#25 Sickle Mower?

[steve08]

Anybody ever seen or heard of a JD #25 Sickle Mower? Cant seem to find any info on the Computer...

Thanks!

Been to jdparts?
Haven't time to look for it now, but am sure it is there.

Couldn't find it in jdparts. Is 25 a known correct model No. ?

Can you describe it please ?

This is the Problem, I have not seen it, Guy Selling Swears it's a JD Model25...I have never heard of a 25, Not found on JDparts or anywhere I know to look...

Old 'Mounted' type mower. He says it works well,

I'm Tryin to get info befor driving 4hrs. to look at it.

Have him send some pics.
Or a scan of the manual (if there is one).

Great thing about living here Steve the horrendously long drive to get anything useful. 7

He may actually be talking about a flail mower. Looking through my old Deere service publications catalogs that include pretty much everything ever made by Deere, I only see the 25/25A flail. Sometimes flail and sickle mowers get grouped together.

That was my thought too. Hoping he can scratch up some pics to help identify the mower. On jdparts, there also is a 25/25A 3 ph sprayer, but figured that was not a possibility for sure.

Saw that sprayer. In fact, my books show JD used the number 25 for at least 18 different products. Runs the range from a combine and an excavator, to the string trimmer I have used for 20 years.

The Picture in his Ad is a Sickle Mower, But not enough to tell what model.
He says it's in good condition... Price is right, But 4hrs one way... If he's that wrong about the model, what else is he 'wrong' about

 

[beenthere]

That's a good question to ask the man before driving 4 hours one way.

Can you post the pic here?
Have you found other model sickle mowers on jdparts to compare the pic you have with them?

Side mount or rear mount?

Approximate year?

Any other details to offer?

 

[JD755]

Just for reference, here is the JD 25A Flail and the 350 Sickle Bar.

Rear Draw bar mount, 6ft bar, Nice Guy on the phone... I need a 'new' mower, Curious to know what this thing really is, Tryin to justify 3$ fuel to go look at what could be everything he says it is.. or a Pile of junk, Which is what I usually find on These Craiglist ads.

 

[beenthere]

I haven't had the "junk" experience with CL ads. Just the opposite.

Has the "nice guy" told you what tractor he put this mower on, or not?

From the pic, looks to have a new (or painted) bar holding rod, and can see green paint. Indication it hasn't been parked outside.

Figure if the price is right (can't go too wrong for $75), then you can move it and we all can learn from your experience. Do you know anyone in the area that can go look at it for you?

Picture looks like it might be a #5, I got a pic on here somewhere of one.
Found it.

Can't stand it!! I'm gonna go look at it Tomorrow. So...if I drive my full size Pickup it's gonna be a POS. If I drive my Bride's little Datsun, The mower is gonna be a Gem But to big to fit in the Pickup....
