Does anyone know the exact weight of a Ford 501 sickle bar mower with 7 ft cutter bar and narrow frame? Nothing about weight in the owners manual. Ken Sweet

Our new digital scales said 460 lbs and I thought that was not right (too light). Looks like they may be right on the money. I will test weigh another couple pieces of known weight to sure they are calibrated correctly. Thanks for the information. Ken Sweet

Would it be possible for me to get a copy of that Ford Sales Brochure? Thanks, Ken Sweet
