[AT] Ford Flail Mower

[CEE VILL]

Mike,

I bought the one I have from a man in Clifton Springs for $100.00 and it 
came with a new set of knives which had never been used, as well as the set 
on the machine that weren't too bad. That was probably 8 or 10 years ago.  I 
run it from my IH 340u, and it did a pretty good job until the outer bearing 
on the cross drive shaft gave up.  Jennings Ford advised parts are no longer 
supplied, and it won't match to any from normal bearing suppliers. I have 
yet to shop the net for a replacement.  The mower I have may be some years 
older than the one you are looking at.  It was first owned by a school 
district. Hope this gives you another perspective.

Charlie V.
