Have to chuckle just a bit, the bat wing over at the farm has had a couple of issues and one gear box is acting up now. It's an older Woods with some very convoluted gearboxs and slip clutches. The gearboxs have a solid inner shaft that passes the power through the gearbox and then hollow outer shafts that drive the bevel gears. Had a yoke on one of the wings spread and allow the u-joint to pop out. Repaired that once and it held for a while and then it spread again. So today was cutting the yoke off the shaft and we will order a new yoke and weld it back on the shaft. Only brush hog that I can recall that had the wing slip clutchs on the "rear" of the gearboxes.
