I bought a HI CO 5' rotary cutter some time ago. I need to install new blades as the blades on the cutter are badly worn and bent to the point that they came in contact with the mower deck and chewed a hole in it (previous owner!). I removed the blade studs and blades yesterday which was a big job even with a large impact, penetrating oil and heat.

Does anyone have a HI CO cutter? If so, I'd like to find out more about this unit. All I know is the sticker says 'HI CO Laurel, MS'.

Where can I buy new blades and other parts? Are the blade studs supposed to be keyed with a woodruff or square key? The parts are so badly rusted I cannot tell but an old farmer told me they should be keyed into the hub.

I love this Tractor Board!! Thank you so much for the info. I have contacted Howse and they are sending me info. I was worried that I had bought a cutter made by some obscure, long-defunct implement company. I believe that Howse has a pretty good reputation though.
