Rotary Cutter Old Yellow Servis Rhino CY72 Rotary Cutter?

pinehillsfeller · Jul 8, 2011

I've just had my dad's 1967 Ford 4000 3 cylinder diesel (45-50 hp) rebuilt. I'm wanting to put his yellow Servis Rhino CY72 rotary cutter, serial number 1841 back into service behind this tractor and would like to learn the year of production, gearbox size, etc., for the cutter. The cutter has the number "72" stamped in the top of the gearbox and the number, as best we can read it, "58-1000-001" molded (raised) into the side of the gearbox. Is there any way to determine such specs? Any help appreciated!

A couple folks on here ought to be able to answer your questions.
If not I'd call RHINO | Born to Lead | Agricultural, Industrial, and Commercial Equipment on Monday and some of their people might be able to help you.
All I can tell you is that cutter was made when Servis/Rhino was in Dallas,Texas.Now their in Il.

Thanks, Boone! You're right, the serial number plate did say "Dallas, Texas". I'll try to give them a shout Monday as we're getting close to finishing up the '67 Ford and starting on the cutter.
