Not going back. This thing is cool! Now I’ll spend the next several days measuring everything

Well, now it has a $40 off coupon on Amazon for a bit... Dang it. Add this to the "Tools I didn't know I needed" list.

I posted this to list the parts in case someone else needs to repair one. The large seal was the same as this cat 2J 8163 Oring. the other two, I measured and ordered these two from Amazon. They fit perfectly. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P97N5PF?tag=atomicindus08-20...

I needed a brush hog and I scored a really nice old Massey Ferguson rotary cutter on marketplace. The guy was a genuine gentleman and honest, he told me the guy he bought it from didn’t disclose the fact that he’d packed the gear box full of grease. So he was surprised to see it full to the top...
