Looking fora 501 mower to scavenge parts from

I have a Ford 501 sickle bar mower. There are two guides on the mower right beside the head on the sickle bar itself. One is a rear guide the other is a front guide. Somehow, I've lost the front guide. Naturally Ford/New Holland doesn't have any available. I've spent all day calling junk yards and friends trying to find an old 501 mower that I can buy to scavenge parts from. No luck so far. You hear about guys having old mowers in the fence rows, but so far, I haven't found anything.

There's a good used equipment dealer in Columbia, TN (about 15 miles from me) but they are in a two week vacation break. They're supposed to reopen on Monday morning at 8:00 AM. I plan to be there when they arrive.

Do any of you Tennessee guys have a mower I could buy for parts?

Thanks,

Webb Cutting Components shows the front guide, may be worth calling them about the rear one.

Looks like there's two choices, need to know if 5/8" or 3/4" thick cutterbar.

Thanks for the information. I actually looked at their website yesterday but, it was so confusing to me that I went on to something else. Based on your information, I went back to their site and found the front and rear guides.

I plan to measure the thickness of my bar tomorrow and call them on Monday.

Thanks again,

Thanks again for the information. I ordered three parts today from Webb Cutting Components. It might we a while 'til they get here, but I think that I can limp along with the mower until they arrive.
