If you adjust the top link longer it will probably do it. You'll probably have to make 2 passes though.

Yes it sure does. It's not the prettiest, but neither is the tractor running it, too. lol.

I've been wanting to get one of those for a long time. Good idea.

Oh nice. You got a good deal. Replace the bearing and you should be good to go.

Yeah it will cut after some repairs. This mower leaves the field looking great better than any mower on the market.

@@Lanninglongarmmowing did you have a belt part number or source? Haven’t got a good reference bc the old one on here is not correct to begin with.

@@bethl9825 Sorry for the late reply. I am using the mower today and remembered you needed the belt part number. The belt number I have is C1377 LP/C52. Hope this helps.

Yeah I know. It would look a lot better painted orange though.

If you have a pretty powerful tractor like we have which is an Allis Chalmers D17 with about 50 HP out the pto and you go through really thick grass it will slip the belt. The belt is the weak point in these machines. I wish it had a triple belt system. The belt that on it is a 7/8 inch belt though so it's a big one. Overall I am still happy with it. It's well made and cuts the grass as good or better than a finish mower. Plus it doesn't take up much room in the barn to store unlike a bush hog does. What were you planning on using it to mow?

Planning on mowing pasture-type grass about four times a year, knee high grass and weeds. I have a kubota compact tractor with 30hp at the pto. That’s really where I am struggling…knowing I have enough power.

@@LivingOurAmericanDream This mower should have no problems mowing knee high grass. My understanding is Ford originally made these mowers to go behind an 8n which has maybe 25 HP at the pto or maybe 20. You should be fine. Sometimes its better to have not enough power than it is to have to much power. The Allis will grunt a little in the thick stuff and then you can hear the belt squealing. What is the lift capacity of your tractor? This mower weights between 600 and 800 lbs if I remember correctly.

Kubota L3400 has around 1500# at the three point hitch, should be good. Thinking I’m gonna move forward on this cutter. Thanks.

@@LivingOurAmericanDream Go for it. You'll love how the pasture looks mowed with a flail mower. It's a lot better than a brush hog.

I had some trouble locating one also. I think I found it on eBay if I remember correctly. I may convert mine to a chain drive or 2 to 3 drive belts because the one belt seems to always loosen up and then slip. Then again I am putting about 50 HP to it too which isn't helping any lol.

​@@Lanninglongarmmowing Looks like I need to take a trip to the farm to take measurements! Why didn't I measure it when I was there? I thought, I have the model number what else could I possibly need? I even had a tape measure sitting in the console - AAARRRHHHH ! Lesson learned. BTW wow, the prices really vary online for the same typical belts. Watch your wallets!!

I know how that goes, believe me lol. Yeah prices vary a lot online but try to get a quality kevlar one if you can find it. The belts stretches about 3 times when I mow with that belt. I can't remember did I say the model number or size in the video?

I get mine from O'Reilly Autoparts. Gates C53. I believe it is a C54 for the newer model mowers.

$1200. That one was fully operational though. Fairly new knives and complete.

@@Lanninglongarmmowing I'm selling the exact same one for $550 in NY and it is operational with a new belt but does not include PTO

That's a good price!

I jut got one for 400 but has some cracks to mend and replaced some bolts. Really appreciate the video, as I wanted to get it going properly.

@@bethl9825 Did you get it on Facebook marketplace? I saw one on there like this one for $400 near me lol!!
