I just ordered the chains for the same Woods cutter. I paid $240 but my local dealer is higher than others outside of my area. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Thanks henro now i have an idea of what OEM is. i think i can make that happen no problem. probably gonna be a fall project though.


i am estimating about $100 bucks to build it.

I have the BB72 and noticed it does that a little bit too. Finally realized it was because the weight of the mower was not on the wheel and it was just doing what it wanted. However when the weight is on it, it turns as necessary.

Nice looking mower Bill! Them chain guards are spiffy. Sure would look nice on mine... /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I found that I had to lengthen my top link when using my BB60.I have a lot of uneven ground to mow and I noticed the back end would lift up in the air all the time.The only trouble is with the top link extended to keep the back down I have no transport height.If I go across the brook to the other field I have to get off and shorten the top link.Kind of a pain in the rear. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Hmmmmm........

Sounds like a perfect candidate for an upgrade to a hydraulic top link! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I had some problems with transport and lift height too and ended up moving the lift pins to the lower holes in the front of the mower. Get a lot better lift now but can still lower it to where I need it.

I was wondering if it would make that much of a difference dropping the lift pins to the lower holes.I may have to give it a try.

Won't that cause the front to lift even higher.As it is with the top link extended the front comes up quite a bit to the point of the front of the deck hitting the PTO shaft.I wouldn't want it to go any higher and bend the shaft.

I also noticed the exact same thing. If I set the top link to get the pivoting bracket in postion to give equal up and down motion range at the rear I have no transport height.

I found myself thinking "it would be nice to have a hydraulic top link..."

I may also try lowering those bottom pins and see what happens...

From what I can see the tail wheel pivots real well.

It made a big difference on mine. I've even experimented with the lift arms (vertical arms connected to the horizontal 3pt arms). Mine have two holes at the bottom. Using the upper holes will also give you greater lift.

It may lift the front higher if you don't adjust the toplink. I just readjusted averything and it was fine.
