After hunting in the classifieds, browsing the web, and hoping to get lucky, finally I found something useful, and just this morning (and afternoon...and evening....but thats another story) TractorSam and myself went to pick up this IH Sickle Mower. I was pretty sure it was IH from the pictures, and looking at it today confirmed that 99% for me....I want to be sure what I'm dealing with, though, so I'll post the pictures up here and let the greater educated masses tell me exactly what mower I have.
Those are the three I have right now...those were what prompted me to buy it, site unseen. It's sitting outside on my trailer right now, but I didn't get any pictures of the loading process, or bringing it home.
Anyone know what that mower is?
I need a few parts, and thus, need some pictures of what the mower is _supposed_ to look like. Specifically, the lift mechanism, and the associated linkage. The Pitman and PTO are present, as are about 5 blades. Beyond the lift linkage, I think the only 'serious' issue is going to be the rear wheel. It's 4.00x12. I'm going to hunt around the local trailering supply places, as 12" is a fairly common trailer wheel if i'm not mistaken.
Anything I oughta know about these mowers?....other than I could lose my fingers, arms, legs, life, etc while operating them...
Thanks for any help, advice and pictures you guys might be able to provide!
