David brown Cropmaster mower

[john432]

Have one of these on the farm, semi mounted, to fit the Cropmaster range, the old storage shed has come to the end of its life. Is it of any value or intrest to anyone? Photo is one I found on the internet. John

I have never seen one like it and think it is modification from something else.
I would suggest posting this on the DBTC forum

Thanks @Exfarmer , David Brown Tractor Forum would be a good place, pity to scrap it. I can assure you it was designed and built exclusively for the Cropmaster, came to this farm new, the lift arms would be removed, and the mower bolted to the draw bar frame. The right hand side drop arm was used to lift the beam on the headlands etc. Remember using it a bit as a kid,topping some thistles etc , my dad managed to bolt it onto the draw bar frame of the 770. Think it was made by a subsidiary of DB ,Albion?

In that case it would have come from Harrison,Mcgregor and Guest from Leigh in Lancashire, later became part of David Brown in 1955 , Ploughs, Balers, Hurricane harvester all made there, eventually went on to make loaders,cabs and radiator guards when implement manufacturing ceased.
