We have been clearing underbrush off and on the last couple weeks to expand our woodland pastures. The 72” Wolverine brush cutter is a lot tougher than I expected. It has taken down plenty of 4 inch trees without too much trouble. Unfortunately there are lots of big rocks hidden inside the woods. At one point I dropped the brush cutter on one of them really hard and broke the T-bar for mounting the blades. The blade ended up flying through the metal on the side of the brush cutter. It left a 4x5 inch hole in it. Glad I don’t let anyone hang around while using the brush cutter. So it is time to repair the brush cutter and while I am at it, this is a good time upgrade the brush cutter to use a stump jumper instead of a T-bar. My wolverine brush cutter uses a 12 spline 40hp gearbox. After some careful research this is what I found for replacement parts.

If the castle nut attaching the blade carrier to the gearbox is damaged you will need a few additional parts.
This is the hole the blade made in the side of the brush cutter.
This is where the T-bar snapped when I dropped it on the rock.
Here are the new blade stump jumper, bolts and the new blades.
Here is what it looks like when the new parts are installed.
All it took to remove the original T-bar was pulling the pin from the castle nut from the center and unscrewing the bolt. I just used a large adjustable wrench to loosen it. It came off very easy.
The blades stick out quite a bit on this brush cutter. This is handy when cutting larger trees but won’t work so well for small to medium brush. I will list a shorter small blade option for those.
Before you use the brush cutter spin the blades by hand and make sure they are at least 1 inch from the outer walls.
