Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Turns out it's a Didier sickle mower.

I parked my large sickle bar mower now in the yard, it's a nice ornament (says my wife) at the very least. Hopefully I can do something with the cutting bar next year. It will be a difficult project for me, but I like that challenge.

Looking forward to seeing what you might be doing with yours if you get it.

I emailed the seller and they replied it was sold, even though it was still listed on C/L for another two weeks. Now the ad is taken down. Oh well, I'll keep looking sooner or later something will be available.

They must have figured it was the best way to transfer power on a variety of brands of tractors and control the cutter speed.
Would not be a cheap date today with a hydraulic motor and pump.
Sure be nice to have if it the price was right.

Indeed, people were talking 700-1000 USD

I think it was to make it more universal . Taking little to adapt to different tractors.

Hehe here’s my sickle bar mower. Worked good. And you can cut backing up. 18 volt, I think, hedge trimmer. Black and Decker. Just another typical weird idea I came up up with.
Good thing with Grunt is, it has a bull low first gear and on idle it can go very slow, if needed.
And some how I had it hooked up so when you lowered it it would turn on. And when lifted it would shut off. Hehe.

@Propane57 , Noel that's awesome . What do you use to rake and bale with ?

Dave

@Propane57 great idea!

Had my old mower out today to get some pics so I can get it listed for sale. It works but is a little too much for Ingy. The space it would free up would nice.
