Here are some pics of the DM-90 I have been working on. These are with the main units separated and the gearbox out. Will post progress as I make it. Tried to get a naked model but couldn't find a volunteer. :lol:

I hope that the gears and bearings in the cutter bar don't need any attention. Looks like you have it going your way.

I hope so too. They all feel good and tight. No noise spinning manually. I am taking the disc ovals off and refacing some of them in worn area's now.
The good thing is I have replaced everything that is really hard to get to. Meaning, tear everything apart to get to it. I figure the cutter bar is the easiest piece to work after having this thing torn completely down.
I looked at the apron support picture and trust me, the picture makes the supports look straighter and in better shape than actually are. I did straighten them this week end with a lot of heat and big hammer. I picked up some metal to replace the bad pieces also.
Hopefully the old Fort will hold on for another month or so. :lol:
Looks good, I am about to do the same with my Mower. But I know up front the gearbox is trashed. Can anybody help me out on finding parts for a Kverneland TA-226 Mower. I am thinking I will have to replace the gearbox. My current direction is pointing at the scrap yard, if someone can point me another way I would be most appreciative. 8)

I'm not familiar with that brand but you might do a google search for dealers.
Ok, I will give that a try again. My initial searches didn't produce much, I have contacted a few dealers and they replied with similar responses. I've never heard of that brand, ahh your website says you carry this brand... :lol: Anyway, someone replied in a different thread about bushhog brand rotary mower or disc mower being produced in the Kverneland plant, which gave me hopes about parts that might be interchangeable. I probably want be that lucky.

Ok, here's where I am at now. I have taken the main drive unit apart, cleaned, sanded and primed.
Painted but with the new gearbox in place. I am still waiting on the bearings for the PTO drive to arrive though.
Other side.
Started clean up and replacing bad metal on the cutter bar boom last night. Will update latter. Got stuff at the farm to fix so this has to wait.

You dont want to do bussiness with Mike, hes ripping you off!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think the mower has allready worked as the chick magnet. Go for the :heart: :heart: .
That looks like a heck of a project. I think restoration might be more fun than repair. Repair is allways done under the gun.
Looks like your doin a good job, at least with the nail polish.

Heck, who would have thought a mower would be a chick magnet. I thought it was tractors. :lol:
Yep, that's why I started this. Last year I had to cut and the dang old mower broke and I was out in the hot sun trying to get it repaired so I could cut. This is much better. I can do a little at a time, when I want to. This gives me more time to really fix it rather than bandaid it.

Tytower, do a search on disc mowers or hay mowers. Take a look at them and you will get the whole picture.
Crowder, dang don't you let all my secrets out. Prison labor is cheap when you can get it. It's a little hard smuggling in that gallon paint can. It took a long time to find someone with an orifice big enough to hold it. I'm glad you stepped up and volunteered. :shock: :lol:
