Implement Parts for Vidor
From Vidor, FM 105 runs north to U.S. 96 and the store. Before you make that drive, send us a parts request online. Tell us the implement, the part and what happened to it, and add a photo. The counter handles common wear items, like cutter blades, rake tines, baler belts and box blade edges. It can order the rest. Western Orange County's ground is level and low. Even so, brush and roots still wear on steel.
The parts counter carries the belts, filters and wear items that keep your tractor, implement or mower running on your place. Hydraulic fittings, blades and other wear parts are usually the first things to go on equipment that works hard. When something breaks, you don't need a long explanation, you need the part. Tell the counter what you're running and what broke, then ask about the piece you need. A clear description of the problem helps track down the right part. Can't make it in today? Send us a parts request online instead of making the trip. That way your equipment gets back to work instead of sitting parked in the shed.

Questions people ask
What wears out on a PTO shaft?
The U-joints, the shield and the slip clutch or shear bolt. A PTO shaft's U-joints carry the turning load, and they wear when they're run dry or at a sharp angle. A worn joint clunks or shakes. The plastic shield can crack or break, and it has to be replaced before you run the shaft. It's what keeps clothing from wrapping. On a cutter, the shear bolt or slip clutch protects the driveline from a stump strike. Look all three over before you hook up.
Do baler belts need replacing all at once?
Not always. A round baler's belts can be replaced one at a time when one is damaged. Still, belts that are badly worn or stretched unevenly can make a poor bale, and replacing the set keeps them matched. Look them over for cracks, tears and frayed edges. Check the lacing where the ends join. A belt that's slipping or tracking off to one side is worth a close look too. Tell the counter your baler's make and model when you ask about belts.
What helps the counter get the right part the first time?
The implement's model and serial number, plus a photo. The numbers sit on a tag or plate on the frame. A photo of the broken part shows what it is, even if you don't know its name. Another of the whole implement shows where it fits. Write down what happened, since a bent part and a worn part can point to different fixes. If the tag is unreadable, send more photos. With those in hand, you're far less likely to get a near miss.
What spares are smart to have for a rotary cutter?
Shear bolts, a set of blades and the blade bolts. A shear bolt breaks on a stump strike, so a spare in the toolbox gets you back to cutting in the field. Blades are replaced in pairs to keep the deck balanced, so a matched set is the one to have. Blade bolts wear along with the blades. Carry the wrench that fits them too. If your cutter uses a slip clutch instead, ask about its friction plates. You'll find the shear bolt is the spare you use most.
How do I know a bearing on my implement is going bad?
Heat, noise and play are the signs. A bad bearing runs hot after a short run, and it may growl or squeal. Rock the wheel or shaft it carries, and you'll feel looseness if it's worn. Grease leaking out, or a seal that's gone, lets in dirt and speeds the wear. On rakes, balers and cutters alike, catch it early, since a seized bearing can damage the shaft. Send us a parts request online with the implement and where the bearing sits.
