interested in the mower......not the skid steer

 

[Laneman]

My guess is either a 501 or 515 Ford sickle mower

Sickle mower from what I can see looks like a Ford 501 or 515 mower I have the manual for the 515

I thought 515s were pitmanless and 501 had a pitman or is the 515 7 ft. and 501 6 ft.

Make of plow is MF, not sure what model, but does have trip back bottoms.

501 has a pitman. 505 and 515 are pitmanless. The one in the photo is a 501.

Daryl --

As noted, the plows are Massey Ferguson, and I have a set -- and some thoughts for you. Adjusting them is a little tricky. That round bar to which the 3pt. arms attach gets loosened and rotated to "aim" the plow, and if you don't get it just right, you'll make a mess of your furrows and, eventually, tear up your lower 3 pt. arms. Don't ask how I know.
If you're a weekend warrior as I am, you'll also probably not want to invest what it will might take to repair/replace the trip mechanisms. If they haven't been taken care of, the springs are rusted and either weakened or frozen. Having not ever had big problems with non-trip plows, I just welded the lock mechanisms in place and now have non-tripping trip plows. Except for being a tad heavier, they were not an improvement, at least for what I do, over the older 2-14 Dearborn plows that preceded them.
By the way, are the photos from Fraley's or Marshall's?

Good Luck.
