Those of you with 359C models be careful! Today I was running a flail mower on our forage field to top it for winter. Nice day, sunny, light north wind, temps around 45°F. Hit a fox dig out hole from the darn creatures tendency to dig up voles. Unknown to me, one of my flail flaps was stuck open, jammed up with dirt and grass. Flails picked up a rock and threw it towards the cab. All of a sudden the right hand door, which I had open for cooling the inner cab,
just blew up, shattered into thousands of tiny pieces. Not much got to me but wow did that freak me out! I now have to order a new door glass and weather strip, then figure out how to get the lock knob off, to remove the latch cover so I can get to the bolts for the lower hinge assembly and remove it. It will interesting to see how long it takes to get the parts. It would be nice if they had them in the factory in Georgia.
