Ok so topping round a field yesterday and the topper stopped. Opened her up to find it had bust a shaft. Any one know who sells parts for them

I can’t seem to find anything on the web

It's a comer gearbox and shaft. You need to look there rather than rekord. Although it's actually made by cabe.
Personally I'd get a new end made up by and engineer. It's only a keyed boss.

Only reason the thread caught my eye is I've got this one same.

Apologies for jumping on your thread @holly smoke - but it sounds like you found a solution?

I have the use of a Cabe flail mower / straw chopper (model TS250) which is giving me trouble. It's leaking a fair bit of oil from where the shaft to the pulleys comes out of the gearbox. It looks like the seal / gasket between the two has failed.

I've not got any photos to hand other than the two below but it is an old thing painted pale blue, and has wheels on the back rather than a roller.

The box doesn't seem to have any serial numbers on it that I can see - does anyone know how I identify what model it is please? Is the box likely to be a Comer, as above?

Many thanks.

You don't need to identify it. There's only 2 seals on it. One on the pto input shaft. The other behind the pulley inside that guard.
Take the guard, belts and top pulley off. Then dig the seal out. Probably destroy it in the process. Then either measure up or take it to a bearing shop.
Will be a fiver
