A little thick to thin stuff with the Miller 115V flux core .030 wire feeder. High carbon mower blade to a shank. Shank was beveled and preheated. Weld was vertical top to bottom. Speed was slowed when the wire touched the shank to allow for burn in.

Welds hit with a needle scaler followed by a wire brush

 

Here we go

 

Git Sum!! At 0 lbs of weight this was just a scratcher, at 200lbs I'm ripping 1.5" roots in half and turning up grapefruit sized rocks without a blip. The only badness I can see happening is the shank body breaking where I drilled it. I may put a block in there behind it to support it.

 

Went back and added a backer block. While I was at it I welded a pipe on the backer to let me hang weight directly on the shank.

 

Trying to find belts for this.

Yazoo kees ZT mower.

It has 2 belts for the deck. One belt drives a jack shaft on the deck and the other is for the deck itself.

I can not find the parts diagram for this thing.

I measured the belts.

5/8 x 112ish

5/8 x 138ish

I'm done with hunting today. Someone else wants a challenge, go for it!

 

Are they toothed? Or just V-belts?

 

I don't know if mower application belts (clutching) are made in a clogged form.
I have never seen one.

Over the years I replaced every belt at the old job with a clogged (X in the part number) belt. In addition to running cooler (lasts longer) and giving a better grip they actually use a bit less energy too.

 

Might want to consider sheering pins. Just my two cents.

 

Found one that says "deck belt" double V 5/8" x 115" https://www.jackssmallengines.com/Products/YAZOO/Belts/Exact-Replacement-Belts

Thanks for links! That will help.

 

Do 3pt subsoilers have shear pins?

 

I mean your little plastic drive shafts might appreciate some.

When I was a plow boy all our implements had breakaways or kicks or shear pins so that you don’t wreck everything at once.

That is different than a dozer with a ripper blade but I think those still have some planned early point of failure.

 

Thinking back on what it took to break those barrels in the 3205 I'm amazed I didn't do it sooner. I was pretty indiscriminately yanking a 500lb brushhog around when it was stuck--thru low spots where I got stuck, backed up and sped up to ram it thru lol.

I know I won't shear the barrels with the subsoiler as it is a slow process without any high speed idiot maneuvers like I did with the 3205 but it wouldn't be a bad idea to add shear bolts. Do you have a source for 3/8" x1.5" shear bolts?

 

I might have a bin from an old snow blower but other than that I’ll need a few more specs. Those usually are specifically for material to material mating. Like 3/16” thick tube wall on a 1/2” shaft. I’ll peak into my parts and reference tables that I can find.

 

I’ve had two, both of them did

 

Dealer got my Orange in today.

 

Damn mice!

I think they are winning!

I don't think I should use Steve's recipe on my cabin filter...

 

i saw a video this morning said use baking soda and peanut butter mix it up. They eat it and since mice and rats cant pass gas they basically die

 

Passing gas is important:

If you don't the gas rises to your brain -- that is where crappy ideas come from.
