Help!!! I need some help in identifying what old shredder / brushhog I inherited from my Grandmothers farm. I can't find any ID numbers on it. It does have a gearbox with WARNER, AUBURN, IND on it and some other numbers on the PTO shaft. It has a 6 ft deck, and no 3-point attachment.

Can't help with the ID, but it looks well made.

A long time ago, I had a 5 ft, made like that, got it at an auction, don't know what brand it was.

Some early Bush Hog competitors were ground powered. The rubber tires provided power to the blades through a gearbox. They had to be very heavy for traction. When Bush Hog's patents expired, shredders became almost universally Three Point Hitch mounted and PTO powered.

Yours looks like a towed, as opposed to mounted, design; so no lift capability.

Why are you worried about IDing it? You should be able to replace any busted parts with commodity off the shelf stuff. Gearbox, PTO shaft & blades are likely to be standard parts. If not, standard parts could be easily retrofit in as needed.

If I was a betting man, I'd say a Massey Ferguson. The gearbox style is different than the older ones, but still looks like a Massey Ferguson setup to me.

If I was a betting man, I'd say this old thread is a waste of time.

The OP has not been around for a while:
