Haas: I helped remove this mower from the B yesterday and don't really see the mounting pivots from final drives as being a big problem. The mounting of the idlers, I see being a bit more difficult. I am going to woods dealer on Mon. to either get or order blades. At that time I will check into the mounting parts and how quickly they could get these and at what cost. Cost will be the factor on my decission.

I will say however, I do feel quite comfortable with fabrication. Over the years of farming I have designed belt drive systems as complex as these. I have even done some variable speed setups. As far as positioning the B is only two miles away, and he had used it for about 12 years on that tractor. Getting measurments will not be that difficult.

I started preparing my Super A for mounting the Woods mower today. I have had a 1 point fast hitch on it for about 15 years. With the belt system of mower coming to the belt pulley drive I could see the fast hitch interfereing with the belt. I have the 130 and 140 as well and really only have two good fast hitches, and the third hitch I can use as a parts supply. I put the U drawbar back on the Super A, so it will become my mower and trailer tractor. Since there is only me and ocasionally our son or son in law, I should be able to get my 2 acres of gardening done with 130 and 140. My good wife will not let me plant anymore garden than that as I religiously plow, till, plant and weed the garden then I loose all interest when it comes to harvest. She usually ends up giving 3/4 of it away if they harvest. That one only has marginal success as most harvesters are not fussy enough to suit the missus. She tells me that if I want to give away the fruits of my labour there are more worthy causes. But gosh, I hate painting a bedroom ceiling.
