NI 30A Sickle Bar Mower - back heavy?

Posted by Nawlens Gator on April 09, 2007 at 02:29:46 from (74.230.197.251):

Hooked up a New Idea Sickle Bar Mower (30A - pull type on wheels that I got last week) to my 140. All the weight hanging behind the axle pushes the tongue up and and raises the tool bar. The 140 rear hydraulics lift, but don't push down. Consequently the rear housing and drags the ground making it impossible to move, much less mow. I can either rig a bracket to add a bushhog type of wheel to the back of the mower, or add some kind of weight (I'm guessing 100 lbs or more) to the pull bar or tongue.

Are there other options?
Anyone know when these Sickle mowers were made?
It has several oil/grease leaks. Are gaskets, seals, etc. available for these?

Thanks.
