Boone, Except for the paint, that looks like a definite match to what I have. I figure (as close as I can...) that mine is an old Woods Dakota 72. At least, that's the closest model I can find pics of that matches mine. What is the model of the cutter in your pic?

Mine is almost 100% except there is NO chain curtain on the front to keep debris from flying at the tractor (and ME on it) during operation. I see that the OEM(?) chain curtains sell for near $200.00, but am hoping to build something as good for less $$. Any ideas? I have a few myself but would like to hear from the folks here before stating what I'm thinking.

EDIT: Since I'm pretty new to the game and not great with the terminology yet, thought I'd add a pic of the chain barrier that my cutter is missing.

Mike : The cutter in my pic was not listed with a mdl #. I came accross it looking on Woods bushhog under all the images. vintage Woods bushhogs - Google Search
Also if you type in vintage Woods bushhog and look under images you will see others. woods bushhog - Google Search
Also WOODS 72-3, Used WOODS 72-3, WOODS 72-3 For Sale At TractorHouse.com - Page 1

Has some for sale,but they are 72- ? mdls.
Hope this helps you in your search.

to be honest, i would look more at the gearbox. (take cover off if need be) there should be some sort of plate or imprint on gearbox. to identify gearbox.

a local tractor dealer / tractor repair dealer. should hopefully be able to look up gear box number and figure out any pins/washers/bolts. you might want to get measurement for shaft diameter that drops down to the blade/blades. and possibly pull off PTO shaft from gearbox. and double check shaft size coming off of gear box there.

assuming the gearbox hasn't been changed out in something that old.
