Love your paint color theory... Our CASE-IH dealer never has the mower parts we need, so.. off to New Holland. Local dealer usually doesn't stock enough parts to do much, but 50 miles down the valley, they have enough in parts to build three or four machines from scratch. So, we always end up with New Holland parts. They have both color turtles. Our 7230 we bought new, I'm the only one who has ever worked on it.. (much easier to work on than green!!!!) You found some red locktite, I've found some too, but any new "OEM" bolts have come with blue locktite... Always fun! Especially if your 70 some year old father mowed off a we'll head!

we normally check our shock hubs each year and just check the oil levels. after that, our 1431 is ready to mow. We run ours with the deck 4 inches off the ground so we can get more cutting out of the fields.

Hey Wes I have a 1411 that keeps getting out of time. Last summer we ended up splitting the cutter bar 2 times to replace connecting shafts and will be to be split again before we use it again in the spring. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong. Put all new shafts 3 years ago along with a few new gear boxes. We also replaced the bolts that hold the bar together have check them every so often. But it’s the same shaft that always was going bad last summer. Any ideas?

@lukestrawwalker6 жыл бұрын
The New Holland cutterbar is a module type with "quill shafts" (small splined drive shafts) between the modules. Each module has a pair of bevel gears in it, a drive and driven. The modules bolt together with spacers on each end to make up the cutterbar. The newer NH bars have shock hubs with only about 4 splines in them, so if the cutterbar hits something solid, it shears off the splines and the turtle is free to spin on the shaft, protecting the bar. The older NH bars before the shock hubs had fully splined hubs (like this one) and if you hit something solid it either stripped the gears in the module or sheared a quill shaft between the powered end of the bar and the module that hit the solid whatever. The modules are easily repairable and you can keep an extra RH and LH on hand if you want, so if you have a breakdown, you can split the bar, bolt in a new module, and get back to work. On the newer shock-hub bars, if you shear a hub, it's 47 dollars and about fifteen minutes total to get back up and running. Kuhn bars are gearbed type bars... there's an input gear, turning an idler gear, that turns another idler gear, that turns a turtle drive gear, that turns another pair of idler gears, that turns the next turtle hub, on and on down the entire length of the bar... they all share a common oil sump (the bar gear bed gearbox itself) and share the oil between them all... so if something goes wrong, it usually grenades the bar, as broken gear teeth or ball bearings are free to roam around and get pulled in between gears at will... The Kuhn bars have their Protecta-Drive hubs installed, which if something solid is hit, it shears off the ENTIRE TURTLE and tosses it out the back of the mower. Kuhn cuts a slot in the shaft connecting the drive gear, going up through the bearing, and sticking out the top of the bearing hub that bolts into the top of the cutterbar, which connects to the turtle hub itself turning the blades. They cut a slot in this shaft so it is reduced in diameter from about the inch or so diameter of the shaft to less than that of a dime in the bottom of the cut slot, so this creates a "weak link" to twist off if something solid gets hit by a cutter disk. This shaft twists off and thus the disk (turtle) gets thrown out the back of the mower. TO fix it, you have to buy an ENTIRE NEW ASSEMBLY, including the turtle disk hub the disk bolts to up top, with the new shaft, bearing, bearing hub that bolts into the top of the bar, and drive gear on bottom. Kuhn WILL NOT sell individual parts, so if you have a seal go out or a bearing getting sloppy, you MUST buy the entire assembly, which is about $250 bucks EACH... The old assembly is removed from the top of the bar with four bolts, and the new one timed (turn the gear to align everything correctly) and dropped in, then tightened down, the thrown cutter disk has the top cap removed by pulling two bolts, remove the other two bolts under the cap, and then install the cutter disk on top of the new hub, orienting it correctly so the timing is right, then installing the two inner bolts, the dust cap, and the two outer bolts... About a 15-20 minute field repair... Main difference-- about $210 more per hub for the Kuhn than for the New Holland bar.... No thanks! I researched all this as I've been looking at getting a newer hay cutter. I've run a Kuhn for another farmer and it's a nice machine, but the New Holland will cut just as well and the parts are a LOT cheaper, and it's a more durable design. The gearbed type cutters are prone to damage that can cause very expensive repairs-- a bent blade can cut through the top of the gear case, allowing dirt to enter and oil to escape. With age, the accumulation of grass and dirt and moisture under the skid shoes tends to rust pinholes through the gearbox cutterbed, and then you have to try to weld them up to reseal the case. In the end, the ONLY solution is to replace the ENTIRE gearbox case at great expense. When operated for long periods on steep inclines, the gearbed type cutterbars starve the gears and bearings on the upper end of the bar for oil, as all the oil is free to run down to the low end of the bar. On NH, Lely, Vermeer, and other shaft-drive modular cutterbars, each module has it's own encased oil or light grease that lubricates that particular module-- if a seal goes, if a bearing gets worn, or whatever, ONLY that module is damaged and the damage is contained to that module-- the rest of the modules are independent and have their own grease and oil supply so they cannot cross-contaminate each other. Operated on inclines, each module keeps full lubrication, as the oil simply runs to the downhill side of EACH MODULE during operation, but REMAINS IN THAT MODULE. If a blade gets bent, it will only be cutting into a hollow cast spacer, which is MUCH cheaper and easier to replace, and can be replaced individually... For all these reasons, I GREATLY prefer the modular cutterbars like New Holland, Lely, Vermeer (whose bars were built by Lely), and some Massey/New Idea cutters that had the modular bars. Later! OL J R :)
@lukestrawwalker6 жыл бұрын
In addition, some of the older Kuhns had NON-TOP SERVICEABLE BARS... meaning that if a bearing or gear went out, you had to take the ENTIRE CUTTERBAR apart to replace it... I think this was prior to the GMD Series II cutterbars... the 'old style' Kuhn bars were used on a LOT of different cutters over the years, including New Holland 416 and 417 cutters (prior to New Holland making their own modular bars later on). The new Deere 3 point hitch disk mowers (no conditioners) is merely a repainted Kuhn mower in Deere green. The pull-type Deere mowers use a modular-type gearbed bar that's like a cross between the gearbed Kuhn-type bar and the modular New Holland/Lely bars... it's all gears turning gears, no quill shafts or drive shafts down the length of the bar, but the gears are housed in "modules" that can be unbolted from each other at a 45 degree angle on each end, and serviced individually. OLF has a video showing this awhile back, servicing a module on this Deere windrower, which also uses this same type bar. Kuhn has started reselling the old style cutterbar mowers, as a cheaper alternative to their more expensive "series II" top-serviceable cutterbar mowers. Thing is, pay me now or pay me later-- they might be cheap, but when something goes wrong, you've got a holy hell NIGHTMARE on your hands to fix... A lot of those old style cutters were basically considered as "disposable" cutters-- you ran them a few years til they started wearing out and then got rid of them cheap before you had REAL problems, and just took the beating on them. I'd NEVER EVEN CONSIDER a non-top service type bar, unless you're getting the cutter at a practical STEAL and can demo it and make SURE it has no issues... Later! OL J R :)

@mikegoodman4476 жыл бұрын
Probably one of the short shafts or internal splines are very worn or starting to strip causing the out of time deal. I doubt somebody who is going to all the trouble of installing the assemblies would drop one in wrong. But it happens.
@lukestrawwalker6 жыл бұрын
Quite possibly-- the short splined shafts that connect one module to the next one out don't last forever-- the splines wear out over time leading to a "sloppy bar" (you can turn one disk at one end of the bar part of a turn before the disk at the other end of the bar starts to move-- in a "tight bar" it should be almost instantaneous when you turn one the other end one should start to turn as well). Occasionally a quill shaft (what they call the short splined shafts) will get twisted from the mower hitting something and create a timing error as well because the shaft is no longer straight, so its splines are out of time from one end to the other... If whoever was fixing the thing didn't realize that they have to time it, and they split the bar to replace a module or quill shaft (which sometimes they'll twist off if a bearing locks up or something real hard is hit) and just slapped a new one in there and didn't get the timing correct when they bolted the bar back together, then yeah that would throw off all the other disk timing down the bar from the point where the split was and the error was made...

@lukestrawwalker6 жыл бұрын
No... Deere 3 point cutters are just a Kuhn mower repainted Deere green. They're IDENTICAL to the Kuhn GMD-series II mowers, using the same gearbed-type disk drive common-sump gearbox for the cutterbar. Deere pull-type mo-co's and windrowers use a hybrid gearbed-type drive train of alternating idler gears and disk drive gears in the cutterbar, BUT they are housed in separate modules that can be unbolted from one another to separate out the module needing service-- the ends of each module are set at a 45 degree angle that bolts to the one next to it like this ( // ) when viewed from the front... This gives some of the advantages of the gearbed type drive train with the advantages of the modular cutterbar like the New Hollands. As for timing, they should be similar in how it's done, yes...

The seals on the shafts are protected from the elements so they give very little problems especially with 90 weight oil. What's amazing is the discs spin at about 3,000 rpm. if I'm correct. The top seal sometimes gets torn up from net wrap and other nylon rope products. But it's protected somewhat.
