I have bought two #5 mowers within the last two months. Paid $100 for a parts mower. I needed the yoke for my working #5 mower. It had a quick tach hitch that I also wanted. The cylinder was missing, gearbox lid was missing, otherwise a complete mower. Paid $175 for another complete mower which will be reworked. I bought a new tire and tube. Will replace the knife and pitman. It has a foot lever. A foot lever recently sold on eBay for about $65. It has the "kick stand" and the front of the frame and another "kick stand" between the caster wheel and the yoke. Last week a #5 mower sold on eBay for $455. It came with a parts mower. A few months back someone was giving one away on Yesterdays Tractors. Since you know the mower works, you might want a minimum of $150 - $200. If it is an "old" mower (late 1930's to 1940's) with hand lift lever and no cylinder, attached to "L" shaped mower bracket and no quick tach hitch, a minimum of $200. If it is a "newer" mower (late 1940's to 1950's)with the lift cylinder and quick tach hitch, a minimum of $250. The working cylinder is the additional value. Other "parts" that are still on the mower such as the two "kick stands", telescoping shaft guard, foot lever, mower to tractor brace/support, and complete original drive shaft will add to its value. The knife, sections, and pitman can be bought at Tractor Supply. Carlisle manufactures the 4.00 X 9 caster wheel tire and tube. I really enjoy using my #5 cycle mower. Good for mowing under trees, over terraces, and close to fences. Hope this helps.
