CJ,
looks like a nice condition. What model/year is
it?
Now that my '41B is fully functional I have begun
the search for a #5 mower. Mine is a flat back
though, and the mounting hardware "seems" to be
the
hardest parts to find. I think they were cast from
unobtanium.
I'm open to any suggestions or direction in
finding a good condition or restorable #5.
Congrats, let us know how it works...

Looks like your <a href="http://youtu.be/ZLND2DifdD0">Model 39</a> mower is in good shape.

Should work just fine for y'all.

You might consider adding weights to the front end of your 40T.

Our 40T was a little light with a 7ft JD 350 sickle mower.

Thanks for sharing your photos with us.
 

Model #39 not sure of the year. Looks like it will work good on our 40T, but haven't tried it yet. We have a #5 that we plan on fixing up for one of our B's. Seems to be a quite a few #5's around, but I don't know of any for sale right now.

Good info. I was wondering if we might need to add some weights to keep the front from walking around.
 
Sure would be a long trip, but we have several <a href="http://youtu.be/rnH8n4KOYoU">#5 mowers</a> that are for sale.

(quoted from post at 11:26:40 07/17/14) Front weights are still available, but will come with a "hefty" price.

We have a wide front on our 40T so I'm hoping that helps a little. Would be nice to have a set of those weight's to hang on it.
 
Mr. Howell,
it WOULD be a long trip but I'd sure enjoy the visit and getting to see all your toys!
Please, don't go to any extra trouble, but IF you already have photo's of a #5 and, in particular, the attachment points/hardware I'd love to see them for reference whilst I'm searching up north here. E-mail is open if you have anything you feel could be helpful. I have no experience with this type of mower and honestly, I'm not sure I'd know if any important elements were missing.

Here"s a link that describes "[i:654c4848f0]<a href="http://www.retiredtractors.com/No5/index.htm">the attachment points/hardware</a>[/i:654c4848f0]" for the No. 5 mower.

Take a look at the information and let me know if you have any questions.
 
41B, if you do find a #5 I might have the foot lift for a #5. I'll have to check tomorrow. Came off an unstyled B and I used it on my flat back unstyled A for awhile. I really didn't mind using the foot lift. I could control the bar height with my left foot and still have one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the clutch. If I threw it away someone had better give me a swift kick! Jim
 
Mr. Howell,
Thanks. Most helpful. I've been to Gene's website many times but don't recall seeing his mower page. I found most of the answers I didn't know I needed to have answered.
Armed w/ this info I can search more thoroughly in the northwest states.
