New project. Need help to identify.

[JimNC]

A new project, got it for almost nothing. Needs a couple pulleys, maybe just some lube, wheel forks need straightened, ujoint in pto shaft. Just need help to I'd mower.

It is almost exactly like my King Kutter mower. They are good machines if you grease them every time you use them.

I am constantly amazed at the amount of equipment that leaves the factory with just a plastic sticker on it with the company name and model number! By the time it is used enough to need parts, the sticker has succumbed to the elements, and is either unreadable or gone. Sorry, but I can't help with your request.

I would say that it's a King Kutter.

Agree that it's a King Kutter.
BTW, real Bush Hog? mowers still have an aluminum tag riveted on with BUSH HOG and model and serial numbers stamped into it.

Thanks fellers, it does seem to be a 60" KK.

exact clone of my older Farm Pro finish mower...exact.
couple tips,
when you get the wheels where you want them, either drill or punch where those set bolts are....the square shaft will vibrate out eventually.
check the nuts holding the spindle pulleys too, they will loosen.
Idler pulleys (weak point) are available off the shelf at TSC...take one of yours with you.
TSC has the belt too.
works ok for a side discharge, like said keep it greased, not too much, the grease seals are weak and will pop up.
If the front of your gearbox has 4 threaded holes with nothing in them, add a bolt to each with a flat washer to keep the front seal in.(some have a flange, some don't)
I also add a small vent to the fill cap with a small hose ziptied pointing down to keep the rain out...

Jim, I have had mine about 15 years. I buy one belt a year. Don't buy the notched belts.
Like I said below, give each spindle 5 or 6 shots of grease every time you use it.
Clean the deck after using it and it will last for many years.

take a photo before the tag fades away.

I always thought that the company that made those items was ashamed of the quality they made and hoped the identifier would disappear quickly so nobody could blame them for it when it failed. I hate trying to source parts when nobody will claim to be the manufacturer.

I bought a finish mower from Rural King several years ago. It had no ID tags at all and the owners manual simply said "FINISH MOWER" with a blank space above it so whoever wanted to claim it could put their name there. Apparently, even Rural King was too ashamed to claim it.

 

[RM-MN]

Good idea but I bought equipment used with no tag on it.

 

[steve19438]

that would pose a problem

 

[JimNC]

I had been working on it
Ken N Tx, belt gaurd was
out of the picture on the
ground.
