Cut them out with gas is the easiest option need a steady hand mind . Small pullers should work .

that picture of all the cogs and bearings should be sent to every dairy farmer in the country as a lesson as to why they should only buy toppers

Just looking at that there and I might as well be looking into shaws window

Stripped the flails off the hedgecutter, a coat of copper grease on all the bolts to prevent them siezing in the bush, if they seized it would mean leaving the job and cutting out the flail, bolt and bush to replace a broken flail.

You ought to have done the rams red to match the wheels............................:cool1:

I don’t think she looks too bad all in green...

No oil leaks thankfully, I was afraid that my work on the ram seals would fail but dry as a bone.

There’s a few of the bottom ones out a little too but not to worry as they don’t run on concrete.

Disappointing, after going so far and not sorting them :rolleyes2:

I'd say they would be laughing at a cordless, had to cut out one with the Hitachi 9", it took some cutting as you have to go through flail, bush and bolt and it has to be cut at both sides.

Have you to put it back together a set way now to balance the rotor .

Flails all much the same weight wise so it runs fine.

I weigh the flails on the Sovema and pair them .

got them out welded on a slide hammer got them out handy

Iv a neighbours topper in to fix the slack in this bolt on brawbar. The bolt is siezed in the bush of the drawbar . Tried sledgeing. Heat , and an inch airgun on the nut at bottom and a big breaker bar still siezed . Any ideas ?

 

[Bluffegan]

Try welding fully the nut of bolt a diameter slightly smaller than the pinto the top of the mounting. Insert bolt and tight the bolt into the nut. This should start the pin moving.

 

[AYF]

heat on the ouitside and a wax candle in the top. melt it down into the hole.

Wax becomes very viscous and doesn't evaporate the same as other things.

 

[AYF]

or could there be a step worn into it and physically can't move?

Have someone jiggle the drawbar as you sledge?
