I use a Lawn Genie flail mower/collection system to cut cover crop grown between the grape rows in our vineyard, and feed the green chop to the cows. Works pretty well, drops a mini round bale of cuttings and they fight over the fresh greens.
Saturday, I started down a row and heard a clunk from the mower. I shut it down right away, and the clunk stopped as the mower coasted to a stop. Today I opened up the gearbox and found three stripped teeth on one bevel gear and a host of chipped ones on the other gear.
The box is a Superior Gearbox model 221, now obsolete. No parts available from Superior, just a newer replacement gearbox, $400 and twelve week wait.
I just returned from the local bearing store, he can get bearings and seals, but not the gears. A browse through his catalogs revealed a Curtis Machine Company model 214 to be almost an exact duplicate. They want $600+ and four weeks.
Anyone have any other sources or suggestions? A pretty simple 2:1 right angle box, one inch keyed shafts.
