The Bush Hog Rotary Mower is designed to be drawn behind a tractor and is propelled by a power take-off connection. The half axle unit is integral to the proper operation of the rotary mower and designed solely for use with the mower. The half axle is an assembly which chiefly consists of a bracket, shaft and hub with lugs.
