    Is the OPC the operator presence switch under the seat?

    B7800 clutch safety switch

    I adjusted the free play on the clutch and it still behaves about the same (although the clutch pedal feels a lot less sloppy) . It seems more likely to fire up when I start releasing the clutch. Last week I tried to just crank it over and over again for a few minutes (with breaks in between...

    B7800 clutch safety switch

    I have a good 2 inches of free play on the clutch (maybe a bit more). I will try setting that to 1 inch first and maybe blow out the switch area and spray some lubricant on the switch. Does the transmission have to be in Neutral on the B7800 before I start? So far I have left it in M and just...

    Thanks - I wonder if I have to remove the instrument cluster bonnet to get to it?

    B7800 clutch safety switch

    I finally used my 2006 B7800 for about 20 hours last week and found that once it warms up, if it stalls or I stop it for any reason, it will crank but not start unless I push the clutch back and forth a few times until something "catches" before the clutch is pressed all the way down. When the...

    how to remove bearing on Modern AG 5ft shredder

    Amazon... Bearing puller set was about $59 with tax, and the bearing/seal press set was about $30. Already used the bearing and seal press a couple of times on my trailer after replacing bearings and a seal without it once. I thought "this has to be easier" - and it is (with the right tools)!

    how to remove bearing on Modern AG 5ft shredder

    I'll pull it and check it again. It took a good push with the screw driver to get it in and it sounded like it snapped in. Nothing wrong with double checking though :)

    how to remove bearing on Modern AG 5ft shredder

    a couple more pics on bearing with snap ring installed (which went on a lot easier than it came out), and the seal installation. The big internal snap ring installs into the cap. The bearing puller and bearing/seal driver kit cost less than the dealer would have charged to install one bearing...

    how to remove bearing on Modern AG 5ft shredder

    here are pics of the inside of the gearbox housing and the cap installed upside down. According to a couple of pics I have of the shredder before I messed with it (and a couple of pics of similar gearboxes online), that notch at the top should be at the bottom

    how to remove bearing on Modern AG 5ft shredder

    Thanks again... the new bearing puller came in and it made quick work of removing the bearing. Other than initially installing the wrong seal on the cap and installing the cap upside down, it all went well. Knocked bearing in with a piece of PVC pipe that fit around the shaft perfectly. Will...

    how to remove bearing on Modern AG 5ft shredder

    Thanks! I had to use a sledge hammer and a pipe to remove the sheer pin yoke because the sheer pin created a burr on the shaft. Already filed that burr down, but will polish the shaft before pulling the bearing. Great idea on cutting the bearing - I appreciate it! I will at least cut the...

    how to remove bearing on Modern AG 5ft shredder

    Also, it's nice to see that if I only needed to replace the seal, it can be removed from the outside without disassembling anything. Overall this gearbox seems to be well made - both bearings fit in their housings nice and snug.

    how to remove bearing on Modern AG 5ft shredder

    Made some progress today and looks like I answered my question :) I removed the internal snap ring with one of my smaller snap ring pliers and with a couple of gentle knocks the housing/flange around the problem bearing came right off. There is another smaller snap ring before the bearing...

    how to remove bearing on Modern AG 5ft shredder

    Hello everyone, I bought a Modern AG Competitor 5 ft shredder with a Kubota B7800HSD (my first real tractor!), and when I revved up the shredder the first time I noticed dark gear oil coming past the seal where the PTO shaft connects to the shredder gearbox. There is a good bit of play in the...
