 Topic: No. 7 mower information
Posted: 18 Nov 2017 at 11:10pm |
So I just picked up a number 7 sickle bar mower this weekend. Does anybody know if a number 7 sickle bar mower requires a counter balance spring bracket to mount to a D14? I know that everybody always said it's needed to mount to a WD or a D17, I just didn't know if it was required for all tractors. If anybody has pictures of one mounted on a D14, that'd be very helpful.
Also, does anybody know where I can find any manuals for the number 7? I can't seem to find any online.

I found one for my brothers D 14. He said it made a big difference. As I understand, really needed on any model. It helps balance the mower with the
sickle down in cutting location. Den

Den, That's kind of what I thought. I haven't had a chance to mount it to the tractor yet but when I was unloading it, I noticed that gearbox was pretty heavy.
Gary, I saw your link but the book was sold. That would be the perfect book. I did some looking around on that sellers website and they didn't have another one. I guess I'll just have to wait for one to pop up again.

Good ole e-bay. If you wait long enough they have everything.
Yes, I second the motion that you need the balance spring on the #7 mower.
I know I had a devil of a time jury rigging one on a D-12
Good Luck!
