New toy!!!!

[johnny quest]

Mitsubishi mt372. 15 hp 2 cyl diesel. It came with a finish mower also.
Now I need a box blade and tiller. Cute little thang.

Congrats on your new tractor. Those little tractors will surprise you on what they can do.
For the box blade, they're pretty heavy so I'd go with something just a tad bit wider than your rear tires.

You'll love it. I run a little Yanmar about the same size and 18 hp. (Photo)

I now use the 18 hp for everything in place of the 24 hp Yanmar, which is now dedicated to just backhoe use.

That's the perfect size, if you need to maneuver around tight space.

Nice. Congrats.
I had one just like that or close. It was a 17hp. Came with a belly finish mower and a little 4' brush hog. Awesome set up. Belly mower was hard on belts and that was the only issue I ever had with it.

Ok. It needs new blades on the mower and they’re assbackwards. Pulleys turn counterclockwise. Everything I’ve seen is the opposite. If I turn them over the lift blows down. The blades are 16 3/4” each. Can’t find counterclockwise ones. Any suggestions.

Do the existing blades work or are they spinning the wrong direction?


Do you have a diagram for the belt(s) across the pulleys? Wondering if the belt isn't on correctly

 

[johnny quest]

The existing blades are counterclockwise blades. And they work correctly but are worn down to nubs. I found a pic of the correct kind of blades. Just need to find some. Here.

What's the name brand (and if you have it, the model) of the mower?

 

[johnny quest]

I have no idea. I think woods. But I could be wrong. You can see it in my first post if that helps.

It sounds like it may be a Woods RM48 with CCW blades.
Messick's sells Woods equipment so I'd call their parts department. Those guys are AWESOME.

Found this. Scroll down. They want you to call for blades.

Thanks a tun.

 

[johnny quest]

Got them. Set of 3. Thanks again. They work perfect

 

[bczoom]

Sweet!

Out of curiosity and for forum knowledge, where did you buy them?

 

[johnny quest]

I got them from German-Bliss equipment. Oddball blades. Part # 5081

I scored a 3.5’. Cat 1 box blade for her. $175.00 on Craigslist. (Cha ching) I hooked it up and did some testing with it and the matchup was perfect. It’s a little rusted and has a ding or 2 but it’s an implement. The specs on this 372 say cat 0-1 so either will work on it. Found a 3 point hitch cat 0. Also. Now I can move trailers and things that require a ball hitch. Rock rake is next. Things are moving along great.

Also the whole rig, mower and all fits on my 5x10 utility trailer. Can’t get any better. It has 4 acres of pasture to do. The rest is totally wooded.
