Rotary Cutter Help me identify my rotary cutter

[Dieseljeeper]

Howdy, I purchased a Ferguson TO-35 with a bush hog and am in need of some help identifying it. The previous owner bought the tractor and cutter as a package also and has no clue either. There is an id tag but a repair patch has been welded over the top half covering up the manufacture name
The model number is B-5 the serial number is 4132. I think its a older Bush Hog brand but would like to make sure

There should be a picture icon at the top of where you post. Select that, then select where you have the pictures and choose the correct pics. Then upload.

I'm stumped as to what it might be, but I don't think Bush Hog. I believe Bush Hogs have the year as part of the serial Number as in 161234 for a 2016 manufacture date. My first rotary cutter 45 years ago was something called an IMCO. When I asked about it the salesman said anyone in Alabama with a welding shop was churning them out left and right. I gave it to a handy neighbor who still keeps it running.

From memory (it is on a different property so I cannot go out and look) my IMCOs diagonal supports are different. But it does look similar.

I dont know who made it but the gearbox too me looks like a Comer . Yank off a blade when you need to and match it up you should be good to go . I'am guessing the B 5 stands for 5 foot width cut . I'd put fresh gearbox oil in it 80/90 and upgrade my pto shaft cover , check my rockguard at least to me hard to see in pic's ... From the top looks like its in good shape .

Possibly a Mohawk B-5 like this one? Mohawk B-5 Rotary Mower, 3 point mount, PTO driven
