Sickle bar mower ID

I have a sickle bar mower that connects to a three point hitch. The drive shaft is missing but it obvously runs off a PTO which turns a fairly long and thick belt that operates the mower.

One of the casings bears "MHF" "667018M2"
It is red in color.

Does anyone have an idea who may have manufactured this? Does it operate on a conventional drives shaft (It doesn't appear to)? Are manuals available? Hook up and operation are not terribly clear. It needs to be cleaned up, but all the teeth and blades are there, and are rusty but operational.

Thanks.
Jim

The "teeth" and "blades" are correctly known as
guards and sickle sections!

Sounds like a Massey Ferguson (MHF = Massey Harris Ferguson). Should be able to track down a manual at an AGCO - Massey Ferguson dealer.

It's a Massey Ferguson mower. If it has a pitman stick, it's probably a #32. If it has a balanced drive, it's probably a #31. Is the drive pulley shaft splined or keyed? Early mowers of this series has woodruff keyed shafts, with the drive pulley mounted on a taper. (I have one of these.) Later models had splined ends on the shaft, and a splined pulley. PTO parts can be had at most farm supply stores and machinery dealers, just measure your shaft diameter. I would recommend putting a rolling shield on the shaft. This is safer, plus it tends to wrap up less with grass than an open shaft.
