check with dave at global equipment exporters, they have a ton of parts listed and can get what is not listed, good luck.

Almost 10 year old thread - wow. Price rebuilding the unit at a good hydraulic shop, the rebuild price can sometimes be close to the new price, and new may give you some kind of warranty. A lot of stump grinder parts are speced to the application and are not interchangeable also. Good luck

Look on equipment trader and see they are selling around 3 -5k in running condition and usually with a v-8 engine. The bearing are still available they run about 800.00 - 1k for the set and they are a royal PIA to put in, I sold my fathers to a friend of mine who is a mechanic and he spend quiet...

Stump grinding is a weird business, most tree companies do it themselves and only sub out the nasty work. Some realize a good sub can do the work cheaper and better than they can without tying up their own crew to do it. Having a good machine that can get anywhere on hand and not having to worry...

Good info on this thread, as stated the helmet and suspension in use showed very little damage - a scratch to it if anything. EMS at the scene definitely said that with no helmet, I would have been much worse and probable DOA given what I did have to be carried away from. I am scared of anyone...

Suspension still intact and is still functional, albeit some DNA residue on it. It is however retired with the helmet.

MSA brand with ratcheting 4 point suspension, class E type 1, had the forestry shield and ear muffs attached. It is now hanging in my shop, retired and dated for a job well done. Thing only has a scratch on top. Almost 3" v shaped scar on my head is perfect shape of the suspension. Looking at...

Agree with the above that the limb needs to go, part this fall, remainder next year. Also suggest a ring of mulch around the base to prevent the lawn mower/ string trimmer damage.

Don't post on here much anymore, very little time and usually to much political bantering but I had an incident that I figured I would share, especially to those anti-helmet, I will never get hurt yahoos that are out there. I am in the tree business a long time - 25+ years, growing up in it, and...

With that much land and so many stumps, you might try contacting a land clearing company to come with a tracked grinder/shredder land clearing machine to clear everything. They could probably do the job in 1/2 a day or less and you sit back and watch. 10k will get you a small used self propelled...

"I broke the bearing (Link Bellt) on my cutter wheel last week. RG50 Hit a big chunk of hidden concrete inside an old tree... Broke a green tooth and then the cast iron case on the Link Belt. So! I get a new bearing shipped to me ($300) and get it all installed good. Go grind stumps from last...

Good advice on sharpening the teeth and the equipment to use, but keep in mind carbide dust is toxic and should be contained. Be careful.

I just replaced my 25 hp kohler with another 25 hp kohler. A little different air filter design but the same motor. The Rayco spec for this engine is very specific and only one engine will 'bolt up'. CH730 -3237 is the replacement spec for your original kohler 25hp. I had prices from 2k up to...

Check with joann at Northern Atlantic financial, look at a 5 year purchase loan for used equipment. No penalty for early payment. 4000 hours is a LOT of hours for a stump grinder. Tow behind are great but access is usually the issue. Really depends on the market and the area. Not many customers...

Some folks love the greenteeth and some don't. I am not a fan. The center of the wheel does most of the grinding usually with the outer teeth pushing the material. Because of this the center teeth will wear faster than the inner. Main thing to remember is the wheel MUST be balanced. Whatever is...

I used Northern financial for a recent purchase and was very happy with results. I think leasing is for very large companies that know they are going to turn over the equipment at the end of the term. That is a lot of hours on a stump machine and engines are not cheap. The dealer should have...

Good little machine for small work, like someone else said. 1620 originally was made with 3 wheel stance, no power front steering and a 20hp engine. Newer models have 4 wheels and power steering. Had one for a few years and it did the job, very slowly. Good thing about it is you can get it...

The carlton and rayco I have run the bushings all tap out. To re-install I squeeze them in a vise grip, and tap them in. The pins should just unbolt and tap out also. Some grease on all to reassemble. hope this helps.

Purchased bearing from this company and they were shipped and fit exactly. Good deal, thank you.

Any one know the link belt part # for the bearings that are on this unit? It is a 1 3/4" pillow block bearing made by link belt, but the dealer only has a dealer part # at a dealer price = yikes !! Would like to find them at a link belt dealer at probably 1/2 the cost. Link belt has several 1...
