Need flail mower help

[jjmarotz]

I picked this mower up back in 08 or so and for some reason I have done nothing with it. Good thing it was free!!! I am having a real hard time locating a manual or even any info on this. The serial # plate is too beat up to get any info off it either.

Brillion Mow-Sale 61"

All bearings spin freely as does the u-joints. I plan on giving this thing a real workover/restoration this winter and maybe sell it and use the $$ toward a Sabre Sickle. I really need help locating replacement knives. Gonna need 230 of them. I have entertained the idea of making them but not sure I want to spend that kind of time on them, but..... cost for similar knives is gonna require a second mortgage for 230 of them.

Any help or info is much appreciated!!

Hard Hitter: Flail Mower Knives : Hard Hitter, Wear Parts With Muscle

Both have a large selection of knives but Hard Hitter is setup to take orders online. I've been buying the standard (not "Hardonite") from Hard Hitter and they last a long time and stay sharp. My flail mower was about 20+ years old when I bought it and I've used it for about 10 years. I've only replaced the ones I loose and can't find after hitting something I shouldn't. Mine uses the spoon style with strapped D-rings but I've been making my own closed/welded D-rings as I replace them. Haven't lost any of those yet. I use the flail mower more than the rotary since it gives a better finish. The rotary is good for backing up under the Mesquite trees and for heavy brush though.
