We've had out cutter for about 2 years. I was cutting with it last season and the cutter box made a funny noise then started to smoke and it stopped working. I opened the inspection cover and found there was no oil in the gear box. I check the other gear box and it had oil. So did the main gear box. Albeit milky looking there was still oil in the box. This process is going to take some time to get resolved. In this video, I get the gear box removed. But not without lots of trouble. Getting the stump jumper off was a difficult task as was getting the gear box itself off. I tried all sorts of way to make this happen. I was able to get it all removed. I was disappointed with the dealer I purchased the cutter at in that they did not want to help me get this fixed. That dealer was Hoober. I contacted Woods directly and they told me to take it to any woods dealer and the process could get started. That's what we did. We took the gearbox to Beverage Tractor in Stuarts Draft Virginia. Hopefully it will be repaired soon and we will put this cutter back together and get to brush hogging our pastures.
In working with equipment this size, you need really big tools. Here is a link to a 1 inch socket set like ours. There is no way I could have done this without this size of a tool! Brace yourself, they are expensive...
