Today, we will finish up the mount for the shovel and tool box.

Here's the upper shovel mount. It is really just a catchment. THe shovel secures below at the blade, but slides into this first

And the rest of the business was then bolted up and the shovel and jack slid home. I did line the jack and upper shovel mount with the rubber liner with adhesive backing, so that it wouldn't disturb the mud daubers and spiders while I was mowing sequoias.

Got just a tid bit of safety sam in me I guess. I imagined mowing in overspeed mode and that little single engine quadraped with big teeth decidin' to attack that buzzin' slight out of plane drive shaft, and suddenly finding himself about seventeen feet long and in doing High-"G" astro-dog training!

Took a while for me to catch up with this.  It's looking great.  But is it my eyes or did the new paint not quite match the OEM paint color?  Was the Val spar stuff guaranteed to match or did you just pick the closest Green?  It still looks really good, just curious for when I might be ordering paint.

Next I marked off and cut out a "Hooked" area. This is where all the business is going to take place. THe saplings should get shoved over into this recess where they will be exposed to knifage

Then I cut out two uprights from 1/4" plate and the pusher bars from .250 wall 3" square tubing.

The idea here is that the tree is first bent away from the cutter at a slight angle before the slightly stressed trunk is exposed to the blades. This should make for a wee bit easier cutting and make for easide cutting as things will be pushed to fall just aft of that hungry mouth.

I pressure washed all the grit off as well as those stupid decals. The decals took the longest!

Here is a view of the blades. I'd say about 1.75" is exposed along a part of the rear. Mind you, this will not be ideal, but it should be a ton more effective a cutter that it has been with all that bent up thin wall junk hanging on for dear life back there

"But what about the safety chain guard!"
Says some liberal who isn't a Darwinism fan...

That will sure wreak havoc on something!
Hopefully the blades are up to the task they now face.
I'd hazard this may be a tiny bit out of the scope of the engineers vision for this brush hog. I'm thinking it will be way mo-better at mowing down the saplings now.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Makes it easier to sharpen those blades now!  It will toss more "debris" out of the back now so watch your six as you feel it out and remember that those modifications don't up the diameter of what it'll handle!

You Menses are funnie!

The chain saw has been mowed over several more times. Mikey saw the cylinder/broken piston (dis)assembly. It no longer poses a significant restriction to mowing!

The blades are up to anything. They look to be 3/4" - 1" thick and are made of high strength hardened steel in a forge.

See, here's the thing. This cutter was factory rated at cutting up to 3" saplings (trees??). Obviously you can't mow a standing thicket of three in. trees, however if you encounter one every once in awhile, sa-live'

The problem has always been in the engagement technique. If one drives over said 3" tree, then enroute to the cutter the flattened tree under a buncha upward pressure takes hydraulic lines, clips, pins and your ham and cheese sandwich every once in awhile. If I back over said tree, then the chain holder thig-ah-ma-jig gets bent up and rolled under. That now turns your cutter into a part time box scraper as well (A good thing???)

By opening up your mouth it is like having a stadium of Sanders supporters listening the the Bernie. His mouth is much more effective!

The pusher bars should just start to push the trees backward before death and a new height arrives on the scene. That's all. Well and if that coon comes out of the hole in the tree and dashes under the bush hog before I can get my nine out, he'll have easier access ;-)))

Bottom line: It was fun modding the thing, I got a better (deadlier) cutter, and you boneheads got entertained!

Summary: Its all good!

Copy that Mike!

I think that how this is going to play out, is that this thing will handle the mo-bigger cutting operations. Like the edge of the fields where roses, briars, and stuff like that is keeping me from getting at the bases of the cedars. I'll open that all up with this cutter. Then I think I'm gonna end up owning a flair mower to mow over those golf course lookin' fields of mine. I'll use "Big Bite" as I have named it to cut the swath of "Ephesians trail", then the flail to keep the poison ivy mowed to a comfortable height.

The tip speed of those blades are relatively low compared to your standard lawn mower but I would still pay attention to which direction you are pointing when mowing.

OK, except for painting the appropriate Danger markings on the big mouth, I'm done with that

So I was thinking about what to put back there to indicate the danger
 
Here's my ideas:

1. That "V" warning on navee jet fighters that says "Jet Intake"
2. A sign written in haji script saying, "Isis fighters, Martyr yourselves here"
   ^^^ That's my fav so far!
3. "Insert republican ballots here"  That way i could lease the machine to the polling centers which are run by democrats
4. Paint a mouth with teeth like the Flying Tiger P-40's had flying against the Japs in China...Oh yes, world, the US Army saved that country also!
5. A sign, "Entrance, Hillary rally"
6. Something like "Darwin award interviews inside"
or
7. "If you recently visited all 57 states, then hold onto the metallic lever inside and pull up on yellow switch to see what prize you won!"

So obviously I have some things to think about...

I had some holes to fill in prior to sanding, like this one:

For the life of me, I couldn't knock that exit wound in flat. I pounded in on until I centrifuged all my blood into my fingertips. If I would have pulled a hang nail, I'd have likely bled to death!

So I got it close, put a scab on the inside and welded 'er shut!

Hmmm, no pic of 'er welded shut...according to Shawn, it must not have happened!

The paint I used this time is some stuff that TSC sells. It was cheap, like half as much as that liquid gold stuff that Deere sells.

I found a local herion dealer. I told him I needed 1 kilo of pure John Deere paint. He said he thought he could get it, but it was going to cost me...$10,000!

But hey, I'm an Armee pilot so I figured it must be a steal! Get it...a steal???

Anyway, he got busted and the deal fell through, so I had to go for something else. Duane had a single good idea today and buying this stuff was it. Good goin' Buddy!
