Hey, Folks
Newbie here to the site. I have just recently been using a Caldwell Challenger 5' rotary cutter attached to a MF TO-35. I ran over a rock and now the blades do not spin. The PTO shaft is spinning to the power head on the cutter. Not sure if the output shaft is spinning. Is there a shear pin that I am not aware of? I looked at the parts diagram to the cutter and see no pins to shear. I believe that there is a over-cutter coupler between the shaft and the input shaft. Can that be the source of the problem?
Also, I have acquired a "Bush Hog" ATH72 finish mower. The lower seal needed replacing. I first "googled" for any information on repairing the unit and found nothing. I removed the gear box from the cutter and decided to pry the seal out with a screw driver. Got it out and found that I had damaged the bearing just below it. BUMMER! Any thoughts how to remove the bearing without damaging anything else?
Thanks for any suggestions!
