B/C belly mount sickle mower part

old

Well-known Member
I need a part for my sickle mower. I'd give the part number etc but the manual doesn't show it well enough for me to find. Any how the part I need is where the Pittman arm hooks up on the drive end of it. It is the bearing housing and also the hook up point that has the 2 nubs that hook to the end of the Pittman. I have re-welded a new nub on the one I have 2 or 3 times and after a few hours of cutting it brakes again. So does any body have one for parts?? If so let me know or if you know where to find that part let me know.
Thanks
 
The housing only is part #802125, the assembly with bearing is part #802617. So far as I can tell, all the models with the pitman stick driver use the same housing.
 
Old,

My number does not agree with Jerry's for some reason. Perhaps his is a newer, replacement number (as frequently happens) for the same part. The number for that bearing housing from my original B/C mower manual is 308377. I was able to get a NOS one a few years back for my mower, along with NOS mating straps. I suggest you also look into the condition of the two mating pitman straps (301761). If there is any noticeable wear from a perfectly round, tapered opening, I'd plan on replacing those also, especially if you are able to get a bearing housing in good/new condition. That joint is fairly critical to keep snug and prevent premature wear. Once the joint loosens up and either the nubs on the housing or the mating openings in the straps start to go out-of-round, wear proceeds rapidly. I now check that joint every time I use the mower, sometimes even two or three times in a day.

Due to the fact that those items are wear parts, finding decent used ones can be a problem, although even worn ones could work for a while. If you want to investigate the possibility of NOS ones, check an AGCO dealer. Sandy Lake Implement is one such dealer. However, be prepared for a price shock - if any are still available, $$$ are involved - likely more than the cost of an entire used mower assembly.

BTW, the bearing housing, 308377, does NOT include the steel outer race for the bearing. That's a thin, plain steel sleeve that is inserted into the bore of the housing. It's a separate part, number 604476. Perhaps you can reuse your old race if in decent shape.

Old, I may be able to help. Someone has asked for the flywheel/cam/weight, whatever you call it, but they may not need the piece you're describing. How hard is it to remove from the flywheel? Do you have to press the whole thing out of the flywheel?

By the way, I just need to vent about the flywheel on these mowers... boy, they didn't intend for you to remove those suckers.
