The final evolution of the IH sickle bar mower was pitmanless. The balanced head or wobble box mowers replaced the pitman with the belt you see in the pictures. Both pulleys come from the 130 mower. I think IH may have had at least a dozen different models similar to the 130.

My small forklift has limited hydraulic power. Fortunately, I had the smallest displacement Char-lynn gearroter sitting on my shelf. I think it has 60 foot pounds of torque. I only stalled it twice. Strokes per minute on the knife are around 180 with the forklift motor near idle.

I have a Bridgeport so I was able to center the bores of the motor's SAE #2 flange and the bearing cage of the larger pulley on the small section of I-beam. The 3.5" x 8" ag cylinder has plenty of power to lift the bar. If it was any smaller, it would be way too fast.

If you want more pictures, let me know.
