 Topic: Bush hogging
Posted: 05 Apr 2012 at 12:47pm |
Got some bush hogging done today. Same old bush hog my grandpa ran for almost 30 years. Went and asked the guy if he still had it, said yup even has a new shaft on it now. She's taken quite a beating over the past 30 years and is a little un balanced but still cuts like she always has.
one of the many holes the blades have knocked into the deck. Offerd to get the welder out and patch it but he said they'ed just do it again.

I believe the crank and rods may be out of a 17 as well.

Better not be anybody standing around it in the first place! I hollered at mom a year or two ago when she was standing behind me and I didn't realize it until I turned my head. all it takes is one rock or fence post and dead... hit a saw blade last fall, stuck it in the side of the barn

Thats not something normally done...that would involve custom work if it would work at all. Plus you would be losing power.

Any number of people would likely trade you the 160 parts you have for 226 parts.

Yea, I can fix that.....

Not mine, and he said just leave it be. if it were mine I would, but like I said, not mine to touch.

160 blocks are worth far more than 226 blocks, 226 blocks are everywhere.
