Hello fellow hay cutters,
I have a CCM165 and am looking to modify it so it'll mow a little higher.
I'm thinking there are two options;
1) Install bushings above bottom saucers with longer bolts and away you go.
2) Weld some sort of additional wear plate to the bottom of the bottom saucers.
I'm leaning towards option #1.
Option #2 seems to be too expensive and too much added weight.
Has anyone tried either of these and what were your results?
One concern we have is if we go with the bushings, the gap between the upper and lower saucers would be greater and we were concerned with debris potentially collecting inside the bottom saucer.
Thanks in advance for any input and happy haying.
Mike
