Implement Parts in Franklin, TX

Wear parts are most of it: blade bolts, shear bolts, box blade teeth, tiller tines, hitch pins and hydraulic hoses. The counter handles those on cutters, box blades, tillers, disc harrows and grapples. It handles bigger parts too, like a gearbox or a slip clutch. Robertson County pasture is hard on all of it, especially where stumps and roots hide in the grass. Not sure what a part is called? A photo of it, or the old part itself, helps. Tell the counter what you're after.

Start with the implement: what it is, and who made it. Have the model and serial number ready. They narrow down the exact part, since the same implement can change between model years. Then describe what broke or wore out: a tooth on a box blade, a blade on a cutter, a hose on a grapple. Can't find them? Look for the data plate on the frame. A photo of the plate works if it's hard to read. Send the details in a parts request online, or call the store if you'd rather talk.

Blades and blade bolts wear first on most rotary cutters. Rocks, stumps and heavy brush dull an edge and can bend a blade. Shear bolts or the slip clutch go next, since they're made to give before the gearbox does. Then look at the tailwheel and its bearing, and the gearbox oil seals. A seal that weeps oil means the gearbox is running low. Hydraulic hoses crack with age and sun on any implement that has them. Check yours before a long day of cutting. Don't wait until something breaks mid-job to ask about it.

On a box blade, the scarifier teeth and the cutting edge take most of the wear. Teeth round off in clay and gravel. They're usually replaceable without replacing the blade. Hitch pins and their holes wear too. A sloppy pin makes the blade chatter. On a rotary tiller, the tines wear down and bend on roots and rock. The drive chain or gears and the PTO shaft shear bolt see wear as well. Worn tines leave clods behind. You'll notice it. Send us a parts request online with what you're running.

No trip to the store first. Send a request online and tell us what implement it's for, what broke or wore out, and the best way to reach you. More detail makes the right part easier to find. That's true for a common wear item or something specific to your machine. Rather talk it through? Give the counter a call. Rather show the part in person? Bring the old one by the Bryan counter. Either way, the request starts with the same details. It's your pick.
