I picked up a Ford 917 offset flail mower today for what I think is a great price. Here's a few pics. The cutting width is about 6'4", and it has either 36 or 48 hammers with shackles. I didn't count them because I saw there were less than 50, and that's all I cared about. The body is heavy & solid, except for a short length of an inside joint to the roller cover. Everything turns smoothly, the belt is fine and the bearings appear to be fine. It apparently had been lubed well, from all indications.
What puzzles me is the box beam that has been cut off. Can anyone tell me what the heck that was for? I'll even take jokes!
Also, can the offset be adjusted? It almost looks like it can, but some welds puzzle me.
Thanks for any help.
