I just bought a ford 501 sickle bar mower and in looking at pictures on the web to figure out how to mount it, I realized that I am missing the spring loaded top 3 point arm. The previous owner apparently had just used a standard top bar. My question is, what does the spring do for you and can I use it with a standard top bar.

After the mower is mounted the spring is tightened until it takes the mowers weight and the mower kind of floats along.I have forgotten to tighten my spring up on occasion and the difference is night and day.
