Rotary Cutter Help Identifying model number on this old Bush Hog

[Mtt2961]

Hello, first post. I was given this old JD rotary cutter and I'm trying to identify the model number to get the manual and parts. It needs new universal joints and as you can see PAINT.

I have googled every JD rotary that back to the 70's I could find and still no luck identifying this one.

Can anyone help with this 5 foot oldie but hopefully goodie?

Type/Serial number: KO205/005935W. I think.

Thanks

Clearly it's not a Bush Hog, but as the tag says, a John Deere. Deereparts lists a 205 model of the Gyramor series, and that's what yours is.

Thanks for identifying this for me. Not having any experience with a rotary cutter or bush hog, what are the differences and will this be a good cutter if I get the u joints replaced?

Thanks.

While the term "Bush Hog" is commonly used for a rotary cutter, it is actually a brand name. It's like calling all tissues Kleenex.
