About needed a new set of britches when this this blew up today. I didn’t hear the mower hit a rock, I was just buzzing along & KABOOM!!!



Then on the last pass I heard the mower it something. I turned around & looked. I pulled this out of the tarp. Glad that prig didn’t come thru the window.

I'd *s-word myself if I was in that seat! Glad nothing hit you or anyone else.

Wow! Time for some expanded metal on that side.

Dang Jim at least you had a little good luck after the bad. That’s why I always try to have my safety sunglasses on, in this job you never know when a piece of equipment is going to be a jerk and try to throw a rock at your head.

Found nothing. Usually when we can't find a kit we take it to a local hydraulic shop and they can measure it and put together a kit.

I'll have to do that I suppose.

Had some weather. Messed up 80 acres with irrigation.

Had a tree come through my wall last night. Not too bad. But a royal pain.

That's what we do here. Happy to help. Kits often don't fit...by size is the best.

I’ve found it’s almost the same price. I rarely rebuild them myself anymore. Last one I got a kit for was 120$. Might have spent 150$ getting a local shop to do it. I was kinda done after that. The kit was from a case dealer. So maybe you could find it cheaper but I’m not an ace at all those fine specifics.

Is it maybe some type of ditcher/trencher for planting something or making a drainage ditch on flat ground ?

I can’t like either of those posts. Hopefully that corn at least partially stands back up, never mind after a better look that appears to be hail damage. That sucks. The tree thru your house is a chitty deal also luckily it wasn’t worse.

We buy and sell seals for Pennies on the dollar compared to OEM kits, just like saw bearings and seals.
