There is no data plate anywhere I could see on this mower. It's the complete setup off a 9N. The adapter for the drive pulley on the PTO shaft was for the original 1 1/8" shaft. It's painted a shade of blue but where it's flaked off is some orange that suggests to me that it may have been state owned at some point or an industrial grade mower. The pulley guard has the "Ford" logo on it.
The individual that has it said he'd get the tractor running so I could hear the mower and watch to see how it cut. I went down to see it perform today and it was removed from the 9N and sitting on the pallet you see in the pictures. I wanted pictures before removal so I would have some idea how it went back together on my tractor. (minor alarms going off at this point)I was told several times that all the bearings were good. (alarms getting louder)I asked since I didn't get to hear and see it perform if there was any warranty that went with it. I was told "No. Not for the money I want for it. You pay your money and take your chances. (Alarms are going nuts at this point)
So, my questions are:1)Can anybody tell me a make or model of this mower so I can try to get some literature for it? 2)Anyone got an idea of a good price for this mower. This individual wants $500 for it. I was told the previous owner referred to it as a "Woods." This may have been a generic term and not an actual manufacturer. 3) Could have Ford made this for the "N" series of tractors?
