Bushhog FlexWing Mower Identification

[michael dixon]

Hello friends. I have a Bushhog Flexwing mower and I am trying to determine the model number so I can replace U-joints, etc. I bought it at a farm auction and only number I can find is on central gearbox and it is 70535 (type) and serial number is 08 101659 (I think, kind of marred). When I search this number on Google,etc, it always brings up GERMANBLISS, I think a parts supplier. I just want to get this thing in good shape and need to know where I can get appropriate PTO parts. It appears to have been painted at one time and if I knew the exact location of the tag I could look to see if it might have been painted over, etc, and maybe find the model number. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post a pic? Might help a lot. Bushhog is bad about using different suppliers of PTO parts on the same model. I had a heck of a time figuring out a U joint on my 2615L. The good thing is that if you call there parts help line they are real helpful and friendly. Once you figure out what you have the parts manual can be downloaded for free.

70535 is the part number for the gearbox.
It is a Bush Hog brand cutter.

Thank you both. My son in law is dismantling one of the U-joints and hopes he can match it. I'll try and post some pics as soon as I can. I still want to know the exact model number if I can find it. It appears to be a little older version of the 2615 or similar.

A Bush Hog 315 would predate the 2615. You could check the parts catalog to see if it uses that gearbox.
