Mower for CA??

A guy told me these mowers were made for the CA? Is that true? Any idea on model? Did they work well?

How would a guy mount that to a B?

The #3 mower shown above does fit on the B.  I remember mounting them  In fact, if memory serves me correctly, the bracket mounted on the #3 mower in the left hand picture above looks to have the mower brackets for the B.  If the tractor mounting brackets are available they could fit.  There would also be a special bracket for the lift arrangement for the B so that the smaller B - C hyd. ram could be used.  Also, there was a longer hose so the hyd fluid could be "piped" to the ram. 
However, I would carefully consider the size of the cutter bar on the shown mowers.  It looks to be about a 7 foot blade.  The side draft may be more than the B could handle.  On the B-C side mounted mowers we did not mount a 7 foot bar because the B was not heavy enough to combat the side draft in heavy cutting.  A six foot mower was the largest we used on a B-C mower with no problem.
I am away from home now or I could refer directly to a #3 mower operators manual I have.
I know the #3 mower was made to be fitted to the WC, B, C, CA, WD, and WD-45.  I am not certain if brackets were made for the D series tractor.
Good Luck!

Dad's sickle mower for his CA is a mid mount or belly mower depending on who you talk to. Anyway it works very well,more desirable position allowing only a slight turn of the head to see it mowing. Obviously having to turn completely to the rear is a neck ache. And it is 6'.

hey 720 man,i have a 7 foot front mount for my ca.....

Thanks again!

If i end up getting the mower il need some setup advice.

U know there was a lil B on a sale that i was stuck. It had rear wheel weights an under belly sickle mower which was pretty rusty and the pitman driver was gone...brought 6 or 800 bucks. I shoulda prob done that but just seemed like alot.

the one on the left is missing the mounting bracket that bolts to the drawbar.  I have used mine in the Wd45 and D17.  Just for Comparison--$125.00 would buy mine. South central Iowa.

I mowed a lot of acres with one on a C as long as it's set up correctly the shoe follows behind the right tire. I see it has the grass guard on the lower fram the early ones didn't and they such up grass in heavy hay.You don't need to look back just put the tire in the swath board path.When you get to the corner lift hard right with brake and drop it right back down makes nice clean square corners. When we first put the u shaped bar on the drawbar we had to line it up so it followed the tractor. Also had to drill a hole for dads non standard drawbar support bracket. We used a sleeve adapter to go fron 1 1/8 to 1 1/4" PTO. Ours had a hyd pump that ran off the belt and just used a cord to pull the lift valve. The lift was from a WC mower.
