thank you for the video…safety first and the tractor rotery mower I inherited had a broke shield . you atleaste saved 1 life …greg
Should have 2 chains on it, one at each end…
very nice and understandable thank;s to the both of you gent's''
What about when the shaft won't slide, why no grease to aide in sliding and when storing it tries to seize. Or wont slide easily.
I was going to jump in the lake over this tks
hey, Roll Tide bud : )
You have to grease the male and female parts of the shaft. There are many different mechanisms to attach the bell end and plastic bearing. This was specific to one manufacturer. The plastic zerg fitting breaks frequently, so unfortunately you do have to take it apart all the time to manually grease the plastic bearing. I agree that the shields should be used. They reduce, but they do not eliminate the possibility of your clothes getting caught, pulling you in and spinning you around till you die. A much better plan is to never get close to the shaft, cover or not, and never touch the shaft with the tractor engine running. You still need the cover because you never know when working in the field when you might trip and fall into the spinning shaft even when you were trying very hard not to. The safest thing is to turn the tractor engine off if you get up out of the tractor seat, but that gets impractical pretty quick.
Great video. Thank you! I recently “inherited” a mower deck and was a bit confused by the sheild installation. Your video illustrates clearly that I’m missing a couple key components that allow the sheild to function. Thanks again. Appreciate it greatly!
