Never fail when you are trying to make hay. Crap breaks and then Rain. Have a great week.

One good thing this year is when we get good weather to make hay it's been absolutely perfect weather. A couple years ago it wouldn't stop raining and when it did most hay was borderline moisture.

This one has been extremely reliable. Now it's getting some age it's not surprising issues happen a little more often. Just a involved process for a simple fix.

If you mean the module gear boxes on the cutter bar, I've never had to replace one. I have replaced the top cap that the hub and turtle bolts too. I looked up on NH parts and it looks like there are left and right modules and they are $365 and $380. Also it looks like the top cap is separate for $263. Check with The Disc Mower Doctor in Ronks Pa. They specialize in disc mowers and other hay equipment. I don't know if something like these would be that significantly different in prices, but last year I got the front half CV PTO shaft from them. NH wanted $2700 and through them the exact same thing was $1500. I believe they also have salvage machines they part out.
