@@papawsplace I welded a new floor onto the deck a few years ago and covered the access hole to the nut on top of the cutting blades. Otherwise I could’ve accessed through there and not had to takeoff the stump jumper.
I got the same bush hog. Only way I got mine off was by leaving the nut screwed off to the tip so I don’t mess my splines up. I took a bottle jack and wrapped a chain around the stump jumper bringing it out around the bottom of the bottle jack. Just be careful when really cranking the jack down. A lot of pressure on the tip of that jack and nut. Can slip off with a lot of force hitting you. But it works every time.
Morning bud , wish I was there to help, ours has a hole in the top , to be able to get to the bolt head, but it sure is nice to have three hands ! Good Video !

I have 2 of those howse bush hogs I have a 3-inch hole behind the gearbox I can take the blades off with an impact wrench and put back on in about 25 minutes it will save you,r back you have always given me good information just thought I would help you out have a great week. They cut the hoes in the deck when I bought the mowers I have to sharpen my blades about 3 times a year have some ruff ground.
I've got to change my gear box on mine and will have to take the stump jumper off like you. When I put it back I will use anti-seize on the splines so hopefully it will come off easier next time.
Couldn’t tell in the video but if there’s one large hole near the gear box, top side, you can access the blade nuts. With the mower blocked up you can use a jack to hold the bolt and blade in place while putting the nut back on. With the socket in the access hole, the stump jumper won’t turn.
I was surprised that that little 24v uga duga got that crown nut off the old weed whacker 9000, I was sure you would have had to hitch up that truck of yours to a pry bar to get that bad boy off. Just noticed the name on your tractor, we had mahindra jeeps over here at one point. Real interesting stuff buddy thank you and I hope you share the secret behind that oil of yours at some point. You please take care stay safe and God bless buddy
Well, whatever works for you and is safe, so you avoid injury or worse.🤕 Farmers always have to be resourcefull in order to deal with all sorts of issues, and often without having all the best options available, seems that is part of the attraction of living on the land, the diverse challenges and the satisfaction of overcoming such challenges and seeing crops and animals growing - and knowing you are more self-reliant than the majoriety of people who are clustered up in the world's cities and crowded places without space to grow much, if anything at all, and with little practical skills like farmer's all must poses! - After all, it is the worlds farmers that feed most of the worlds people. 🙄 ❤ 💕 !!! And modern society tend to forget that very fact as most non-farmers are so caught up in their lives many even look down on farmers - the very farmers without whom they would NOT even be able to survive.! - Kind of ironic. 🤔 !!!
I notice every video on working on these brushhogs, or old tractors... the parts look new, with fresh paint. Like your Stump Jumper does,, as tho put on recently from a shop, and then people are videoing taking them apart... for example, when you say "all these parts been on here for years.." and they are rust free, not bent, freshly painted and come off WAAYY more easily than if it was used in a field for 20 years... doesn't even have rotary (circle) scratching or gouging on the disk. And no grass build up. Further, teaching people to double arm baseball swing a 3 pound hammer into the bottom of a relatively unsecured BrushHog, is a good way to die a Bad death.
Sir. There is nothing new on this bush hog but the shaft . This bush hog is in good shape for it's age because I take care of it. I try not to cut trees and jump stumps. I cut grass most of the time. It's no rust because I use it weekly and clean it when I'm done. It is bent up on the back portion, been welded and repainted twice due to backing up while bush hogging. Can't really see how it's unsecure chained to the tractor. Hope you have a blessed day..God Bless! Matthew 7:12
They are rust free and clean because constant use doesn’t allow rust to form on the parts just like on a lawnmower. Moreover he stated and showed it at the end that he had the mower chained securely to the front end loader. And the right penetrating oil can make a big difference in how quickly you can break the parts free.
Great video. Really helped me as I was replacing blades on my 40+ year old bush hog rotary cutter. Thank ya!!
You are welcome and Thank you for the comment.

Glad to be of help and thanks for the views and comments.

I'll keep that in mind but I'm hoping I never have to change them again.
@papawsplace I have a 6 ft Howe, go in thru the hole in the top.

Bill if that nut would not have came off, mine would have had a hole in the top. LOL😁
Fantastic work!
Thanks a lot!

That would work. I've seen people do that to get the wheel off of lawn mowers that was frozen up.

Yea if that stump jumper would not have came off I was getting the torch out and cutting me a hole. In hind sight I should have anyways.
You can put an extension on the impact ranch they come right off I put that stuff on them makes them spin right off. have a great week.
I've got to change my gear box on mine and will have to take the stump jumper off like you. When I put it back I will use anti-seize on the splines so hopefully it will come off easier next time.
Yes sir, I was surprised this one came off as easy as it did. It's been on there 25 years..LOL
The patent for the Zerk fitting was granted to Oscar U. Zerk in January 1929, and the assignee was the Alemite Manufacturing Corporation.
👍👍
That was a Pearl button bangle Billy!
😂
Nice video. Thanks for the tips
Glad to be of help. Thanks for commenting!
Fantastic video
Thank you much!
Good video, you are the only person who has resolved my doubts by repairing the cutter. I just have a doubt, What size is the crown type nut?
Wish I could help you out but that was so long ago I don't remember the size.
@@papawsplace Don't worry, I already have the measurement of the size of the nut. Nut size is 1 1/2" inches
Learn about the "SMOKE WRENCH". Saves a lot of time on your knees at the altar on Sunday. 😉
I didn't have one at the time but on your knees at the altar is a good place to be
You are a great person
Thank you Sir.

no hole in this older cutter.
Enjoyed the video.
Thank You Mr. Perry.
Nice video, how do you spell the "name" you called grease points? Thanks Dan
Alemite Google it.
Then next time you go in a parts house ask for one just to see if they know what they selling. 😂😂 Thanks for that Question Mr. Dan.

I was a little surprised myself that nut came off the easy. The mahindra tractor has been in the US since 1994 I believe it was.
When are y'all going to do that video on your penetrating oil ? I don't want to miss that one.
It will be coming soon. Thanks for reminding me.
thank you so much
You are welcome. Thanks for commenting.
What’s the recipe for the penetrating oil?
I'll have to do a video on it.
Never zee is the only way to go for next time 😊
Yes Sir, that would have been the thing to do.
Well, whatever works for you and is safe, so you avoid injury or worse.🤕

amazing tips thanks for sharing
Thank You!
If the gearbox didn’t leak it probably will now!
It's been a year and it still does not leak. I got lucky.
You show em Pawpaw

Go for it!
