Hi Jay, looks like you did a real good job taking that thing apart. I'm glad you used an impact wrench to loosen up the bolts, I always use my impact wrench for that kind of stuff. Can't wait to see your next video. Pete
I hate buying used equipment. You never know if the person that had it knows something you don't. I reckon replacing or fixing the bar and other odds & ends will put it in good shape for at least another 10 years.
You've blown the inner seal in the cylinder. The hole allows air into the cylinder when you let the bar down. It'll have to be rebuilt. The kit is available from Kuhn. It's not too hard to rebuild them.
Looks like you need you torch out there for them rusted bolts heat does wonder on them. i know you dont want to buy another mower but i might be your best bet might find a used one for not much more than repairs on yours. carry on
I ended up being able to lift the bar into the vertical position and collected the hydraulic fluid that continued to come out. It will still probably need to be rebuilt but it was working well enough to get the first cut done!
I appreciate the videos! I've been watching through them. I have a GMD 600 and there's a small vent hole/ breather port at the top (away from where the hydraulic hose enters) of the hydraulic. I went to use mine the other day and it started spewing out of the hole when I tried to lift it. Any idea what the problem might be?
your really getting the barn and everything around it in shape man
I appreciate that. I'm just happy to have a place I can fit a vehicle in and close the door if I need to.

It's the best way! It'll either break it free or wring it off. I need a bigger impact though. Thanks Pete.
That's good. I had the same issue on mine about seven yrs ago

It's getting there. Thanks
That's a good idea. It's a Sparta. Made in the USA
Nice video, keep em' coming!
Gotta have a strong back for that one! I really need a 3/4" impact.
Thank you!
Be a good time to inspect you gearbox for wear bearings, seals and whatever at least new oil, I would have to say that's a good breaker bar.
looking good

My neighbor has a 1" impact. Its roughly the size of your arm from your elbow to your fingers lol
AMEN
Timing
Do you maybe think you could do a update video on the disc mower? Thanks
I just used it yesterday to cut some hay. Was going to video it, but too windy. I'll get an update video next time.
Haha wow your cuttin all ready! We don't have anything ready yet, it will
Be a couple more weeks here. And thanks! I appreciate it
