Changing Blades on The RCR 1260 Land Pride Rotary Cutter (Bush Hog)

Quick tutorial on the changing of LandPride's RCR 1260 Rotary Cutter. This video also shows the 3 grease fittings required for routine maintenance. Full description of tools required, as well as demonstration of blade removal and install.

According to the local Kubota Dealer and the manual the bolt is 1 1/8" thread and the socket required is 1 11/16"
I tried a 1 1/16'' and it wasn't even close. Great video!

[@mcallisteracres6557]

You are completely correct. It is 1-11/16.

Getting ready to change my blades out for the first time. I have similar damage to my blades caused by most of the same issues that you had. Thanks for the info - Just what I needed.
GREAT video by the way!

[@bmcallister4539]

Really glad you liked it. It’s a very easy job once you know the basics.

Great job on this video.

I appreciate the comment. Thanks for taking the time to leave a response.

There is a zerk fitting on the axle of the tail wheel also. Good job on the blades.

[@bmcallister4539]

Yes Sir there sure is. I end the video adding grease to that exact fitting. Thanks for the comment and feed back.
There will be more videos coming soon so please stay tuned and let me know what you think of them and please add any ideas you may have for future video topics.

This was help my friend, thank you!

[@bmcallister4539]

I’m very glad it was helpful. That’s the entire point of the videos. I know there are a lot of people looking for this type of information so I thought I’d do my best to put as much of it in one place as I do it to aid people in what may work for them also.

Well done very well explained

[@mcallisteracres6557]

Thank you!

Nice video. I have the slasher one size below and this is very helpful.
One other suggestion with the grease points, there is also a 4th grease nipple on the tail wheel axle shaft, however as I stated earlier I have a slightly different model than yours so I might be wrong.

[@mcallisteracres6557]

Thanks for the comment. The instructions I have with the machine say there are only 3. I’m sure different machines have differing grease points though.

[@lestermiller1388]

I have a rcr 1260 and have a grease fitting on the wheel bearing also

[@lestermiller1388]

Nice video really helpful

[@mcallisteracres6557]

@@catjuggler333 I have one there as well. In the video you will see me grease that one last. There are 3 in total on this unit. Maybe different year models are set up a bit differently when it comes to their locations.. thanks for the comment and the interest in the video.

@@lestermiller1388 really glad to hear it was helpful. That’s the whole entire reason I started this channel. Hopefully my video and editing skills will continue to improve and the quality of the content will be better as time goes by for a better viewing experience.

It's a 1 and 11/16ths socket.

[@mcallisteracres6557]

Thank you. Yes you are correct, 1 and 11/16th. Great catch and thank you for pointing that out.

[@starshooter1003]

Thanks for the video. I have the RCR1872 but seems pretty much the same. May I ask the best way to lift the cutter and get it onto the jack stands?

[@bmcallister4539]

I used a floor jack to set the first two jack stands and then alternated to the opposite side. I just kept repeating this and adjusting the jack stands until they were maxed out in height but still able to be pinned in place so they were locked correctly. I just reversed the process to lower it.

"Torque Pounds"?, 😅😅😅

[@bmcallister4539]

I should have said Foot Pounds but I wasn’t about to redo an entire video to fix something most people realize was a slip of words.
