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.

Oops...I've only took mine to a show once, but I didn't have a blade cover.

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

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

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. ------------- 1950 WD, 1955 B, 66 Jacobsen Chief-O-Matic, 68 Simplicity 2110, 77 IH Cub Cadet 1450 w/front loader |
