I bought one of these mowers this weekend, seems to run nicely, but the sickle bar needs to be rebuilt/replaced. Its a 7 ft now, was a 9 ft sickle available and worth trying to find and convert to? also wondering if the sickle should stand up vertically on its own when the mower is raised up, as it doesn't.
 
You can't get parts for a lot of the mower. I had one the sections and gaurds are available but the carrier for bearing on the pto shaft is not available . I made my mine go because they neighbor had a parts machine and being creative but the clutch lift and pitman went out . Nothing like 20 acres to go and the mower dies .
My solution found a more dependable mower I think if I did it earlier I would have been money ahead
 
Just remember 9 foot is a lot more stress on a pitman and wear parts, I'm not sure how much bigness we should put on some of these machines that have already given us many decades of hard use?

Was available in 7 foot only. When you want the bar upright for transport, you have to manually upright it and hook it to the transport rod. I have an owners manual if you need a copy.
