Mowing Woods Rotary Mower Info??

[choreboy]

I've recently purchased a 7' Woods rotary... 'Cadet 84' is painted on the side. Does anyone have any specifics on this mower, or more important, is there a site for downloading specs or parts manuals? 800 ? I don't find much when I search 'woods mower'

Does this thing have a clutch or a shear pin?

Obviously, what I really need to do is jump in and spend some inspection time...problem is, seems it came attached to a tractor and I seem to have neglected the mower for the time being, choosing to spend time with the tractor....!

Thanks for your help...

Can't help with the specifics.. but as for shear pin or clutch.. will be obvious. A clutch will be something that is about 8" in diameter.. and 2-3" thick.. mounted in the shaft right at the gear box..

Should be a slip clutch on that model. I'm not sure if that's Woods' heavy duty or not, but it's a tough mower. Write here to find out if they can direct you to a parts/service manual: info@woodsonline.com. Also, go here to see 7' Woods mowers www.woodsonline.com click on "products," Rotary mowers. John

Kioti John and Soundguy,

Thanks for the info..... and links.
When spring re-arrives here I'll check this thing out. It seems to be a pretty HD unit, heavy steel and deck, and I think it'll serve me well for a few years. I'd like to take care of some suface rust and check into any necessary pre-season lube or oil bath needs.

Thanks, guys
