Nice load of equipment! I especially like the "gift". 3 bottom SC plow is very nice! Bottoms look to be in very good shape, as well as coulters.

Carl, The mowers are #3's. They were a rear mounted mower that fit the WC, B, C, CA, WD, and WD-45. It appears you have the mounting brackets for a WD or WD-45. It also appears you have most of the necessary parts.
I have trouble identifying the mounting brackets for the mower in the #3 picture. I cannot be sure what it is for.
Plow looks GREAT!!! Yes, you need a new or repaired tire but other than that looks good. I cannot help with the field cultivator. Perhaps there are other mouting brackets around.
In any event looks like a good bunch of equipment and considering the age of the mowers - there were brought out around 1950 and stayed till the #7 came out in about 57 - they look in very good shape.
In fact, I have an operting manual for a #3 mower.
Let me know if I may be of assistance.
Good Luck!
Bill Long

The one #3 mower has a v bracket with bent ends that fit under the WD/WD45 inside the final drives. If you look you will see two stud holes on each side of the interior axel grease cap. There are two brackets that mount here that has a 6" pin that drops into the mount threw the bent ends of the mower mount holding the mower to the tractor.
We had that setup on ower first twin rotor mower. Not the greatest setup. I have some pictures but can't find them now. will try to post later this week.

sorry about the washed out picture. you can see how the mount is installed. Easy to install if you put this part on the tractor back up to it and put the 2 bolts attaching the mower on last. If you try to instaa by lining this up with the mower attached you'll be there awhile.

I believe Matt is correct on the #63 plow. I have a #73 that is similar but the #73 could be adjusted from 14" to 16" width. Your plow has no adjustment holes in the mainframe.
I got a new tire for my plow tailwheel from Miller Tire; about $60 if I recall. The bigger job is getting the two-piece wheel assembly apart and cleaned back up. It just takes time and some elbow grease. Good luck. Great find.

The two vertical posts are the U frame that is the pivot point for the #3 Mower.If you look at the 6th picture it's folded back and upside down.

oh, ok, that would make sense.. do you know how to mount the other sickle mower. the longer arms i believe go on the lift arms, but what about the lower brackets

I have one of the #3 mowers but am unable to locate the mounting pins. Does any one have a source for these? If so please let me know.
Thanks

The other mount in picture 7 the long arms blot to the end of you lift arms. the bottom of the U has one hole. a Bolt through it into your drabar. and the two short arms go foward to the drawbar bail. I don't hav a picture of that mounted it's out in the tree row.
