[QUOTE="CraigClayton, post: 92213, member: 13221"] Twenty years ago I bought a Woods 5 ft rotary mower with bad bearings and 1/4 of the welds with stress cracks. I replaced the bearings and repaired all the stress cracks with 1/8 " 6013 welding rods on AC . The 6013 is a shallow penetration rod and is very good on sheet metal. The swinging blades were built like tanks and even once split small rocks. I powered the mower on a Ford 8 or 9 N that did not have a over running clutch. When I was cutting close to my neighbors fence I pushed in the clutch but the momentum drove the tractor into the fence. Only my pride was damaged. On a 3 pth regular tractor 5' mowers can be wild and bouncy. I have no knowledge about the hydraulic HP but most of the gear boxes are 30 and 50 hp. I sold the mower some years later.
