Bush Hog Stump Jumper Removal

I hit a stump with my Bush Hog and it began shaking violently. The blades were not obviously bent or damaged, but there was a dent on the stump Jumper. I decided to remove the stump jumper which can be a major challenge. I created this video after I was able to remove it to share the technique I used along with a couple of mistakes. This is a SQ172 Bush Hog. The blade nut size requires a 1 11/16 " per the manual and I found that to be what I needed. I found that a 36mm socket fit the castle nut on the gearbox output shaft. I have now replaced the gearbox and bent the framework back into shape and the Bush Hog works fine without any vibration. The new gearbox, new blades and blade nuts cost $742.32 from a local tractor dealer. I also purchased some anti seize which I put on everything and I had to purchase the unusual sockets from Amazon.
