New to me Hardee Rotary Cutteer

[Wasmeneh]

I recently purchased a Ford 1920 that came with an older 5 foot Hardee Rotary cutter. I can't find any ID numbers on it and it needs new blades. Is there a normal size for a 5 foot cutter or is brand/model specific?

I can try to measure the ones on there but they are badly worn so I don't know if it would be accurate.

Thanks in advance
Mike

Hardee is now operating as EVH Manufacturing in Loris SC. I have ordered new blades bolts seals for my Hardee T 52 LT that my dad bought new in 1969. When I called EVH I had to go thru couple of persons until I finally got to their longest serving employee who was able to help me get nos parts for my rotary cutter. I also have a 1987 sales catalog that shows the entire Hardee line of products. There are several different models of rotary cutters so a picture would help if you need to know which one you need parts for. E bay and Amazon couldn't help so give these folks a call 803-357-4051 this was just 2 years ago. Also got the decals to go back on mine. If you send me pm will try to help more,picture would really help. Good luck to all on your projects

Cutters are not brand specific. If you move a cutter from one tractor to another you may need to get a different length PTO shaft. Rule of thumb seems to be about one foot of cutter for every five tractor horsepower.

This may be a "Tiger" model Hardee Rotary cutter, yes I know I have a leak in the upper seal.

I measured what remains of one of the remaining blades ( so worn they come to a point) looks like 20" with at least 2 " to the inside of the cutter.

Looks like a C-60, model tag with serial number is visible on upright welded to deck near rear wheel mount

Boy do I feel like a dummy, I thought I looked everywhere. It is C-160-It. Thanks everybody.
