Looks good. Does it have shear bolt on the pto shaft? Do check the gearbox oil and the blades. Of course fully grease it. I hooked up to mine today and surprised how dry the pto shaft was is reason I mentioned it.

Yeah...I've got the same one (5 footer)...bought it new over 12 or so years ago..."IMC" if I remember correctly is the manf....I also have a 7 footer w/twin tail wheels as well...these are well made cutters..IMC is now out of business (as well as I know), but I'm pretty sure the blades can be had at Tractor Supply or other shops..just match them up if you need some..BobG in VA PS: my 5 footer has a shear bolt next to the gear box of the cutter...

i have had 2 of them . Still have one and use it as my primary mower. Well built. It is a IMC,Agritech,International from somewhere near Bethel Ohio. It was sold under a couple of names. After the original guy quit making them, the employees opened an impliment company called Hawkline which was later sold to Behlen Country.

Any chance of getting a part# for the oil seals? Thanks!

I might be able to come up with the seal #. My solution has been to refill the gearbox with Cornhead grease. It is a thick liquid at operating temps and turns more solid when it cools. Unless your seal is missing or completely destroyed it will fix your problem. Most gearboxes take a couple tubes. Last time I bought it, the cost was about $10 a tube.
