What came in yesterday

[sberry]

I heard something rolling in,,, thought it was a different job. Only slightly knew this was coming. They gasp just a little when I price but they keep bringing them.
Lots of different operators, this thing they managed to hit a dual tire that was on it. Pic from phone in a min.

What am I seeing or not seeing sberry? I see a nice JD tractor, missing the outer dual wheels. and a bush hog.

The fact that that “nice” bush hog is twisted a few degrees from hitting the outer dual tire and being pulled up!

O I now see it sides in or out on the square channel. Bring it in to close drive off.... Hello more twisted bush hog...

thanks topcok88

They took the tire off after. It had some hyd leaks too, looking for a cylinder now. The upside is the deck is light, the frame the blade motor runs on isn't too bad, it telescopes and works. I found another bent piece, I steamed it off for an hour.
I wanted the fold cylinder before I started the steel repairs but I got it under the hoist now so I might be able to get started if I have to wait on a part.

Must have a lot of ditches that need cut or you would have gotten a standard bush hog !

Buying a new cylinder or just looking for one already rebuilt ? There must be a hydraulic shop within 50 mile of you (TC?).

Are you going to put a stop on it so when the dual wheels are back on they cannot retract too far?

I was gonna stop it but they said duals are staying off. They used to have a hedge trimmer thing but it got bent and they like this better. This is for snomobile trails.
Old, yes, had it dropped at TC this morning. It was a toss up as to where to get it, it's really what they call a loader cylinder.
It was so wrinkled that I hit it with the torch first. Normally pound and bend first but it wasn't gonna happen. I got it over bent a little in the pic. I was gonna set it up outside and work on it with a crane and loader but figured to give it a little try in spot, hi lift jack, some blocks, chains and binders. Got to figure out how to hold a bit yet, maybe anot her big ole bend.
