I just bought this rotary cutter (cheap) and I need some help identifying it. The seller didn't know the brand. He said the gearbox leaks, so I will probably need some parts...

It's a 5 footer, kinda red(ish), has a big/heavy round disk that the blades attach to (not a real "stump jumper") and most of the decals are gone, except the WARNING on the PTO shaft that the shield is gone. There is one decal readable, that reads *M-500. The * looks like the right side end of a letter is straight - another "M" maybe? Here's some pics. Anyone know what this is?

I have a 7 foot Mohawk, so I went out to look at it and compare with your picture. Nope.

$20 vented fill plug fixed the "leaks oil when hot" issue. Hooked it up today and it cut just fine.
