Haban Sickle Mower ID and help
Hi Guys,
I have a Haban Sickle Bar Mower that was purchased new with a 1963 model 70 cub cadet. Unfortunately I had to dig it out of 6" of leaves and pine straw where it had been resting for about 15 years. The owner said it was in operating condition when parked. It's pretty rusty and stuck but I think it's salvageable. It appears to be complete. The mounts are still on the tractor. I have no experience with a sickle mower and have several questions that I need some help with. The ID tag is hard to read but I believe it says model 40202.. does this seem right? I see that some have a letter suffix but I don't know how to ID mine. Are parts available for it? especially the cutter bar or knife blades? I know they are sought after by collectors but how well do they actually work? I have a long ditch out in front of my business that I would like to mow with it. Do they work well for ditches? Any info, comments, links to manuals, pictures greatly appreciated!! Once I get it mounted I will leave it on the tractor. It will be a dedicated machine just for mowing the ditch and under the fence. I've been soaking it in penetrating oil for several months now. Any tips on getting it freed up and running? Thanks in advance for any help!

A manual would be most helpful. I'll shoot you an email I found some info elsewhere that indicated it may be a 402 A. What are the differences? Thanks

Thanks for the info Sam and Lew,
Mine has the one piece shaft, no guard and bolt on front brackets, so it must be a 402-A. I was figuring it may be an "A" since I know it was purchased in late 1963. The guy says he has all the original paperwork and manuals, but he hasn't been able to find it. His dad bought the whole package new in 1963. He remembers bringing it all home from the dealer. A 70 Cub Cadet, Haban sickle mower, 38" IH deck, Brinly sleeve adapter, Brinly bottom plow, Brinly cultivator, and an IH blade. Remarkably it was all still together. He later bought a complete 10hp Kohler and replaced the 7hp

you may want to look here for cutter bar parts, I'm running their blade in a 7ft IH balanced head mower with great results.

Thanks for the lead.. the knives and cutter bar were the main part that I was worried about finding. If I can get it freed up im sure I will need some parts from these people. Glad to know they work well.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
