Rotary Cutter Help with Brush Hog?

[Mn Snowman]

I Picked up the old 5' Brush Hog pictured below! Does any one know what brand it is? There is no ID plate anywhere on it. I did see a picture of a old Ford hog that looks somewhat the same but the gearbox was not the same.
It works great but the blades could be replaced!

Best to probably pull a blade and measure hole diameter, blade length and any offset then search for matching blade. Had to do that for a 30 yr old off-brand rotary I have. Good luck.

Thanks, Any suggestions on where to buy blades?

Local tractor shop in WA had blades (and stump-jumper plate). I think a lot of mowers used same/similar gearboxes. Other forum members might have sites for reasonably priced blades.

Did you find out the make and model of your machine? I just bought one today and it looks just like this. The seller thinks it is a Ford but I have not found anything online that matches it.

Not sure but all the bolts have a "I/H" on them! International Harvester I think! I asked the dealer but they said it's so old they would not have any info on it!
