Phyliss 28 #1 Posted June 11, 2015 Evening from the UK. Just wanted to share a photo of my recently acquired 32" sickle being the implement section. I hung it under my RJ today (see Euro section) to see how it fitted, a bit snug but does fit. Pedal & spacers are present.Something else to restore.Regards, Philip 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine that various attachments came over along with the tractors in the past. I'll do some research.Philip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phyliss 28 #10 Posted June 13, 2015 Here's the manual for it:http://www.mywheelhorse.com/graphics/file/Mowers/Mower_Sickle_Front_32in_1955_CBR-32.pdf Hello Mike, A big thankyou for the link to your restoration. That will certainly be a good read & of great help when i get around to restoring mine. The manual is equally helpful to knowing what goes where especially once it's dismantled & painted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
