Not sure if this is all factory, as it was used, and I’m not sure of the age
But I was surprised to not find grease zerks, for the spindles, only to be told to look under the deck, and voila, there they are.
and that it has a cutting height of up to almost 6”.
Also a few years of neglect, can lead to a lot of acorns and debris under the covers.

I would like to put a hydraulic motor on my FM and flail. Just not sure about heating up the oil. My hydraslide has it's own oil reservoir.

Looks like there are collars on the wheels, might move them above the fixed journal. Not sure though.

It does adjust to cut lower, by moving the collars around on the shafts. And moving the rear wheels to different holes.
I was just surprised it would cut up to 6” high, as I thought they told me it only went to 4”
I wanted it set as high as possible, to cut a clover patch.

I have found that cutting tall grass the grass tends to wrap around the shafts of the blade especially the center and right ones, so check every so often.

Your deck's leading edge is at 6. I don't think your blade height is, though. I have. the same setup on my 60" deck.

I "lost" my belt covers a long, long time ago. :unsure:
