you should be seeing the pic now sorry

Looks to be a Hayter Hawk. You can decode the year of manufacture from the Briggs and Stratton engine model and serial number. Looks to be very old. The front roller has been removed. Here is a couple pics that may be helpful to you I found.

How wide is the cut on that mower? It looks so tiny!!

I believe it is 12" wide cut. I guess you could cut between the corn rows. :biggrin:
