Change Blades on a Rotary Cutter

[@stevejackson8600]

Stump jumper is what I know the round thing that your blades bolt up to. I also like how that brand had a hole in the deck to allow access to the nuts on the blade bolts. I see a cutting torch gettin fired up in the near future on mine and it to will have an access hole.

The bolts are not metric. A 1-11/16 socket fits the bolts. You can find it a Northern Tools for $24.99. Dewalt also make one. Rural King sells it for $18.99.

Could the extra bar be added for balancing?

[@Faithfulfamily]

I would've bought a socket. Even need it again you'll have it still. Gotta change my blades out on ours as I broke one of them yesterday. Old old blades on a really old cutter. I'll post a video on my install.

I know that disc as a stump jumper. Did you check the bolt in the pto shaft and gear box? I always put a shear bolt in. 😃

[@josephburkhalter5105]

I believe that cracked plate is called a stump jumper or something similar. It’s probably designed to protect the deck in case you hit a stump. Picked the name up from other videos shown removing the blades. Believe I would definitely repair or replace it. JoeB

It'd be a good idea to tether the PTO shaft cover to prevent it from spinning.

What rpm is best for the hog?

Thanks for th info,buying a county line brush hog

[@farmall51]

If it were me I'd feel better knowing those cracks were welded. Someone before must have hit something causing the blades to be out of balance causing the cracks . . Nice mower 👍

[@ralfie8801]

It’s just a shield to make it jump over tall obstructions. It serves no other purpose and doesn’t support the blades at all. It’s more or less a useful decoration.

File or grind to nut down to fit.

[@darrenpickens7147]

Dude! Did you ever stop to think the the blade nuts are probably metric instead of standard?

[@virtualinfluencer]

Good god I just looked and didn't believe my eyes until I saw this video. Those blades are a size of a machete

[@ralfie8801]

A machete can’t hold a candle to the size and weight of these blades.

[@leehilgendorf6215]

Yup either a 1 11/16" or a 42mm socket work

[@fpvflyby6855]

you need 24mm

[@jorgesalazar521]

I want to see how take it off... not half ass it.

[@JacqueS6845]

42mm socket.

[@justtinkering6054]

[@rogerboucher8098]
