059 - Buying and Fixing a Rotary Cutter

20:57 that had to have been the craziest thing I’ve ever watched. I’ll tell you one thing, never start your mower raised. It’s hard on the u joints haft and gear box, and this will happen, that can break things, and it’s scary as hell, I watched grandpa do it with our big seven foot monster bush hog and it didn’t sound good to say the least.

@@30acreshop_time definitely. I didn’t think to extend the blades before starting for the first time. A mistake you only make once. 😱

@ usually you don’t have to, you just want to make sure your mower is firmly on the ground

Milky?? Don’t top it off, drain it first

[@redmapleranch]

@@deweyk2341 thanks! Definitely important to replace all of it once contaminated. I checked the lower plug later in the video and realized it was still in good condition.

Don't you think you should try WD40 before you start taking it apart

@@deanbittner wd40 is always helpful
