I have the A16 or A17 rear mount mower for the Super A. This mower probably went on the original Farmall A since it has a hand lift arm on it. This mower is old and worn and keeps breaking pitman arms. Not good when you are trying to get some hay in. Two questions;
1) The sickle bar hold downs are worn bad and the one nearest the pitman connection is broken. Is this the possible source of breaking pitman arms. I seem to be fine in light hay, but if I get in heavy grass hay then it breaks quicker.
2) The clamp connection to the pitman arm seems to get very warm due to metal on metal connection. Do you just put some grease on this connection to keep it cooler?
Some of you are going to tell me to just get someone to come in and mow the four acres for me, however there is still some fun in doing it yourself and seeing the equipment work good in doing this.

You should be able to get the parts or at least parts that will work from a C-IH dealer or a GOOD farm supply store. Bad hold-downs may be contributing to your problem, or you may have something that is wore so bad that its throwing the sickle out of time. The sickle should be changing directions with the center of each section directly under a guard. There are adjustments to make this happen, it might be out of adjustment. Worse case is that it may be wore so bad that it can't be timed. Then you need to find a machine shop that can rebuild those worn parts for you. Check your book for timing adjustments.
