nylyon-(Admin) 7,268 #26 Posted April 23, 2017 @Shynon thank you for the measurements, I think once I can get or make the c bracket, it'll be mostly ready to put on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,268 #28 Posted April 24, 2017 The piece that I am missing, is that welded to the ends the bar? It looks like it is on the other pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buckrancher 2,679 #29 Posted April 24, 2017 If I were you I would pm TIM and get the u bracket he has and grind the weld off and weld a new 3/4" rod on you need the engagement pedal for the drive belt also Brian 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,268 #30 Posted April 24, 2017 Already sent TIM a message 🙂 Finding that pedal is going t be a challenge I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buckrancher 2,679 #31 Posted April 24, 2017 I believe it's the same pedal for all the early sixties tractors power take off should be able to get one on e-bay or the wheel horse show Brian 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,945 #32 Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Karl: Like Brian (Buckrancher) says the Sickle Mower you have may be a 50 inch long one with the 1 inch wider plates set up up front for the 953/1054 and GT 14 tractors. A unique setup for them. I have seen people use this on the narrower frame tractors and they use a board or metal plate inside or outside the wider frame to compensate for the narrow frame and wider sickle plates setup. Also if you look at the SMS-50 Sickle Bar Mower Manual -there is a better description of the unique rear plate/frame setup on this particular model Wheel Horse Sickle Bar Mower. ! See drawing on Page 3. The C/U shaped piece should still be sufficient to hold on properly for use. Edited April 24, 2017 by Lane Ranger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,268 #33 Posted April 24, 2017 So idiot me never measured, I was given some documents which all mentioned SMS-425. The Sickle is in fact 50" long! The inside diameter of the box which mounts to the frame is 6⅝" which is the same as I measured on my 312-8. Are the 953's and GT14's 7⅝"? The length of the ¾" rod is 22¼" which matches the rod length posted by Shyon, which makes it seem to me that the rear mounting bracket "fell" off. This is certainly a learning experience for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IndyFord2 50 #35 Posted April 29, 2017 Looks Like you got plenty of help, good luck (my pic, just for fun) Had to play with input pulley size to get proper speed at rocker box. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
