old JD rotor cutter(bush hog)

[ddivinia]

Darin,
You are full of such good news

I have a Miller Trailblazer about 10 to 11 years old with the 20 hp Onan engine. Are you saying that parts or the engine is no longer available? Did he try Cummins for parts? I just checked and the machine has 590 hours on it and I am not ready to replace the whole thing if something happens.

Called Cummins, Onan - all of them.

I need this engine:

Onan P216/P220 Engine

Model # P216G-I/11359G

I am glad I have a Kohler in my Miller Bobcat. I have to say - I would be really pissed at Miller.

Depending on how much you use it, etc - you might want to ditch it while it is still running. It gets worse. Re-engining it is not that simple. Needs an adapter, etc - UGLY.

I take it you didn't buy the John Deere blades?

No,the local welding shop had some aftermarket blades for less then half of what JD wanted.

Did you rebalance them after having to cut them?

No,I kw I should of,but I just took off about 3/8".I did try it out not cutting and there was no vibration.The old blades I pulled of was way different in sides.Heck,they were well worn out.The clipper was given to me when I bought the tractor.

I did cut for about 6 hours the other day without any problems and today I have another 4-5 hours cutting.Its time to start looking for a bigger cutter and tractor too! For years,my place was used to run cows on by other family menbers and they got out of that.From there,I had been planting pecan trees by the hundreds,cutting old and new roads/drainage ditches.Just in one year,I put well over 300 hours running time on my tractor and this is not even my job.Oh,it did cut into my fishing time big time.I love to offshore fish and I did tell my Mom I just about had enough of farming.LOL!

That is a lot of mowing. How big is your place you are mowing?
