Lane Ranger 11,029 #1 Posted June 3, 2019 Trying to figure out what this is for? Found it in Florida and it looks like it might be a Wheel Horse Sickle Mower but very different arrangements on it. Has a chain drive on the sickle mechanism unlike any Wheel Horse sickle I have seen. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,762 #2 Posted June 3, 2019 I have seen Wheelhorse tractors with a FRONT sickle bar... believe them to be OEM product but not sure that yours in this pic is OEM> 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

71_Bronco 1,072 #4 Posted June 3, 2019 Maybe modified to use on a later style tractor? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 11,029 #5 Posted June 3, 2019 Derek England says this is a 701 Wheel Horse Front Sickle Bar Mower! So looks like I will put this on my 701 and bring to the Big Show in Arendtville, PA in June and the Portage, Wisconsin "Garden Tractor Daze" in July. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,409 #7 Posted June 3, 2019 Nice grab @Lane Ranger Hope you get it mounted in time to bring it to Portage! If you look at your 1961 and/or 1962 price list, I think it is listed on there with the model number listed above. I've never found a separate parts listing for it, and the only place I've seen it in any literature is in the early 1962 Get a Horse brochure. Its a small flip brochure that when folded up is only a 1/4 page size. Here's the page that shows it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
