I’ve seen similar setups used for making a windrow.

There were two types of windrowers. One like this that made the hay into the center and there were those that windrowed the hay into one on the right. Same type just different set of guides. Good Luck! Bill Long

That's a #3 mower, 1951 or later.
There were brackets made to mount it to B, C, CA, WC and WD tractors.
I would think it could be easily adapted to about any make tractor.
It is interesting that it has both the wind rower bars as well as the pasture clipping wheel out on the end of the bar.
Looks to be in decent shape.

Check to see if they have the mounts for it. The mounts are tractor specific.

Number 3 mowers were made at least as early as 1949 as we had one purchased with a new WD in May of that year. Was thinking I've seen them mounted on styled WC's also with hand lift. Also, if anyone is interested I believe I have a complete sickle mower windrow attachment in a shed at the farm I would sell.

Yes they were made in '49.......this one has the straight lift lever which indicates it was built in October '51 or later.
Again,....Mounting brackets for the #3 were made for the B, C, CA, WC and WD tractors.

During WW11 alfalfa seed was in big demand (at least in the Midwest). One good crop would nearly pay for that ground. Traveling on top of the mowed seed crop was a no-no; so all alfalfa seed crops were wind rowed as the alfalfa was cut. Rotating pickups were added to Gleaner combine (the most popular combine in our area) platforms for harvesting the dried mature seed (a couple days later). Herb(GA)

As I recall we always had a field of red clover in the 1950's and the sickle bar windrower was used when mowing it the second or third time for the year. It was baled for hay the previous times. We had a self propelled Massey Harris Clipper combine with a pickup attachment and after the crop dried in the windrow it was harvested for seed. This was in the fall of the year prior to the first frost.
