| Hey everyone, i recently just got my great grandfathers 1949 model c tractor running after sitting for 9 years. im interested in finding a belly mount sickle mower for it because the tractor used to have one on it. How do i know if a mower i find will fit it? is there a certain model number? Thanks. |

You're looking for what most refer to as the B/C sickle mower. It fits both the B and C. ------------- '41 C w/Woods L503 mower, #3 mower, 2-way plows for C |

Well there will be 2 pieces of square tubing with flat ends on them
pointing to the rear that mount on the drawbar. Toward the front there
will be a piece of angle iron, or flat steel that has 2 holes in it to
mount on the front of the torque tube on both sides. They are either 5 foot or 6 foot cutter bars and here is a picture of ours mounted on our '45 C. Hope this helps. ------------- 30+ A-Cs ranging from a 1928 20-35, to a 1984 8070FWA, Gleaner R52 |

On a related note (maybe this will even help the original poster) what would one of these sickle bars be worth? A guy near me wanted 500 for one that needed paint but was in good mechanical shape and had all pulleys, brackets etc... was that a fair price? I passed on it last summer because I thought it was a bit high. ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |

| 500 is a fair price. I've seen them go above that for a completely rebuilt one. I've also seen a few fence row specials (completely seized and rusted) go for 100. |
