As much as your company's name comes up . . . I'd think you would get ahold of the owners . . . .![]()
Molalla1 was this for me or Flailmaster?

The tag doesn't give you the "907". It tells you their code for the model and size. So "22-124" tells me that it's a 907 6 foot. They were made between 1964-1972. Messicks has a parts diagram for the unit and some parts are available through them. Just search 22-124 in New Holland Agriculture on the left side of their home page.
The bolts circled in this picture are the roller adjustment.

The roller is currently set at the lowest setting. Move it one notch and check the result. If it's not satisfactory move it to the last notch (only 3 options).
Do you know the manufacture dates of the 917?
That would be the Ford 907. Uses the same blades as the 917, but different hangers.
Your roller is set to it's lowest setting. Good for soccer fields, bad for anything not flat. Set it to a higher setting and try it again. The skids are there as a means of protection to prevent bottoming out, not for riding on. The roller should be carrying it.
Yup. Skids are there only to prevent the rotor (and to a lesser degree the knives themselves) from hitting the dirt. The skids should rarely if ever hit the ground. The roller should pretty much always be on the ground unless raised for transport or doing something unusual like hanging it over a ditch.907 you say? Thanks! The tag is not very readable. So I'll look to drop the roller, and I guess adjust the top link to get the side skids up and out of the dirt.
Thanks!

My toplink is always set to float for every mower flail or rotary when mowing. It's only locked when transporting, being backed over a ditch or something.I use my hydraulic top link for fine tuning of the height so I can keep the roller in a pre-set position. I typically mow to roughly the same height. Occasionally I'll leave the 3 point set and float the hyd top link, depending on what I'm cutting.
