Thanks for the explanation. As I said, I was 10 or 11 to 13 when I used Dad's JD mower and although I'm sure I helped hook it up and service it, I don't remember that much about it. I remember Dad changed the JD from a manual lever when he had it on the JD B to a rod that connected to the Touch Control on the C, and that was the way it operated by the time I was old enough to use it. On the Fast Hitch model, the F-H lifted the entire mower and set the height for the "base" or inside of the cutter bar, but the T-C lifted the bar. As I recall, the bar holding rod was pretty similar on the IH and JD and the IH had a clip and the JD had a bracket with a hole you stuck it through and screwed the "wing nut" back on (Or maybe I have them reversed... been a lot of years).
Either way, anytime I pass and smell a fresh mown field, it takes me back.
