours on your tractor. I cut hay at 1600 rpm. If it's a little thick, I adjust my gearing. I ain't running...

Idler tension pulley, does it have the right spring?

Does it have an inline electric fuel pump?

Why can't you just cut the grass and kill the weeds? Pastures that aren't cut grow up in weeds and trees.

I would put bearing idler pulleys on the back side of the belt. Kubotas just have them two pegs sticking up. I've replaced many belts worn because those two pegs wore the belt from the back side. This is from working at Kubota. Keep oil in the gearbox too, be very attentive to that.

Why did you bore the engine? If you were able to remove the pistons from the top... I've never bored one. I mean I have rebuilt piles of them. Chevrolet engines always had a bunch of ring step and needed boring. I saw that at an early age, no gm for me. Never licensed one in my name...

He said it's thinner. Industrial things have copper gaskets. I'd try it myself.

Could take your old head gasket to a machine shop and they'll make you a new one out of copper.

Take the old seal out. Take it to a store. Say here, I need a new one just the same size as this Problem solved. I have replaced thousands. NEVER bought one from the manufacturer.

Yep, if it's not getting hot enough to seal that hole. Seen it happen before. I'm a field service guy with a truck with welding machine, compressor, crane, and tools.

I'd try a thermostat first. How old is the one in it now? Cheap, easy try.

We have overloaded the heck out of all our equipment since 1979. Just take care of it. Watch water level, keep things lubed. Should be fine. I say 1979 because that's the year we got our first diesel. Still have it, still use it, she's still fine.

If they are straight cut gears instead of helical, there's your noise.

An egg gathering machine out of a chicken house. Newer ones are dc variable speed, and plug into 110 ac. They pull a 600' conveyor loaded with eggs every day. Belt is 1200' total.

But you still have not checked push rods?

I have not been to a tire store in decades.

Did you change axle bearings again since it is still clunking?

Removed end caps or rod caps? If it was rod caps, you'd see the bearing problem right then. Are the Pistons turned the right way? Are the rod caps? I mark everything before I take it down. Are the rod caps on the rod they came off of?

I'm a firm believer in tubes. None of those problems with tubes.

If the bucket reaches max tilt before the cylinder reaches max stroke, may cause an incident. If they are real close to max for both, may be fine. I myself would make sure the bucket still has some movement when cylinder is extended.

Those engines have a little plate under flywheel. Gasket goes bad, loses vacuum, gets too much air, have to run on choke.

Cut the tube off 3/4" and be done with it. We use six tractors at the farm. None have bucket level indicators on them. Other farm I frequent has three loaders, no indicators. We load and haul 4-5 hundred loads of manure, truck loads, each season. As you can see, no indicators.

He said his was a "frost plug" block heater.

This is every day here lately. In SW AR. Humidity 97%.

Move slats in a chicken house. 4 clutchings per slat minimum. Have to move these slats to other side , clean this side, put slats back, put other side on top of this side, clean other side out, then put those slats back. Over 100 per side, four houses. Some farms have six houses. Never had...

If you show me a threaded freeze plug hole, I'll buy you a happy meal. How could it freeze and pop out if it's threaded?

Then weld something to it and pry it out.

I have a slew of David Bradley's that will say otherwise. The suburban tractor had cat 0 and had a cam over hand lift. It's a 1956 model.

Just stating fact.

You can call a rendering plant and they'll come cut them horses up with chainsaws and save you having to bother with the hay business.

I went up there in a 75 high boy and a 76 gooseneck horse trailer. Knocked around all summer. In some places, most places, mosquitoes will be touching each other all over you. They are ten times bigger than the ones here. I toted a 12 pump every step. Bears all over. When you get out of...

Yeah but if a Colorado may have tranny problems, I'd stay clear. I like the Colorado just because it's bigger. My 75 year old dad always drilled I our heads, little trucks are useless. Just get a half ton, any flavor you like. I just had a 1 ton flatbed, I drove easy, trying to break the 6...

I'd get a 1/2 ton truck. You can tow more, do more, carry more. There really isn't much gas mileage difference. I remember two people went to see their mother, five hours away. One was in a rice burner truck, one was in a 1/2 ton supercab. Both got 22 mpg, but who had less truck?

Something else, relatively easy to check, is if that ether bent any push rods. Last old tractor I handled had been ethered. Had 8 push rods. 6 we're bent 90° from ether. When they are bent that far, they don't make a tapping noise when it runs. I do have ether here on hand, but I use it to...

Maybe injection pump timing is off. But keep spraying ether. Maybe that will eventually repair it

I try to spread that same info. Seen a year old tractor ruined in one afternoon.

Lay it on something solid and smack all the way around the collar area.

Now you can spend more on a glass than it would cost to fix the AC.

18" stump? Track hoe will just pull those up. Stationary thumb or hydraulic thumb even better. They are 3,000 a month here to rent an old one he's got enough tractor to use the saved money to purchase an offset disc, tongue pull, with hydraulic wheels to lift it. They pull big offset discs...

Just fasten a chain aroun the trunk just above where you cut it, before you cut it. Cut the stump off. Be clear around stump because it may want to lay back down. Then when cutting limbs, only cut 3/4, don't try to cut them off. Let it ease itself down. Stay out from under main trunk...

Use the bubble stuff. I've used it for years and it's still good. On open sheds too. That shed over the pickup has bubble wrap insulation from years ago. The main shop has fiberglass vinyl roll and chicken wire under it.

With a diesel engine compression tester.

If it still runs, I would not go in the engine without a compression test.

Yes but you may be getting diesel in the oil. You mentioned oil level. Watch it for a while.

Well, if it's open center, where will the fluid go when you're not using the valve?

I put it in my diesel tank and burn it as fuel. Engine oils and hydraulic oils. Need me to change oil for you?

Looks great to me. I've spent many days cutting.

No, solenoids aren't too bad about leaking. It might have a paper gasket somewhere.

Our winch is 1995 model or so. Just replaced first cable this year. Cut thousands of acres with it. I wouldn't ever consider synthetic. Kinda like a sword fight. You want some chain mail or a froot of the loop T shirt ?

Synthetic on a front vehicle recover winch may be fine. Me, if I had a winch that didn't work, I'd put synthetic on it so I'd look bad azz. But I wouldn't waste synthetic on a winch that actually works.

We have one. Steel cable all the way. I don't think synthetic will last till the water gets hot

Purr haps you could check that balance.

You have to take starter off, then remove solenoid.

Just pack it full of lard and bananas.

I have split many of those. I'm kinda busy now. I'll get back. Can you get it to move at all, even just a bump if it switches forward or reverse? Does it make any clanging noise at bell housing area, when just idling?

They didn't say anything about it until all the kids were grown and married.

Yes uh huh. Front seal on injector pumps leak oil into engines every day, on diesels.

I'm sorry.

Every time I've seen things go bad it was never the driveshaft. If the driveshaft came loose, how could that stop the machine? Usually, but not always, after they spend a few grand, they'll make sure it's off all the time. Or, they take out the broke pieces and have a two wheel drive tractor.

They don't listen. I've said that from the get go.

Mail.

If they look good, no. Sometimes I don't if I don't get a new one.

50 bucks is cheap. You may search and find $49.99 somewhere, but $50.00 is as good as I'd ever expect. I've rebuilt thousands of cylinders.

And on old skid steers.

My dad has a belt drive on a large farm. Over fifty thousand animals. Had it since 2007. Averages 3500 miles a year. Pull 16' tandem axle trailers. Pull calves. Has a pile of tools in it always. Tool box across front of bed. If he needs to pull a 75 horse tractor a half mile to the shop...

The newest cab tractor puts out the smoke. The problem is diesel now days is too dry. Our smoke was royal blue. A pretty color of blue. About the color of old Ford engines, back when they were painted blue. If I change oil in a dozer or track hoe, get 15 gallons of used oil. Straight...

Ours put out a royal blue cloud. Looked like we were creating a thunderstorm. Every time we stopped to tie a bale and dump it. Cure is to put motor oil in your diesel fuel.

Lots of oilfield around here. Grade 10 chain is common. Grade 10 bolts are common. Same are also called grade 100.

He's talking about the pressure plate, not the clutch disc.

I'd put a grade 10 bolt in it before I'd fool with a slip clutch. We cut horrendous things with our machines. So bad I'll have two tractors chained together to drag the one cutting. Has gr 10 bolts in since 1995. I've had to repair the ears with the pins. Beef up some other things. Never...

Just take the plunger off the solenoid. Install it without. Back the idle down so it dies when you idle it down. Never liked more solenoids than are absolutely necessary.

There's a guy on here you can send it to and he'll rebuild it. The pump guy I think is his handle.

Why don't you just cut a six ft log and lay cross ways in front of trailer with a chain tied to center and run to rear. That and a push broom will clean your trailer every time. It will mostly clean that trailer out every time. It doesn't do too good with plain dirt.

I always use the three blade hone. Ball hone will work. I've wrapped a home with sand paper and trucked along just fine. That little engine, you just need a table. Use the same Pistons if they look fine. No welder is junk. You have to have a good running engine to get the welder right...

Don't believe the news. It's a made shortage.

Then use square bales. I mean, if you can't load them in the field, can't handle them at home...what's the point?

Valves look fine. Always lap them just enough to clean them up, and no more. I would get them Pistons out and replace the rings, hone it lightly, don't try to clean the cylinders up. Just hone it lightly. You don't know how bad it was before you got it. I just wouldn't get in it as far as...

I had one of them old gassers. Had to have a pair of pliers and a screwdriver in my pocket just to walk by it.

Or the governor is disconnected.

I don't know that one exactly, but I've tackled several gear boxes. Sounds like you have worn bearings or, you need some shims to tighten up the gear lash.

Southern-global.com Tracpartz.com

You could very easily have a broken ring. You can have a broken land. That is the raised part of piston between the rings. I have put kubotas together that looked way way worse than yours. Been running fine over ten years now. You can remove the valves and grind them yourself. You can pull...

Some have a slip clutch on the drive shaft right before the gear box. Some do not and just have a bolt, and male shaft and female shaft are round. Bolt is supposed to break if load gets too heavy. So, you do have one or the other. Have you checked oil in the gear box on mower?

We have a tiller, got it used in 1978. Used it every year. Believe me, it's had water in it many many times. Still works fine. Never taken apart. A few times we tilled a 40 with it. But later we only tilled the house garden and not the truck patch part.

Yes, but with them kinda odd starters it's hard to find a match. If you find a starter alternator shop, they may can order you a new one. But, these gals at the parts stores, if it ain't on the computer, that's it, we ain't got it.

My experience, with you being a Ford guy, Dodge will be fine for you. The thinking put into Dodge trucks is very similar to Ford and you will understand Dodge just fine.

This is very good advice.

You could also have a fuel restriction. Do you still have a glass fuel bowl under the tank with a fuel valve on it? Them things had a fine mesh screen up above the bowl, and it could be crudded up. Take the bowl off. The screen has rubber around it and is the gasket that seals the glass...

We used to have a Bolens. Wisconsin engine. Wrap a rope around it to start. I was just a kid and had a lot to mow. Most times I tried that Wisconsin and gave up. The Clinton engine on the Yazoo push mower always started. It was not self propelled either.

I've only seen 20 degrees on the Alaskan highway. You have an up draft carb on that. Carb, timing, points, and valves. I'll guess two of those ain't right. Leave the valves alone until you learn how to check them.

Can you get your fixed?

Factory parts may be hard to get, but I never buy factory parts. Gears are all you have to worry about. Keep it lubed. You can get bearings and U joints somewhere if you need them. We still use a bush hog that was a junky patched up thing given to my grandad in 1979. So, just keep it lubed...

Does the arm have to be folded down to operate? Controls have to be in neutral to start. Seat switch? Travel switch? Surely it won't start with travel depressed. Swing? There are more switches than you think.

It may be that all the safety switches are robbing enough voltage to keep solenoid from proper activation. Have you jumped it straight from battery?

Once, I didn't have anything to tie down with. Hauling a skid steer and a few attachments from homestead Florida to New Boston TX. Was no problem until I hit bossier city. This drunk gal came on from Benton road and had two merge lanes, but zipped right over in front of me. I was all over...

The only problem I've seen with dump trailers. They are usually high to the bed. Which makes a need for the ramps to be long. Bent every set of ramps on every dump trailer I've ever been around. And I go clean up hurricane damage, been from Florida keys to Houston, so I've been around the...

There should be some blocked off fittings down by the filter on the right side of tractor. Just in front of the filter. Kinda at front of passenger foot board. Some can just plumb in, some you will need a plate, or block bolted in there.

Yes, but his wife has cancer. Time to prioritize things and spend time helping her with her fight and not getting tied up in another fight.

I've poured slabs the way he wanted in his picture. You cannot let your screed board rest in one place at any time. It will leave a dip in the rocks when it is washed off. I also had a few bags of washed rocks handy and hand broadcast them over entire project while concrete was wet, just...

But they sure love selling that high priced oil to ya.

We have a hydraulic hose screwed in our drain with a valve on end of hose. Easy to get to. Barely crack it open during the day.

I shifted my 8n on the fly all the time. Like shifting an old Mack.

I have one of those that has a good pump. I bought it to take the gear shuttle out of it and replace the hydraulic shuttle in another tractor. You may have sheared a drive or maybe it's the pump itself. But, if it was working fine and then just stopped working, could be a smallerish problem...

If I had a nickel for every Kubota I've worked on, I'd be rich.

You had the no grades in your hand. No slashes means not 5 or 8. Usually 3 is five, five is 8 and six is 10. But I was almost wrong once before and this may be one of those close calls. Metric bolts have a decimal number on the top. Stick with SAE bolts. You need double nuts jammed...

It only costs more because Kubota oil doesn't foam. Which doesn't matter on a tractor. Now, a skid steer with a mulcher and high flow hydraulics is a different story. It needs a non foaming fluid.

I would not worry about it at all. Some machines use motor oil instead of hydraulic oil. Motor oil is a better grade of oil. Hydraulic oil is cheaper.

Ill hit one with a welder.cast won't hold as a wheel center. Maybe nodular cast, which is weldable and more along with cast steel.

I'd be easing into firewood. That's enough to get things started.

It may be for the thermodaculator. Did it come with thermonuclear protection?

Cast steel. Whole different animal.

Heavyquip in the little rock area.

I've hauled multiplied thousands of vehicles. I don't use any straps unless it's already old and greasy. I don't like getting clean ones oily. So, I use chains. I have cluster hooks for the frame holes, but I usually just tie on rear axle or rear arms If front wheel drive. I don't use...

Yes but train has little to no suspension. Totally different deal.

Well heck, for 19 bucks, it may can be fixed. It don't cock when I fold the barrel down. It doesn't set the trigger like it should. A rainy day project. My cousin's son gave me one of some other brand. It cocks and shoots, but has no sights. Only had a scope on the receiver. But it's so...

I had no idea what it cost new. I just know it looked expensive. As far as patience, I'm not a doctor, so we'll see how that goes.

Nope, the crossman is deadly. Maybe one of the power master 760, but only pump one time. I'm afraid some idjit will use one of those break open barrel, which can kill a deer. Last week I was at a gun store and was looking through the junk pile. Saw a Ruger .22 cal pellet gun for $19.00 as...

You might check at a hardware store. Nail gun oil can be bought in quarts. It is pneumatic oil. It's kinda like you can buy a pint of power steering oil for ten dollars, or a quart of auto matic transmission oil for three dollars. While the dipstick itself says either oil will work

20W oil is compressor oil. Red oil is 10W and motor oil is 30W, if you have to have 20W, why can't you mix those two oils. That is exactly what they do to make it. They use hydraulic oil before it gets dyed red. I've always mixed, never bought 20W oil.

You have to use the cheapest one that cocks. The ones you see the bb come out the barrel. The cocking bb pistols are better, easier to carry than a long gun. I am not a dog shooter. But, I've been shot with those guns and I have shot others with those guns. Never punctured the skin. Do not...

You wrote some things. But explain how I can be sitting on a tractor and lose my leg from a bush hog blade.

1.38:1, 1.68:1. Were J D ratios.

Yeah we have a pasture ten miles outside a small town, 300 people. A guy that lives in the edge of that town was at the pasture in his Kubota. Now, this guy moves drilling rigs, has 18:wheelers, track hoes, road graders, dozers, big swivel loaders. I said, dang, you drove that thing all the...

Now tell me how you can possibly lose a lower leg.

If it ain't two to one I'll pass on it. I've handled too many to put up with that.

I understand. If I was in that environment I would want something slow and growling with power. But if I have to ride ten miles to check a pasture of cattle, I do not want something slow and growling with power. Underground mines are less than 5% of atv sales. If Kubota didn't sell tractors...

Sounds like momma was going too fast.

Don't fight that all day. Just loosen or take nut off bottom and go cut grass with it. Blades will fall off. That's the way I do all of them.

I would weld it all day long.

For cash no ticket, out the door, they will.

Go to harbor freight like the rest of us do.

Hard to measure almost.

2:1 is ratio for bush hog. Cheap off brand cutters are 1.5:1

Ive thrown several blades. Every one was laying in the path I was cutting. Weld it up and keep going. Full pen only.

Yep, don't have to worry about going too fast.
