Sickle Mower ID

[TraderMark]

Can anyone help identify the sickle mower below?
I think it's an older New Holland 451 but I don't know enough about those to be certain. This is the only pic I have of it for now.

Since my fiasco with the JD350 and the expense of repairing it, I've been looking at other used mowers.

This one is in my price range but they listed very little info about it. I've emailed asking for more info and am awaiting that response now.

In the mean time I was hoping to ID the mower and get you good people here to tell me what specific things I need to look for before I drive the 150 miles to check it out.

Thanks,
Mark

It is either a 450 or 451 NH. To be sure, look at the tag on the left side of the mower when standing behind it. There are 3 places to watch for trouble on these mowers. Call me at 270-528-3323 before you go and I will tell you what to look for. Ken Sweet

Thanks Ken,

I still haven't heard back from the individual yet, but if and when I go look, I'll be sure and call.
