Would like to find an "A" frame (think that's the term); at least one replacement blade; shaft boot; grease fittings; and and any manuals I can locate.

Also need one of those "U"-shaped doodads that pivot at the top of the A-frame and attach to the long bar at the center-top of my 3-point hitch. Sorry, don't know what this stuff is called.

Hi. I got excellent advice about purchasing a used finish mower at the 'Grooming Mowers Finish Mowers' forum. Also decided to resurect my old, broken 5-foot rotary deck. I am wondering if there might be some parts source, manual availability, or other info for an old machine like this. <br>
<br>
It's rusty, red,and has a faded white INTERNATIONAL sticker on the side rail. I can't locate a serial or model number, but know they're there somewhere. It's heavy-as-hell compared to all the new ones I considered replacing it with. No idea how old it is. Is this INTERNATIONAL associated with the old Farmall International brands? Anyone know of a successor company?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance -sdf

Thank you, gents. These comments have been enlightening and I appreciate your good counsel. I found a fabricator who's rebuilt the A-frame for my old rotary cutter at a very reasonable price. So that machine is back online. (My next questions will be about getting the blades off that thing for sharpening, and about the leaky seal on the rear end/hydraulic resevoir of my Ford tractor.)

I've driven the price on the 6 foot NH finish deck down now, to a figure I think I can justify. I will take a chance on that implement, too, and see if it makes my life easier or more difficult. If it's a bust, I guess I'll try to sell it here, right? Will let you know how it works out.
Thanks again -sdf

Fair enough. See these machines sometimes used by VA DOT crews in the medians and rights-of ways and pushing brushes at industrial sites. Nevertheless, getting parts and accurate advice can be tricky. Am looking for a forum for similarly-blessed 70's era Ford owners. I am not much of a mechanic. -Thanks
