Hi guys, I am new to the forum. I am sending a certified check to a dealer in Michigan to purchase a 1959 Ford 641 Workmaster tractor. It has a freeman pipe loader, drawbar, etc.. I am buying it from M. Nolan Farms in Michigan. Has anyone had any experiences with this company? Anyways, I realize that I am going to need an overrun clutch in order to do some mowing. I will be using a 5ft rotary cutter. I haven't quite made up my mind about the brand as of yet. I worked at a tractor supply for about 7 years before I went into education and was considering their county line brand of rotary cutter. Basically, my question is, will a standard 6 spline 1 3/8 slip clutch fit with this tractor? Also, what are your thoughts on the county line brand of mower? It seemed as if customers had mixed reviews about the mower when I would talk to them. Some seemed to love it and others seemed to think that it was not up to par with other brands. Finally, will I need to run this mower with a slip clutch as well as the overrun clutch? I also realize that different tractors need different lengths of shafts for the mower. Will the shaft that the TSC brand mowers come with work for me? Thanks for all of the help in advance guys. I appreciate it.
By the way, here is the link to the mower that I have been looking at:
CountyLine 5 ft. Rotary Cutter with a 40 HP Gearbox - 2127248 | Tractor Supply Company
Also forgot to ask about hydraulic fluid and engine oil? What weight should I use? Will general trans-hydraulic fluid work in the hydraulics? Thanks.
