Help with identification.

Good evening! Looking to see if anyone can help identify this rotary cutter. Bought it second hand and the po didn’t know the brand. All the seals need to be replaced. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Don't know the brand but before you fight it replacing seals I would suggest using corn head grease from JD or grease gun grease. Been running a Bush Hog 307 for over 20 years like that, no issues. I would be more concerned about all of the rusted out sections personally. You don't want any "blowback" coming your way when mowing. A few pieces of flat steel welded in would help a lot.

I would second that of MF#1. I have an old stock shredder and post hole digger. They both leaked from the PTO seals. I put in corn head grease and no more leaks. I use the shredder really hard cutting CRP grass along the edges when prepping for a burn.

First would see if any if the ehafts will wiggle even slightly. IF so then they need adjusted if there is any then the seals and bearings are all available aftermarket from places like Motion industries or NAPA or any other good parts house can get them. They will need either the numbers off the pieces or measurements for them diameter width and inside diameter. Numbers are easier since if they match the parts should match up to fit. Ive used the cornhead grease in gear boxes also and probably go that route to start since it would let you find out what condition the mower is in before spending a lot of money on parts.

Ditto on installing Corn head lube in gearbox. I've put CH lube in 2 different gearboxes with excelle4nt results.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I hooked it up to the pto and it definitely needs bearings and to be adjusted but she spins freely and she cuts. Will be tearing it apart to get to get it ready. Wasn’t a bad deal at $250 and yes will 100% patch the holes. Again thank you will get some corn head grease and run it that way.
