I’m new to the forum and have a question about the flail mower. I recently picked up the tractor and got everything running after it sat for 10 yrs. New plugs ,wires ,and clean the carb. Ckd fluids and away we go. Came with 2 sickle mowers , 1 running and cutting fine. The other is complete but a project. Now to the question. The mower is complete except that it needs new cutter bar bearings which I have already ordered. ( the old ones came out ok but are a rusted 1 pc unit) but the part that mounts to the bracket on the tool bar is home made and does not look very useable for tensioning the belt. The bracket looks original ,in pictures I’ve been able to find the tensioner looks like it has a lever of some sort. Could someone post a picture of the correct bracket and tensioner part. I have tools and equipment that are likely adequate to fabricate a useable one if I could just get a good picture. Also, I have an extra tool bar , (the curved one) I’d be happy to part with if someone needs it.
Thanks , Rick
I just located a picture in the archives that had enough of a side view to make the part I’m missing. it’s really great to find a sight like this that has so much support and information available
