John Deere 1360

This is some of the damage done to my John Deere 1360 mower conditioner after lifting a length of electric pole stay wire that was dumped in my grass. I needed a gear for under the disc and 3 intermediate gears, plus 2 days time dismantling, washing out and rebuilding the bed.....rust was a real problem!
At least my pocket is lighter now....who makes out Deere's prices? £345 stg for the drive gear and £287 for each of the other gears....ouch! I managed to find a custom worker friend with an old cutter-bed and got all I needed for £200.
Deere by name and dear by nature???

I would have thought the slip clutch or shear pin would have saved it.
I would also have thought the perp would have taken the wire to the scrap yard soonest. Jim
 

Labor is a big part of the cost of repairing a disc mower. If you had paid someone to make the repairs it would have been cheaper to buy another cutterbar. I got one once with a bad gearbox and buying a new gearbox was cheaper than repairing the old one.

Have you ever seen the speed these things turn at? Speed plus flywheel action = no point in having a shearpin !

I understand the inertia involved, it just seems like there should be a place in the disk drive itself that would allow the stopped disk to shear a pin that would limit damage to a strip of hay not cut. (I would make that a design criterion) Just My way of limiting cost to my customer. Jim
 
I noticed the prices of parts for that mower have risen tremendously the past few years. I think its to encourage you to buy a new mower rather than repair the old. Parts for the New Holland 411 (same Kuhn cutterbar) are cheaper but not by a lot.
Later model Deere have a shearhub, the splines of the hub shear to limit damage. Still a 70 or 80 dollar part the last I looked. No reason it couldn't be designed with an inexpensive shearpin instead.
 
You need to investigate the slip clutch on that machine. If it wound wire up... it should have bound solid and stopped. Usually mine will just shear the turtle shaft which is bad enough but I've never seen it take teeth off.

It's the green and yellow paint, makes it worth more. I'm not a hater, just seems to be a fact.
