Finished today. It's taking up permanent residence on my 39 B. It will be used to mow along my lane and fence rows and will be going to some shows. I need to make a blade cover yet.

Nice looking outfit. Stop by your local fire department and see if they have some out of service  2 1/2 or 3 inch fire hose that they would let you have, might cost you a few bucks or a plate of cookies, etc. Split a length of it down one edge and fasten it with bungee cords. Five inch supply would work also and give more coverage.

Short chunk of plastic tile or a couple of 1x4 boards bolted together works well too.

x2! Only I think doing an implement is twice as time consuming, if you do it right!

What a GREAT JOB!!!  
When I was growing up I sure put enough of them together  
Our only  mower till the rotary came along.  Looks good but too many moving parts.
Great looking B too.  
Thanks for taking such good care of my favorite
Good Luck!

Could you post a pic of your counterbalance spring setup? I need to rig one up for mine.

Perhaps you could get a hydraulic lift for the mower.  If I recall they were a BEAR to lift.
Especially if that is a 7' blade.  Six foot was bad enough.  Five was not all that bad.
Good Luck!
Bill Long
ps:  Again - GREAT JOB!!!

Fire hose is a great resource but we like bagels at our department.
