Years back, my grand-dad had a brush hog that was allegedly factory made...brand name on it was Sun-Mastr from Olathe, KS...made of diamond-plate decking with a conventional--for the time--square gearbox. After about 20 years, when he couldn't buy blades for it anymore, he started having them made out of truck springs. A few years later, he traded it to my dad on a then-new FMC SideWinder 5x5. Dad proceeded to hook the old Sun-Mastr behind his 240U, and do some custom mowing. Unfortunately, on one of the first jobs, the lower shaft out of the gearbox sheared off, and slung the blade assembly through a nearly-new tire on the 240...most expensive mowing job he ever did, but it could've been worse if the blade assembly had kept going and injured some bystander. BTW, Dad bought a new tire and scrapped the Sun-Mastr because he realized what MIGHT have happened.
