My dad has this old mower(”brush hog) not sure who it was made by. We need flex coupler not having much luck finding one since we don’t know the brand .Any help would be appreciated Thanks in advance

when you say flex coupler do you mean u joint if so any good auto parts store should be able to match it with the old one

Perhaps referencing the shaft connecting the 2 gearboxes since that appears to be missing.

U don’t need to know what mower , if needing to know the flex coupler , don’t have the old one ? Just go to a hyd shop and they will get it or have it. I don’t see any flex coupler on there .

More details and pictures can help. Do you have the shaft and flanges? A bearing supply house can likely find the flex pads themselves. Some have made their own flex pads from heavy conveyor belting.

You are correct the coupler that goes between the side shaft it literally blew the coupler into pieces. I’ve found some online but they have vague measurements Holes need to be 4” on center

Pictures of the pieces you need would help. There are different types of flex couplers. I asked if this was the type that has flex pads. Is it flex pads between two metal flanges. Details from you will help give you better answers.

For what it's worth, I believe it's a Brillion rotary cutter, maybe 112" (model RSS112). They had other sizes. Measure it up and see how this compares:

Thanks you are 100% correct . Now to find replacement parts might have to end up making them out of some rubber belting cause I doubt you can buy parts for it anymore

Check out Agri Supply, search Rubber flex coupler pad. You could call PartsASAP, they might have something. As I posted before check with a bearing supply house like Motion or Applied. There are some on eBay. You need to figure out your bolt circle and diameters.

Here is a Brillion dealer locator, you can find the dealer near you and give them a call to see if they have/can get them, never know until you try.

Well, no luck finding the flex coupler anywhere. tried the Brillion locator but no one there had any idea about the parts ,so I work at a quarry I grabbed old some old 3/4 and 3/8 belting and made a pattern as close as I could, and usedView attachment IMG_0283.jpegView attachment IMG_0282.jpeg a whole punch to punch the holes out and it’s back together in action
