King City, Mo | Our 1518 brush cutter shaft got stuck to our 7210 one time. I unhooked and slide the shaft out, had let it sit for a couple days spraying it w/ penetrating oil and wacking it with a hammer. Needed the tractor to bale some hay....
Pulled the pickup up and hooked a 2" ratchet strap to the front tow hook, and around the constant volisity joint. Pulled as tight as i could ratcheting the strap. It wouldn't come off....so i stood up on the strap....(Bad idea #1)...i couldn't keep my weight on it so i moved up to the tractor so i could balance my self on the lift arms...then i processed to bounce a little (bad idea #2)...that got the shaft off....it came off, i went to the ground and the constant volicity shaft landed on my big toe. Broke my toe..wife made me to to the ER cuz i wouldn't stop bleeding....($800 co pay)
So to prevent that from having again i ended up replacing the pto shaft on the brush cutter and the tractor and haven't had an issue since...... | |
