Anyone know of a place online that I can order parts for a Ford brush hog? I had a brush hog given to me, but I need to repair/replace the gearbox on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Some of Ford's rotary cutters are OEM'd by KingKutter..., but gearboxes are used by many mfrs... should be a label on your gearbox to id it... most popular is probably "OMNI"...

Get some names and numbers and what parts you think you need and I'll try to help with some pricing/diagrams/sources/etc... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Thanks, John. I found one of your past posts on the OMNI gearbox.

So, I went and checked out the OMNI website, and it sure looks to be the same product.

I looked at the gearbox yesterday (it's next door at my grandpa's), and 1 number on it was "5A19". There was a second number, much longer though, and didn't bring anything to write it down on.

The part I know is shot is #13 from the diagram<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=implement&Number=119702&page=&view=&sb=&o=&vc=1> omni parts breakdown </A>

I am wondering though, what else is missing. My grandpa took the box apart, and left it open, in the rain for about 1 year. It's a bit rusty on the inside, so I wonder if it would be worth fixing.

I'll get some more #'s off the gearbox and cutter this weekend.

Re: Ford 951 brush hog parts-gearbox info

Hi Greg,

Well I'm told this unit was mfr. between '84-87, and the gearbox is by BMB... I had never heard of...

I don't know exactly what parts you need, but NH said the output gearshaft is about $240. by itself... but you can buy the entire gearbox complete with shipping for about $264.

The NH dealer on board seems to have an excellent price for $243. for the entire gearbox.

You may want to look at the OMNI 40 hp gearbox used on a number of rotary cutters... the price is about $150 complete... but I don't know if the output shaft spline is the same as your current one...

$150 sounds much better than $243, but $243 is still a lot less than a new 6ft. medium duty brush hog.

Would I just count the spline's on the shaft to see if it was the same?

Well... that's some of it... but you also have to have the same diameter, and the same pitch... etc. etc.

The OMNI 40 HP gearbox is a "regular duty" unit... not medium duty... I believe the "peak" hp rating is 60 hp for the OMNI... so your JD4300 won't damage it... /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

Before you commit yourself, have your blade pan off (keep the blades attached) and you can see if the OMNI shaft will fit. If you plan on upgrading the tractor later, you may want to bite the bullet and just get the Ford gearbox and not fiddle around with anything...
