Hello, I got a old Ford 22-60 hog. It came in peices, top 3/8 angle was broke, came with a larger tail wheel, and had missing bolts. I had some 3/8 angle laying around from some shooting targets I made years ago. So I decided to venture down repairing it. I welded on a larger spindel reciver for the larger fork and it started looking like a brush hog, so than i painted it! The good: gear box is soild, deck is soild and got it with new blades.
Questions:
1. Where the drive shaft meets slip clutch with those standoff spacers do I use grade 8 bolts or something softer that will shear?
2. Should I drill and tap the 1/2 fill plug on the gearbox to accept a grease fitting? If so what type of grease?
3. Where do I get new slip discs for the clutch? Or should I or can I even replace the clutch with a new one (aftermarket)
4 also the PTO is shot looks like if I bought a new one I would have to knock out the quick disconnect and connect the universal joint to the plate thingy?
Sorry for any Missdiscription as I have not owned a brush hog before, and thank you in advanced for you help
Side note I'm using a 1953 Ford jubilee with a PTO overrun clutch.
