I grew up with mounted mowers, and went to pull types. And I for one, wouldn't go back. Have you ever ran one? Sure you want one? Although a tad handier to get into tight locations, they have thier down falls to go along with it. They are harder to hook up. You don't just drop a pin, hook up pto and hoses, and then go. They don't trail like a pull type, and don't mow right on a turn. And, a lot of mounted mowers that have age on them, have a pitman stick. What a treat those are!!! If sickle gets jammed up (rock, stick, wire grass), you don't just slip a belt on a pulley, you break the pitman stick. And you are out of business until you replace the stick. And when you do, it has to be one with the same length. Many of the pitman stick variaties had a gear box that contained an internal slip clutch. That was suppose to be your breaking point instead of the pitman stick. If it went out, you'd have to take the gear box apart to fix it. Replacing pitman sticks was actual easier to do, than messing with that slip clutch if it went out. Head ache after head ache. Typing this brings back to many memories. LOL.
Anyways, if you buy one, you'll likely have to find or make your own mounting brackets. That is, if it came off of something that had a different set up than a Cockshutt 30.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
