Ok folks in my quest to find a good used sickle mower I have run across numerous brands. I then started looking at parts availability in my area. For the NH 451 it痴 a piece of cake. I found the same for the John Deere as wall as Case IH. Frontier is also available through JD. However the off brands and Italian ones are throwing me.
Here is an example of what I found for replacement cutter blades at TSC
Blade marked A- fits Allis Chalmers, John Deere, Ford, Triumph
Blade marked B fits Case, Field Queen Hay, Owatonna & Prairie Star
Blade marked B- fits Case-IH, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Gehl, Ford
Ken at Sweet Farm Equipment was kind enough to share the following with me. The IH 1300 is the same as the Ford 505 and the New Idea 522 and the Case/IH and 90% same as the IH 100.
So as to the Italian brands are they all made by the same company. Are some rebranded for US sales as the Enorossi Farmking brand.
Here is a list of brands I found locally and the internet for sale. Are some made by the same folks, and which do folks know you can稚 or would have a rough time getting parts for.
Frontier is made for JD, John Deere, Dearborn/Ford, Ford, Aktiv, Agco/New Idea, Case/IH, New Holland Massey Ferguson, Farmking by Enorossi, PGF, Rossi, Kuhn, Gaspardo, Superior, Befco, Feraboli. Sitrex. Allis Chalmers. Garabali. Rowse I think they use NH and IH parts. DCM Italia Hidaro branded.
Sorry for asking the tough questions, but I am trying to think ahead. It may be worth it to pay a few more $$ for a brand I can get parts for, that a cheap offer that costs me in the end.
Thanks again
