Overview

Distinct from general brush-hog overviews, this short how-to focuses specifically on replacing a shear bolt after hitting an obstacle, and it briefly explains why shear bolts and slip clutches exist before walking through the swap step by step. Mike also notes when to leave the shaft attached and squeezes in a U-joint greasing reminder. Best for new rotary-cutter owners facing this repair for the first time.
