can you get us some better pics of where your at now ?? my thinking is it should back right out ... IF, you've drilled straight in.?. and if anything don't move / role the bike !! IF, you have the idea the bolt is against the ring gear.

well.... i should have kept up with what shade, and toodeep posted ... lol! i reckon i can be tossed in the book ... (you snooze, you loose)

i would agree... i also read they are there to help with brake drum noise ... whether thats correct, or not .... i couldn't say. in the big honda bible there called ring damper https://www.hondapartsnation.com/oemparts/p/honda/42624-hc4-000/ring-damper << honda parts nation.

I've been thinking about that filter setup...( NICE ) have you thought about using strong magnets in the tank or .... close to the drain that goes directly to the filter ... might help in filtering, and the longevity of the filter element ...

man! i hate to hear that! buddy.... hope it's not too bad.

the setup looks fine to me .... nice job on rebuilding this cutter!

i would think so, to it would be walking all over the place .... a caster on farm equipment is usually used on rigid mounted implements .... but a locking caster might ?? would work good, for off setting the deck ? and sence there's no direct drive line ... (pto shaft) to bind up...

i think you'd be fine with eight blades ... being that cog pulley, and drive belt would keep the blades in time ... however .... i am curious as to why the original owner had only two on each disk ?? .... my 1st thought would be not enough power to spin eight , OR he was using it in very heavy overgrowth... I've been looking at a few engine driven flail mower's i figured you'd like to see some of these ... lol I've used these bigger pto driven models ... one main issues is vibration .... and rotor wrap from twine, wire etc etc..

looking good! i think from the looks there not suppose to be tight against the drum.... this pic kind of gives an idea ... say.. you were to strike a rock.... the blade would pivot on the bolt ... causing less blade / belt .. and drive shock.

amen! that would be the crazy / insane part of the population ... i reckon.

probably so... lol ... I'm glad so many here feel the same way about that wrinkled old hag ... I'd love to know how many drugs she's taking ... a good dose of thorazine would solve her issues ...

hm..... this has to be a fake !! or plastic... ether way that hag has no clue.

welcome to ATVH.

I've never done it myself ... but seen a few that have tryed it ... from what I've been told they re break because the weld is more brittle ...

that' looks great!

it's been super nice today ..... although still wet, and sloppy ... almost 70 .... then a drop in temps over night .... and , every farmer is planting corn late this year ... i haven't seen the 1st garden plot tilled up yet .. all this wet cold weather isn't helping things around here ...

nice score. .... when we come up there to protest .... I'll be glad to take that off your hands :-)

reckon they will lower the price of red meat if this one gets out ??

that's a rough deal there .... man

i think yellow would just fine .... (eye catching for sure!) ... I've been looking at the rear wheel setup ....maybe I'm not seeing what you are but doesn't look like that bar will be in the way of the rear discharge chute, or is there something I'm not seeing ? and one question ... where do you plan on mounting the power plant, in this older pic ... right up front would ( center of those braces most likely ) be a good place. another plus would be a shorter drive belt. you could build a slightly elevated platform .... and i don't think hitch weight would be an issue

thank you @jeffo21
