Feel your pain. On our new Holland H series Disc bine the bolt that holds the roller gearbox on the casting broke then come to find out the main gearbox the PTO goes to also broke fully. Then put most of it together and the replacement shaft was machined wrong so had to take it all apart again get a new gearbox. Sometimes it’s just a nightmare but once it’s done it’s done and you know it’s good to go for a while
I enjoy watching your videos. Working on things and fliming it is a huge PITA im sure. Get the right shields etc. I don't think that will give you any more trouble for a while! 👍
Yeah should be some sort of shield up there around the bottom of the gearbox to the "spool" over the U-joints... when that things spinning it'll create a ton of airflow like a centrifugal fan which will suck crap right in the top and pack it in around the shaft and seal-- no bueno. SO they'll have some sort of shield up there pretty close to the top disk of the "spool" to keep it from sucking stuff in there... maybe a lip over the edge that sorta "cups" the spool. Also that U-joint yoke seems REALLY loose on those splines... might want to double check that and make sure that yoke isn't shot-- don't want to eat the splines off your brand new gearbox shaft and have to replace it AGAIN, as I'm SURE they won't warrantee it if loose splines eat the shaft off... I'm REALLY surprised that they don't have a "clamp on" yoke but I see that the reason they don't is, that's the "slip joint" that allows the shaft to be stabbed into the yoke, particularly on the old style 'drum' spool that didn't allow access... which was crazy and a bad design anyway-- why have grease zerks on the double U-joint and NO WAY to access them?? Not quite sure why they didnt have some sort of two-half drums that simply bolted on over the U-joints and could be unbolted for access/greasing. Have them bolt onto a ring on the top of the disk to keep centered... Maybe small "windows" in it for access to the grease zerks, with little bolt-on covers. Oh well, choices engineers make. Definitely need to get that top shield though or the suction from the spinning spool will quickly pack that SO full of crap and wind it around your shaft and U-joints that it'll start ruining the seal.
Khun are masters at using non DIN size heads, old Kuhn mower blade holders are 18mm rather than 19mm and all the bolts in the top of my power harrow should be 17mm head but are 16mm
Used to run a set of them novercats the front mower was a good mower but the back I was never a fan there was always something with it but it was the older version of this one but put it me off pottinger kit if am honest
@bufferbridge I just looked it up. Apparently the standards changed from DIN 933 to ISO 1502 all the way back in 1992. Since then M10 bolts have a standard 16mm head size instead of the old 17mm and M12 bolts have 18mm heads instead of 19mm. Yet here in Germany every M10 bolt you buy has a 17mm head. Good thing about standards is that there is so many to choose from...
Can you please make a video on hooking up the KMC 2760 to the Kuhn Cutter It’s a pain in the neck.
Hate to see you having trouble with it but on the bright side you know the machine inside and out now

New gearbox sounds expensive. Hopefully nothing else will go wrong.
i would highly advise getting motor kote and adding it to every gear box on the farm.

There should also be shields around the top hat,,The holes in it are for bolts to go,,
Good video.
17mm is box Standard for 10mm bolts. I've never seen a bolt with a 16mm head here in Europe and i'm kind of surprised Pöttinger even used them

@@hjohnson286 I had a quote for a 5 furrow auto reset plough from Pottinger dealer, the feckin price put me off!
They are used in german equipment. We have ZTS 16245 but for german market and insted of 17mm are 16 and as well on Deutz Fahr combine 16 mm
Whatever happened to the IH 2+2?
Still waiting to be finished
Your timing must be out for the blades to touch.
3 point disc mowers tend to have problems like this at least in my experience
also i reccomend red loctite for bolts and green retaining compound for all the shafts. something about 3 point mowers rattle everything loose
@@georgecostanza9387verry good suggestions I've learned from experience
👍👌❤🇨🇦
