That parts machine arrived on the same truckload as my mower. They lived very different lives.

I think I forgot to put in the part where I checked with the mower running. It came in at 96db.

Glad you were able to get the 1855 going.

Thanks. I agree, a 310 makes music.

It was a beautiful day for it.

Yeah, I was in my early 20s and had to go tell Dad what I had done. Words were spoken. Lol

I've heard the saying... a dry year will worry you to death, a wet year will starve you to death.

That Oliver Guy - Chris Losey so true

Make hay when the sun shines. It almost always a nice day when you're mowing.

But if I had work books, I'd have to go to work. Lol!

That Oliver Guy - Chris Losey they say if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. Have a good one!

Witam!

I've been able to get the parts, it's just how fast with there not being much of a dealer network anymore.

It's always better when dad does it, even the screw ups!

Tuesday night. Should be able to get it all baled and put away by then.

Not close, their way different looking, an how their driven! I have a 4995, 946,930 moco's

U joints would definitely be more durable. I don't see where these rubber couplers would be any cheaper.

the gehl 2365 has u-joints, just replaced them on mine

Especially if it is a carriage or plow bolt.

That would be nice. I do have an air ratchet, but totally forgot about it. I didn't know anybody was making them cordless, but should have figured as much. Thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe for second cutting. 😎

It's logarithmic. (I had to use spell check on that one. Lol)

Hello Murphy!

The fenders are aftermarket. There were a couple companies that made them, I think these were made by the Year-a-round cab company.

Honey Badger don't care!

You know it!

We're getting there.

My impact wouldn't fit in there, and I use it so infrequently, I forgot about my air ratchet.

4th overdrive. Right around 6 mph.

You've got a little bit of everything going on. As long as it gets the job done is the important part. Thanks for subscribing!

Gehl equipment was just build to weak, not built tough enough

I think they were heading downhill towards the end, but for most of their history, Gehl made a good product.

@@ThatOliverGuyChris they did, their pull type choppers at the end were great for capacity but a nightmare for wiring gremlins an to many chains running every which way, u are correct tho their a old company an wouldn't of been around this long if they had junk from the beginning!

I haven't needed a lot, but so far I've been able to get whatever I needed shipped in a reasonable amount of time. I bought new knives for it last year from Gehl because I don't like the aftermarket ones. The Gehl knives are a little longer, and that makes all the difference on how clean it cuts. Plus they are reversible. I also ordered parts for adding remote hydraulics for my 24 year old Gehl skid steer and didn't have any problem getting them.

I'm glad i had that parts machine. Who knows how long it would have taken to get parts.

That Oliver Guy - Chris Losey mine went out Saturday afternoon after John Deere was closed for weekend called this morning and had part by tonight and put it back into working order and drop about 30 40 acres tomorrow

I am someday going to make a repair video on them, I just need to have one to repair. Basically, it is an auxiliary transmission in front of the main transmission. The main transmission has 6 forward speeds, so you pick the gear that best suits the work you are going to do. The over/under is shift on the go, so say you picked 4th gear like I did in this video, you now have 3 speeds you can select from without having to clutch to shift. Under drive is the slowest. It uses gear reduction to slow the main transmission by about 20%. It uses what is known as a sprag clutch, which is basically a bunch of wedges that ride in the space between 2 shafts. When the output slows down to speed of the gear reduction, the wedges lean just a little and lock the 2 shafts together getting you under drive. When the output speeds up faster than the power path for under, the wedges lean back releasing their grip. This allows both direct and over to speed up the output, but also allows the tractor to freewheel in under, so if you're going down a hill it's best to have it in direct or over because the tractor can speed up in under. Direct drive uses a hydraulic clutch pack to lock the input side to the output side. It is essentially like there is a straight shaft going from the engine clutch to the main transmission. Over drive uses another hydraulic clutch pack to speed up the output by about 20% using the same gears as under drive. That might seem impossible, but both utilize a planetary gear set and by controlling which gears turn in the planetary changes the speed you get. The over/under is self contained having its own oil, pump, filter, and cooling system. Since you get the 3 shift on the go speeds in each of the main transmission gears, you effectively have 18 forward speeds (6 gears x 3 shift on the go speeds) and 6 reverse speeds (2 reverse gears x 3 shift on the go). Hopefully that explains it until I can get a video made.

That Oliver Guy - Chris Losey, thank you! Great explanation!

4th over. I'll bump up to 5th direct in second cutting.

Yes, when we closed in 98 we had been a Gehl dealer for just over 60 years. The only trouble I've had with parts is the lack of dealers. I haven't needed much, but it always has to be shipped which takes time. There's a dealer by the name of German-Bliss that has all the parts books online with prices. For having been out of the Ag market for as long as they have, Gehl has done a decent job of supplying parts. Granted I haven't needed much, so I might be biased.

I haven't had any trouble getting them, the biggest thing is not many dealers, so shipping slows down the return to the field.

I was shooting for 15, but ended up around 17. Fortunately I had enough seed.

We were using more expensive seed until last year. We bought some cheap stuff to use as a green plow down, but all the rain we had last year changed our plans. We had some winter kill and used it to reseed that ground instead. It turned out to be our best alfalfa last year. We planted more of it this spring as well and it caught really well. It is a blend of South Dakota Common and Vernal.

I didn't know it when I bought it, but mine was OMRI certified. I'll have to check the bag to see which variety it is.

That's cool, it well be neat to see what it is!

We spread 100 acres of clover shooting for 10 pounds an acre.on the first field about 20 acres we put close to 20-25 pounds on per acre it is coming up thick lol. Lucky we we got it set up good

Alfalfa and orchard grass.

Ok, I'll probably regret this, but what is the right way to open a hay field?

@@ThatOliverGuyChris not saying your way is wrong. You know how it is you do a lot of something an teach others your way an some times you see others doing it opposite an it gets ya!! But the hay did get cut!!

Aren't you just a ray of sunshine. Thanks for watching.

Oh, I see the asshole squad is here, 😒
