IH Sickle Mower model

[CJOYCE]

Hi, I'm trying to identify a recently acquired IH Sickle mower model. I then need to source parts for the missing pitman arm end assembly. Photos to follow.

I have one very similar to this one. Mine is for a fast hitch that goes on a 300. I have adapted to use on a Super C. It is an F-28 and
doesn't have the dolly wheel. What is all the electrical wiring taped to it for?

Look sort of like my A-16 but I know it isn't since it has a tail wheel which an A-16 doesn't have

Thanks Rick, I think this one has been modified and the dolly wheel added to convert it to a 2PH. The wiring is 12V and a remote for a winch - the previous owner replaced the lever adjustment with a winch to lower/raise the cutter head.

It could be, because the tail wheel might be a user mod addition to convert it to work with their tractor. The owner I bought it from was using as 2PH on a John Deer, but unknown what came before.

I'l try to remember to get some numbers off my A-16

In my research, the two differences between this and other models are: 1) the PTO pulley and pitman pulley are vertically oriented one above the other (not offset) and 2) it has 2 springs for assisting raising cutting head to vertical (most models have only one spring). Any model that has these two attributes is probably a close match.
