This came up on Craig's List not too far from me. Any thoughts or experience with them?

That one looks nice . They were made for the 5000 series . chains hook from tractor to mower and are adjustable . I have one that the center gear box is shot on . Some machinist friends say they can fix it but project got put on back burner . There is one near me similar in condition to this one on Springfield il craigslist for 400 . They are built lighter than my woods finish mower , don't believe they would hold up well over time.

Can anyone confirm they were built by Woods, just name labelled for A-C? Thought I read previously that Woods parts are still available for the 63 but there may have been an early and later version tagged 63 for A-C. Picking up a running unit on a northeast trip soon. Something for yard around shop as I need a reason to "lube" the D12 occasionally. Hope I did not end up with a "pig in a poke"!

FWIW....I LOVE my Bush Hog brand 3 point finish mower. RDTH72. I have been very hard on it and it just keeps going. Have not even had to replace the belt.
