Woods 42 mower help

[Indianacub74]

I have what I believe to be a woods 42 belly mower. I have looked at a few diagrams and think it is either a c-2 or a c-4. As the diagrams look the same. What I'm trying to figure out is are the parts diffrent for the 2 mowers. Example bearings,seals, blades.

post a picture of what you have

I can't say for sure, but maybe you can compare a few parts in the various model manuals:

It may be easier to use https://www.messicks.com/vendor/woods to find parts numbers and differences.

I know that the -6 mounts with a pin, not a bolt. it also uses a different belt. But like you I have found very little difference with the other - numbers.

trying to post a picture and says its to large to post. I'll try to figure out what is wrong with picture file. As for the mower I know for sure it's not a c6 cause those the arms detach from the deck. My arms are welded on to the deck. I know I'm missing some parts to lift the deck. Instead they have a chain. Other than that it looks just like the one you all have showed me.
I can take my belt in and match it. That's not that big of a deal. But I want to put a new set of blades on it. But really wasn't sure what to get. Or are they the same blade.

On messick they only have one kind of blades out the 3.

You may do better at agi supply https://www.agrisupply.com/bush-hog-bla ... e/p/10511/ for the blade

Also missing the pully shield. That I'm not worried about.
I do think that I need a belt guide on the deck.

The spindle for the c-2 and the c-4 are the same I believe. They came with either a fixed blade or a quick change blade.

 

[Indianacub74]

Does the clutch in the pully need to be greased or lubed. If so what be best.
Is it possible to get a service manuel for the old mowers

There is some WOODS manuals located in the manuals section, Quick links tab at the upper left corner of this page. Scroll down to pdf manuals and browse the folders. Stan

if it has a clutch suspect its a C4 model, clutch needs to be oiled, the belt sheild also had the serial and model # on it, always thought that was dumb by woods, many toss the shield and the info with it

 

[Indianacub74]

I haven't took the pully apart to see if there is a clutch. I just figured it was by the way it looked. Would a basic oil be fine for it. I'm going to pull the mower out of the lean to. And service it here soon. Last year it mowed the lawn just fine.

You are correct.
