bush hog mod. 2510 rubber element

[tazzer]

I have a older 10' shredder somewhere around a 1992 i think.
anyways has anyone had one that has had the rubber element yoke burnout ?
the only replacement I find is going to run 900 bucks after shipping, I had to replace one last year and guess going to bite the bullet and get the other one now but you would think there would be a way to replace these with something that would work for a lot less.\\

I'd eliminate it and put in a slip clutch before I'd keep replacing it
But doing so might screw up the gear box
You can probably replace the entire driveline with a CV and clutch for a 1000 depending on what series driveline you have

Check with a prop shop they replace the rubber in props all the time.

You might give these folks a call I have used them on Rhino parts and they are reasonable.

On equipment that is older than 20 years it seems part prices if you can find them are sky high. I stripped a gear in my Bush Hog dish mower which is a 1991 model and it cost $879 to replace. I think the companies do this to try to sell a new piece of equipment.

I saw your post and had the same problem with my Bush Hog 2510 Cross-Shaft. I could not find a suitable solution so I resolved to repair it myself. I made a sequence of youtube videos showing how I accomplished it here. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwhmicqeII5D8vNjtG2oMeoor0AC2IW6y
