Found a rare 701 Front Cutter Bar

[Hammerhead 816]

I had my restored 1963 Wheel Horse 653 at the Findlay Ohio tractor show and they had a nice flea market with lots of garden tractor stuff. I was asking a WH guy, Terry Wolfe, if he knew of any good deals on rare parts. He said there was a rare 701 Front Cutter Bar over yonder. We walked around looking for the seller and finally found his booth. He had the FCB 327 disassembled in a heap for $47.50 for the blade section and $37.50 for the frame of it. He also had a WH wrench laying there too for $12.00 I asked him what is rock bottom price on the whole pile was and he said $75.00. No problem, paid him straight away! Some parts are missing but can be fabricated. There is a jack shaft missing a pulley and a sprocket supposedly. Also need the long bar to connect it to the cutter bar. Any body ever seen one of these? I didn't see any in the photo sections. Anybody have a picture of what it is supposed to look like? Much thanks if you post it. Hammerhead

I know of at least two members here on the forum who have them.

It's up to them if they want to admit to it. :woohoo:

I have one on my 701, no pictures right now, yours looks to be missing a few parts.
