KK chain guard

[hosejockey2002]

I considered making chain guards for my 42" Howse brush mower. But when I factored in the cost of material, cutting the chain and making the 100 or so 1"by 5/8" slots in 1/4" thick angle iron, I paid the $150 to have front and rear chain guards delivered to my front door. I suppose it would be easier to weld the chains on, but I thought the $150 was a pretty fair price.

Would bolting a thick rubber flap to the rear of the bushhog where the chain go work? I was thinking of doing this with some 1/2" thick rubber I had laying around. I thought it would be better than nothing.

Try Howse Implements themselves... the front chain guards/mount assembly for a 6' cutter is ~~ $60-70. plus freight... versus fiddling around trying to make them individually...

You can order them direct from KingKutter or one of their dealers such as TSC...

But... somehow I vaguely remember them to be rather pricy... I suggested Howse because they will work and the price was actually a bargain... (You may have to modify a few holes on the mount...)
