Howse Gearbox Replacement

JB93 · Mar 22, 2017

I am looking at an older Howse cutter that needs a new gearbox. I see aftermarket replacement gearboxes for around $150. Are the a pretty simple swap vs tearing about an old gearbox to replace seals and bearings?

I have a House 5 ft. I brought used over 30 years ago. I just use it as a backup now as I have a newer Land Pride. I.ve had the gear box off a couple of times. Just four bolts and I remove the stump jumper with blades attached, along with the pto shaft. I found it easier to work on by flipping it up sideways and chaining it to a tree using the tractor loader. My gear box got filled up with cornhead grease a few years back due to seals leaking. I would just buy a new gearbox for the 150 bucks rather than rebuilding the one on it, but that's just me. Agri Supply sells them.

Why do you think you need seals and bearings? I'm serious.
