Rotary Cutter Identification???

[tech141]

Looking at buying this 6' Rotary Cutter....

The seller says he thinks it's a Howse, but I'm skeptical. The Green paint is cover up and it looks like the original color is Yellow.

The Identaplate is gone and all/any identifying/informational stickers are missing as well.

Anyone have a guess as to what Make of mower this is?

it does not look like any howse I've seen.

JD uses gearbox covers on some mowers.. but.. I'm not up on JD equipment.

I know servis(rhino) had yellow equipment. some industrial JD was yellow too.

good luck on the ID.. it's not a model i'm familiar with. resembles my servis.. but ... i'm not up on servis models..

I have a Howes and it isnt built anything like that. I thought mine was beat up from all the rocks I hit, but that one is worse than mine. Looks really super light duty.

Agree it could be an old Servis,but by that tailwheel design and it being yellow it could also be an old Woods hog.

There are probably other TBN members that are more knowledgeable than I am in regards to this matter. But it is my opinion that it is somewhat homemade, utilizing different parts from other cutters. The tail wheel assembly appears fabricated and the side bands most definitely appear to be fabricated and installed. I couldn't actually see the side and front bands that well. Perhaps the mowing deck from one manufacturer and a gearbox added from another? Possibility?????:tractor:

How are you doing bullbreaker?

Well, I'm narrowing it down. It's an OLD Woods rotary cutter, close to the 72-3 model. Trying to get the exact model nailed down.
