John Deere Sickle mower

I happened to rescue a JD #6 sickle mower today from the torch at the scrap yard. Would like to know if manuals are still out there for this mower. I don't bleed green, but just could not see the torch put to that mower since it is missing only a few parts. I am asuming that parts are still out there for the mower. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I was driving down a fence row with the fence on the same side as the sickle bar. I don't know about where you live, but in N. Texas trees grow on fence rows; BIG trees with BIG limbs..... .....need I say more? Ever see cast iron split open?

eMail open if you like.

Yours probably broke at the yoke where the cutter bar is secured by two round pins.

One of my 3 Stooges rules is never back the tractor with the cutter bar on the ground.

I broke the yoke where the cutter bar is secured by two round pins.

After inspecting the damage, it was evident that the yoke had been broken before by another stooge.

It should have JOHN DEERE, a four-legged deer jumping over a log, and MOLINE, ILL.

Part No. Z 1051 H should be on the upper cover.

This will make your mower a #5 Caster Wheel Power Mower.

The manuals for the #5 mower were printed between 1936 and 1956. There are a few differences between the older and newer mowers. These manuals are available on eBay at auction from $1.99 to $19.00 depending on the seller.

Many of the parts can be found at SickleService.com.

Tractor Supply is a good source for many parts.

There are also some forum members that may be able to provide parts.

These are good mowers and will do you a good job once you get them set up correctly.

Thanks for saving the mower from the scrap man and mainland China.

Hope this helps.

It does not seem to be listed at DEERE Techpubs, but have you tried calling them @ 1-800-522-7448 to see if they can assist you?
