Well decided to rebuild a 29 year old Howse 4ft brushhog.
New stumpjumper, blades ,bladebolts, tailwheel, and pto shaft, and new sides . Went with 3/16 thick plate vs original 1/8 in.. should be good for next 30 years.. may throw a coat of paint on it tomorrow. Works amazingly well and 0 vibration.. like new!
