EB is Emerson Brantingham. Not the worlds most common mower to come up with. On a horsedrawn mower, you'll want to be sure not to hit anything-the operator on the mower was responsible for lifting the cutter bar out of the way, hard to do if you are on the tractor, and I doubt there will be any kind of brakeaway on the bar. Make sure you operate slow, and check the bearings often to see if they warm up when you start. The difference of speed between horse and tractor can be surprising. If its one of the later EB mowers, it might be a problem, but an early EB I believe will have been built long before the idea of using a tractor came about, and the bearings will have been designed for horse speeds. One of Bert Benjamin's claims to fame was redesigning implements to be used at tractor speeds.
