I have acquired a 26" slasher type mower, with 7 hp Kubota engine. Appears to be a locally (Perth WA) built machine about 20 years old. Currently set up with a single bar type blade to rotate anti-clockwise, (looking from above). Would like to modify the very basic chassis to add a discharge chute exiting to the right. This would necessitate running blade(s) clockwise, could then also use a conventional blade bar with two off the shelf swing-back blades.
Looking for info. 1. Could the single (appears to be 20 mm) nut on the vertical shaft holding the blade be left hand thread ? (nut is 30 mm across the flats) 2. Has the rotation be made anticlockwise so that the said nut does not loosen? I have not as yet been able to loosen this nut. The bar type blade appears to be clamped to the shaft between two very heavy washers by this nut. Help based on experience would really be appreciated. |
