I got the same bush hog. Only way I got mine off was by leaving the nut screwed off to the tip so I don’t mess my splines up. I took a bottle jack and wrapped a chain around the stump jumper bringing it out around the bottom of the bottle jack. Just be careful when really cranking the jack down. A lot of pressure on the tip of that jack and nut. Can slip off with a lot of force hitting you. But it works every time.

A welder friend of mine told me to try this… AFTER I had tried wedging with 2x4’s , beating and prying. AND it worked !!! The bushog is a 6ft BROWN Mfg out of Ozark , Alabama and it is 21 yrs old ++++ Short piece of heavy chain with hooks on each end Small ton bottle jack ++++ Wrap the single piece chain around each blade Set the bottle jack on top of the shaft with the nut flush to the top of the spindle. Set the chain on top of the bottle jack Start pumping on the bottle jack. It will “bong” like a bell when it breaks loose from that tapered shaft.

That would work. I've seen people do that to get the wheel off of lawn mowers that was frozen up.

I have 2 of those howse bush hogs I have a 3-inch hole behind the gearbox I can take the blades off with an impact wrench and put back on in about 25 minutes it will save you,r back you have always given me good information just thought I would help you out have a great week. They cut the hoes in the deck when I bought the mowers I have to sharpen my blades about 3 times a year have some ruff ground.

I've got to change my gear box on mine and will have to take the stump jumper off like you. When I put it back I will use anti-seize on the splines so hopefully it will come off easier next time.

I was surprised that that little 24v uga duga got that crown nut off the old weed whacker 9000, I was sure you would have had to hitch up that truck of yours to a pry bar to get that bad boy off. Just noticed the name on your tractor, we had mahindra jeeps over here at one point. Real interesting stuff buddy thank you and I hope you share the secret behind that oil of yours at some point. You please take care stay safe and God bless buddy

I was a little surprised myself that nut came off the easy. The mahindra tractor has been in the US since 1994 I believe it was.

Well, whatever works for you and is safe, so you avoid injury or worse.🤕 Farmers always have to be resourcefull in order to deal with all sorts of issues, and often without having all the best options available, seems that is part of the attraction of living on the land, the diverse challenges and the satisfaction of overcoming such challenges and seeing crops and animals growing - and knowing you are more self-reliant than the majoriety of people who are clustered up in the world's cities and crowded places without space to grow much, if anything at all, and with little practical skills like farmer's all must poses! - After all, it is the worlds farmers that feed most of the worlds people. 🙄 ❤ 💕 !!! And modern society tend to forget that very fact as most non-farmers are so caught up in their lives many even look down on farmers - the very farmers without whom they would NOT even be able to survive.! - Kind of ironic. 🤔 !!!

I notice every video on working on these brushhogs, or old tractors... the parts look new, with fresh paint. Like your Stump Jumper does,, as tho put on recently from a shop, and then people are videoing taking them apart... for example, when you say "all these parts been on here for years.." and they are rust free, not bent, freshly painted and come off WAAYY more easily than if it was used in a field for 20 years... doesn't even have rotary (circle) scratching or gouging on the disk. And no grass build up. Further, teaching people to double arm baseball swing a 3 pound hammer into the bottom of a relatively unsecured BrushHog, is a good way to die a Bad death.

Sir. There is nothing new on this bush hog but the shaft . This bush hog is in good shape for it's age because I take care of it. I try not to cut trees and jump stumps. I cut grass most of the time. It's no rust because I use it weekly and clean it when I'm done. It is bent up on the back portion, been welded and repainted twice due to backing up while bush hogging. Can't really see how it's unsecure chained to the tractor. Hope you have a blessed day..God Bless! Matthew 7:12

They are rust free and clean because constant use doesn’t allow rust to form on the parts just like on a lawnmower. Moreover he stated and showed it at the end that he had the mower chained securely to the front end loader. And the right penetrating oil can make a big difference in how quickly you can break the parts free.
