I found an old John Deere Rotary Cutter (Brushog)for sale yesterday. I can't remember the model number but it was a 5' pull behind. The ser. number is 003. I have a couple of questions about this cutter. First, how much is it worth seeing as how the blades are shot and the deck is beginning to rust through? The gearbox does seem tight. Second, the blades are just attached with what appears to be a heavy, double nutted bolt. The blades are not even cinched tight with the nut so the blades can move up and down about 1" or slightly more. Is this the correct installation? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks a million!

They are heavy duty in my opinion. In good condition I've seen them go for about $350 here in central PA. Less if condition is not good. What State is it?

That 003 is NOT a serial number. It is a SERIES nymber. They didn'tuse actual "serial numbers" on some early models, models like the 127 Gyromor.

That cutter requires periodic tightening of those bolts holding the blade. You should not have a full inch of play. Maybe a little play but not that much.
