Debuting at the GIS in Orlando was help for equipment techs in rebuilding cutting unit rollers. The usual method of holding a roller is clamping it in a vise; the problem here is the smaller ones with thin metal can get crushed; leading to out of round situations. Roland McPherson, an equipment tech, developed and fabricated a jig or "brackets" to hold various sizes and shapes of rollers without damage while replacing the bearings and seals.

The fixture can handle front rollers from Toro rough mower decks all the way to gang rollers. 

There are currently 4 variations of the kit - 

visit the official website here for all the info on what's offered in each one. If you're not sure what you need, click on the contact Tab at the site and Roland will get back to you. Leave your phone number if you like. He has over 30 instructional videos on the Roller Tamer YouTube Channel repairing various rollers.

Roland has teamed up with Don Cotton of TurfPride USA to offer the kit. The TurfPride site is here.
