    PINE logs anyone?

    I would take those in a minute, again too far from you to be practical I presume. I am in the Texas Hill Country and our 'trees' are bushes compared to those. They would be great for landscaping, like for a retaining wall for a back-filled flat spot on a slope. It would be attention grabbing...

    Side mount rotary mower gearbox - need a source

    So I have a Woods MD160-1 60" rotary mower (made in the year 2000) with a destroyed gearbox; it is not serviceable. I can get a new Woods gearbox for it but they are quite expensive, about $1200 as priced from two different suppliers. So I am looking for other options. This Woods gearbox is...

    Woods MD-160 gearbox destruction

    So... yeah... I pulled the top cover off and found this... This gearbox assembly should be lubricated with butter because it's toast.

    Woods MD-160 gearbox destruction

    Here is what the gearbox looks like. It is a brute, although apparently not indestructible.

    Woods MD-160 gearbox destruction

    So I have a small (big) problem with my Woods MD-160 shredder. I am 99% sure the gearbox assembly is broken. Or put another way, the bottom half of the housing has cracked off, leaving the output shaft to wobble freely. This means that all of the gear oil drained out of the bottom while it was...

    Shredder repair - Fix or trash

    Update - I found a 5' shredder locally in good condition at a decent price so I bought that instead. It's a Woods MD-160 and is built like a freaking tank. It weighs over 800 lbs which is pretty heavy for a 5' model. It looks exactly like this one (from another post). I'm going to be all...

    Shredder repair - Fix or trash

    I agree. If the gearbox output shaft is bent then I will not try to save it. I have the unit up on jackstands so I can pull the blades off, and the stump jumper, and check the output shaft for runout. I might be able to use the driveline from my finishing mower for testing but I'll have to...

    Shredder repair - Fix or trash

    So I have a 5' shredder that a friend of mine gave to me that had been sitting on his property. I have no idea what brand it is but it is orange (sort of). It needs work so I have been dissecting it to determine what is OK, and what needs to be replaced. There are pictures attached below. Here...

    Simple tire seal trick

    So I just picked up a new tractor and wanted to get tire sealant in it immediately. I'm using PTO/FEL for ballast and will not be filling the tires. So I picked up three gallons of Multi-Seal 2500 HD at the local John Deere dealer. The going rate, even online, is $60+ a gallon but it's worth it...

    Kioti CK2610 price check

    OK I am about to purchase a 2020 CK2610HST with the 4030 FEL (quick attach) in Texas at $18,200 with the 6-year 0% financing deal. The Kioti dealer is adding in a floor mat as well, minor but it will be nice to have. Seems like a reasonable price from calling around, and also shopping Kubota...
