Those old Dearborn sickle mowers cut well but were a real bear to mount. And they needed 4 special brackets to mount them on a Ford N Series or Jubilee. Without the special items they were unuseable and finding those can be a long search and may cost more than the mower itself.
I had one of those but did not have any of the brackets. I traded it for a 12 pack of beer to a guy who wanted it for parts.

Looks like some parts, when it's taken apart like that (typically it is taken apart because something broke, it didn't get pit back together because no parts found....) and the shafts and belts all full of old dirt and mud don't know if anything really turns.

$50 would be a good parts price.

Put it together and use it and shine it up and everything is adjusted right and working great, and could be $500.

If the guards are in good shape they'd be worth something the rest is scrap really.

That mower could never be worth even a hundred for use in top condition. It is at least 64 years old, 1954 and could be back to 1948, and takes a full day to mount and 20 years ago Ford dealer did not know they were even made so no chance for any parts. Was hoping they had a parts book to tell me if I had all the parts. That was after I got it and before I found any books on it. I have one I got years ago and was going to put on tractor to take to shows, never happened. I did not have the correct brackets and a couple of years ago got the under axle brackets that are also the stabilizer brackets for $2 at consignment auction as no one else was interested in them. I still have never found the top link mounting brackets. Neighbor has one hanging on a 800 series tractor that has not been off in years and only used as weight to counterbalance loader he uses to handle bee equipment. Lucky to be worth $15 as scrap. Only way it would be worth anything is if it was all there that I dought and somebody wanted it to mount on an 8N that is anly taken to shows.

Wish you weren't so far away as I need the gearbox casting for a Detroit mower I have on a VAC Case tractor. Used by hi-way departments for mowing road ditches.

I have one on an Allis Chalmers industrial B (IB). This one could have been used on a number of tractors. Looks like most of it is missing.

I have never heard of Detroit Harvestor building a side mount mower. I do know they made them under the Dearborn, Ferguson and Case names in a rear mounted model. Some of the Dearborn and Ferguson were identical except for tag and paint, for the Case the hitch was different. Have 4 of the Detroit Harvestor mowers, 3 of the model made with both Dearborn and Ferguson names.

I have one just like it mounted on a Case VAC tractor. It looks as if the arms that attach to the tractor are missing. The mount on the end of the rectangular bar.
