Sickle Bar Farmall H with side mount sickle bar mower

[T-Bow]

Egon, good point about watching the fingers. There are definitely a lot of areas where not to put your fingers on a sickle bar mower. Beenthere I will have to take a look at the bar better the next time I go up to the farm. I usually go up there on the weekends. Actually I never even noticed the bow until it was mentioned but then I didn't know to look for it. Also a good point that when in the horizontal position the bow may flatten - I hope.

DonnieP,

Thank you for emailing me the manual. It will make for good reading and help me understand the parts of the mower.

I have a 1944 Farmall H and I would love to put a mid mount sickle mower on it like the one you have here. Does anyone know the model number and where to get one? Did IH make one specifically for the H? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Check all of the sections(knives), to be sure that they are tight on the bar.
If the hay/grass, is just getting tangled, by falling on the cutter bar, try going to 3rd. gear to cause the hay to fall backwards, over the cutter bar.

I don't know anything about the mower, but that is about the most beautiful tractor I've seen in years! I grew up on an H.

Just a note to watch the fingers when working on the bar. And also when lifting and lowering it!:thumbsup:

+1 re. safe operation of sickle mowers. If it's clogging up frequently, there will be a temptation to clear it while it's still running to save time. Don't do it!
