I picked up a 350 mower with a 9' bar several years ago, with the intention of using it to trim around the stock tanks, etc. It has seen a lot of use, but seems fine for what I need.
First - I have a manual, but it leaves a lot to be desired. Can someone post some photos of how to properly hook it up? In particular, how to properly affix a chain from the mower to the draw bar, how you have the chain set up, etc. That part of the manual could use some work.
Second - how much work is it to convert it from a "narrow" setting to a "wide" setting? I want to use it with a JD 630, and so it must be set to the wide setting, as the pto shaft cannot be connected to the tractor as the lift arm is in the way when it is on the narrow setting.
Again, the manual is a little brif - just place the lift arms and pivot shaft in the wide or narrow position.
I have started soaking the bolts with penetrating oil, and this looks like it is going to be an all afternoon job. Any hints?
James Howell: I think I have watched all of your videos with the mower, and I appreciate what you have posted. However, could you post one showing how you hook it to the tractor?
thanks
