Belly mount brush mower

[Anson Pope]

Hello,
My dad has a 1930 something international "C" tractor that he has a belly mower on. Well, a couple of years ago, it took a long roll of a short rock wall and the deck got bent all to heck. We strightened it out the best we could and he used it, but because it was out of alignment, it keeps throwing belts.

My question is if anyone knows if there are any manufacturers that make something like this. He wants to buy a new deck. All I've been able to find are finish mowers with the fixed blades. He wants one with the individual blades mounted free from each other so when he hits something too big, they will fold back.

Any information would be great.

The only one I've seen is the Woods. Their model 42 has a single spindle with two free-swinging blades, but the only size tractors they list it for in their literature are the Cub and A series tractors. The larger models are all finishing mowers with 2 or 3 blades. A Woods dealer can give a more complete listing of tractor models.
