Got around to setting up a Woods L59 under my D12 Rehab project tractor. Somewhere along the line, someone installed the side pully on it so the mounting; and mower drive belts were the same as for a CA. Am using the lift piston and pivot plate that I had from a B mower setup to lift the front of the mower...just waiting for a bracket to be fabbed up to pin the end of the lift cylinder (you can see the head of the bolt just ahead of the pison in photo 3 that the piston mounting bracket will be installed on). I can then remove the temp chains from the front holding up the mower and, after adjusting the lift chains, it will be ready to go to work mowing my game trails. Located a pair of D14 fenders (thanks Jim D) and have them cut down and almost ready to drill mounting holes and bolt them on. Altho, it won't be a "restored" D12, it certainly feels good to have it almost ready to go back to work after being originally purchased to be a donor tractor.
    Will mount the drawbar bail and install a pinhitch drawbar from my donor CA if it does not interfere with the mower drive or rear supports ------------- What this country needs is more unemployed politicians-and lawyers. Currently have: 1 D14 and a D15S2. With new owners: 2Bs,9CAs,1WD,2 D12s,5D14s,3D15S2s, 2D17SIVs,D17D,1D19D;1 Unstyled WC |
