Hey All... I recently purchased a drawbar semi-mount sicklebar mower (for those interested in specifics, it says "No. 27. VA Tractor Mower" on the housing in front of the blade/bar and is stamped |-i-| - presumably IHC) It is the type that bolts to the drawbar, and has a rear wheel supporting the back end, has a wood pitman arm, and is PTO powered. I am trying to hook the darn thing up to my 1940 "H" and have some questions: 1) Are they typically bolted to the top side or to the bottom of the drawbar? (Under and hanging from the drawbar, or over and resting on it) 2) It came with a hydrolic cylinder (which works), two long iron rods, maybe 7' long with a bend in one end, which I assume are control rods to lower and raise the blade/bar, and a pulley which seems to make sense if it were mounted to the drawbar for the chain from the rocker shaft controlling the blade/bar height. I can't for the life of me figure out where it would be best to mount the hydrolic cylinder, or how (if) to hook up the long bent control rods. Any help anyone can offer would be very much appreciated - close up pics of ANY semi-mount sicklebar mower would be GREAT, especially (but not neccessarily) on an "H" Thanks a lot, in advance (I hope to be able to use this by Sunday....dreaming probably, but worth a shot) Pete in PA

Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
