moe1965 737 #1 Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) I bought this sickle bar early spring and now it's time to mount it to my c141. It was mounted to a Jacobson lawn chief when I purchased it so my job is to make it fit my tractor. I have some ideas any one have one attached to a wheel horse that can send me some pix that might help me figure out how to mount it. Thanks. I do have the 90 degree 2 to 1 gear ratio gear box Edited December 7, 2019 by moe1965 More info 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll get some photos tomorrow, but I have this. The Jake Chief is a very similar design to the WH, just mirrored. The WH original sickle is very different and mine isn't of much help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moe1965 737 #5 Posted December 9, 2019 Thanks for pix and manual. I'll keep you all posted. I put a Sears sickl bar on a 854 last winter. I think this will be a little less involved but I'm up for the challange. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moe1965 737 #7 Posted December 14, 2019 Got it mounted under the tractor today . Made a bracket for it using what was on the tractor. Nitpicking a few things and now on to the drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moe1965 737 #8 Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Nitpicking a little moe then expected. I was reading the owners manual I got with it and found out it has a trip releas incase you hit something. It was all frozen up so I am in the process of freeing it up Edited December 16, 2019 by moe1965 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moe1965 737 #9 Posted December 20, 2019 Had a friend bend up a piece of thin stock just for a template to try and figure out how to mount the 90 degree gear box. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
