Right angle drive on a brush hog?

Would have lasted longer if it was lubed.

The demise of this started a few years ago. Guy operating it at the time ran it until it stopped. I’m shocked it lasted a few more years and a bunch of acres before finally giving up to the ghost. Crazy thing is a full box was cheaper than parts to rebuild it.

Crazy but not surprising

Our customer sent this truck out (2020 Pete 579) to have a rear crossmember replaced. It's not uncommon for them to break, as they are aluminum.

HOWEVER, this is what they got back. so now I'm gonna charge them about the same amount of money to fix that other places fuck up.

Don't use "crown diesel 24/7" in the Houston/Baytown area unless you want your shit looking like this.

I think we need a before pic and a how it should be done pic.
HDTs are not something that a lot us are familiar with.
No argument - more like, no idea…

I figured they did that to keep the threads out of the holes so it's all bolt shank going through both pieces.

 

[Steve300xcw]

No they did that cuz they had extra 2.25" bolts

 

[bdkw1]

Not every hole gets a bolt, but every bolt gets a washer....... or 3........

Course thread? Nylocks? You wouldn't think that stuff is standard.

Coarse threaded Grade 8 bolts are pretty standard fare. Not Nylocks and extra washers. DOT will have a field day.

Nylock nuts, copious use of washers, and loose hardware. Every bit of a DOT violation putting it out of service.

That's the general idea. However, lots of mom and pop places do that because they don't want to take the extra time to make it right the first time. From the factory, Huck bolts are used, however, properly sized grade 8 hardware is acceptable as a replacement for the Hucks due to not all places having the proper tool to install them.
