Rhino finishing mower

[pitbeast]

Last year I bought a rhino model rm-60 mower off of a local small engine mechanic and he "fixed it all up ,ready to go"
Yea.......
He beat the 3 spindles into submission and put some shiney new ones from Amazon back on .....
Now down to my question

Im asking the group for information on who makes a left hand turning spindle that could work in this machine

Rhino is still in business. I bet you could get them thru them:

Rotary Cutters - RhinoAg

www.rhinoag.com

Yes they are still in business but they are 500$ per spindle .......and im not guaranteed of the thread direction (needs to be left hand thd)

I had a Woods mower with left hand thread spindles. As I recall, Woods parts were expensive, as you indicate about Rhino. But they were so popular I found there were aftermarket parts, I think through A&I. I don't know what's available now. And I don't know if you could make a different brand part work. All I can offer is- good luck!

Have the new Amazon spindles failed or are you replacing them because they're junk?

Thank you for the information
At the very least I have a path to explore now
