PZ drum mower

[cedar21]

I purchased a used PZ drum mower at an auction. I believe it is a 165. Am attaching a photo of it. I was wondering if anyone on this forum might know more about this mower, or have a manual for it. I would like to get it functional this summer. It is missing the pto shaft. The blades have been removed as well.

Thank you.

Drum mowers very archaic and ineffective. Would not spend $ to refurbish. If cutting timothy or pasture grass for hay, they work (barely) but if the work is serious, look at the small Italian produced AG disc mowers. If using as a rotary substitute, save your $$.

I paid $25.00 for it. I have an old sickle bar mower, and thought that the drum mower would be a step up, though I have never used one. I have used a disc mower, though finding a used one I can afford is the problem.
