Name of fitting

[DThrash]

The reducer bushing that screws into the wing cylinder of a batwing cutter. The hyd. line attaches to it. It has about a 3/32" hole in it.

A "restrictor". You can make one by taking a fitting (about $4) and use a wire welder to "almost" fill it up. The hole you leave only needs to be about the diameter of a toothpick.

I found it under Hyd. restrictor. thanks. That was the magic word.

I bought a Vicon disc mower for cheap because the metal was broke right under the gearbox. When I called Vicon to ask some questions, the tech asked the model number, length etc. Next sentence he told me the problem....someone removed the restrictor because the cutting arm came down too slow (for Mr. farmer).

I rebuilt the broken frame, made a restrictor and am still using it today.

Vicon wanted about $60 for their restrictor fitting.
