Rebuild

[G-Man]

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!

We use to sell new Howse grass mowers.  They should of been built that well to begin with, but then we would of called them Woods with a much steeper price tag. Keep oil-grease mixture in the gear box, it should last.
