gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,483 #2 Posted July 2, 2012 A-75181 looks like a 1964 serial number so may be a 42" model SMS-42-A or a 50" model SMS-50. Which one is it? Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #5 Posted July 2, 2012 This site shows approximate pricing and availability: IPL's at PartsTree Unfortunately, almost every piece except a few common seals, keys, etc. is obsolete and has been for some time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim 97 #6 Posted July 2, 2012 the replaceable teeth are still available. i saw them two years ago at the wheel horse show. somebody here must know the MFG of them. i bought one, googled the part number on the tooth and found the mfg. unfortunately i don't know where it is now.

zieg72 209 #7 Posted July 2, 2012 Did Wheel Horse ever make a sickle mower for the 74 and newer with the attach-a-matic set up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim 97 #8 Posted July 2, 2012 according to Martino's book "straight from the horses mouth", they stopped offering the sickle bar attachment in 1969. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
decksetter 50 #9 Posted July 2, 2012 Did Wheel Horse ever make a sickle mower for the 74 and newer with the attach-a-matic set up? I don't know if Wheel Horse made one, but I saw an 80s Wheel Horse (312 or 314 maybe? can't remember) with a sickle bar mower at the Portland, IN swap meet this spring. I don't think it was made by Wheel Horse because it was a different color. Yellow if memory serves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zieg72 209 #10 Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks for the info. I have a real need for an attachment like for my 180 foot of frontage ditch. Currently my son mows it with a push mower, takes 45 minutes and a tank of gas... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #11 Posted July 3, 2012 "OEM" Wheel Horse sIckle bar mowers were capable of being fitted to the "standard" garden tractors up until at least 1977. The mid-hitch has to be removed and the mower gets bolted directly to the tractor frame and the transaxle mount. They do not use the Attach-Matic mounting system. Haban and Didier both offered sickle mowers to fit many WH models. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
