Bush hog questions

[vidio1]

I just picked up a 5ft Bush hog brand bush hog. After hosing off 1/2 a foot of leaves where it had been sitting forever I found the data plate. It was just sitting there on the deck under all that mess, anyway any idea where it was originally attached? or what year a model SQ60R-4 would have been made? Thanks

Any pictures of the data plate and bushhog?

All the bushhog branded cutters I have and have owned, the data plate was always on the framework somewhere slightly behind and near the gearbox. Never on the deck itself.

It was just laying loose, I'll post some pictures shortly.

Look along the two supports that run front to back, and along the tailwheel supports for a place the data plate would have been.

For a year....call bushhog and give them the serial #

SQ = "Squealer" series. (that's the economy model) 60 = 5' cutting width.

Don't know what the R-4 means, but a Bush-Hog dealer can tell you.

Makes sense with that puny tail wheel, my other Bush hog has a tail wheel made of what looks like strips of heavy conveyor belt. It's still built heavier than what you might find at the local farm store.

Could be my imagination but it looks like there's two rusty holes directly under the U-joint, behind the gear box as LD1 states.

I'll have to look better tomorrow, might be.
