Massey sickle bar

[builder2]

Hi all,

I have an old Massey sickle bar mower that has a tag for the model and serial # on it. There is no model # stamped on this tag but has the serial # stamped on it. Before what I think is the serial #, is the # 238.
Did Massey make a model 238 sickle bar? And if they did, are wear parts (guards, knives etc) still available?
Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

I've seen several MF 41 sicklebar mowers sell on eBay.

Thanks for the response Flusher.
This is a belt drive and has a cast iron Dynabalance housing on it. There is no model # on the mower. After looking on other boards, I think it is a model #31 as #41 had a plate steel Dynabalance head.

I would like to re-build the bar if I can find some reasonably priced parts. I have had this mower for a about 16 years but have never found guards or a knife to fit it.

Thanks,

Paul
