5 ' Sickle Bar Itentification - Help

[Tucker08]

Good Morning,
I purchased this 5' sickle bar for $250.00 but have no idea what brand it is. The plate on the belly of it is a home made add on, but the rest seems pretty much original. It works great, just looking for a brand name in case I need to get parts.

Thank you in advance,
Scott

It has some characteristics of a older G&S mower? Ken Sweet

Its an International.
I have one just like it. We trim with a baby tractor with it. Guards are unique narrow design.
I will check the model number tomorrow.

does the mower use a pittman arm or belt to drive the sickle?

It has a short belt arrangement which goes down to a lower pulley to propel the Pitman Arm.

Thanks for the start on the ID. If you have a model number, that would be great. The US distributor for G&S told me it is not one of theirs, so I am hopeful it is an International. Thanks very much!
