NH 617 disc mower

HuskerLyn · Jul 7, 2019

Am looking at picking up another disc mow. Found a used NH 617 9?10? w/ caddy. Thought to be 6-8 years old. He replaced the gear box, slow leak in one tire and the caddy cylinder. Has a box of knives also. Anything particular I need to look for? Fair price?

Check the amount of wear in components that power the blade carriers. Check to be sure blade carriers are in time? Also check the wear in bushings at cutter bar pivot points. Too much wear in pivot bushings allows RH end of cutter bar drag farther back than LH end.

Thank you for replying, do the first two shells spin
the same direction?

Yes I think the 1st two shells spin CW.
