Well dont get me wrong, the JD #5 was a great machine . Remember also, that I am adapting mowers to an H that were not meant for an H, it was meant for a JD or an Allis respectivly. So this is only how it works for me, not a judgement on which is better. First off, that round clamp mounting on the JD always gave me fits when mounting, it looks simple enough, but try it all alone without the factory jackstands or having the tractor it was designed for.The JD was a wobbly unstable sucker when demounted, and was a finger pinching ,cuss word maker to mount. The Allis sits there with 1 block of wood and doesnt wobble or seem ready to fall at any moment. The sickle holding rod for the upright position is bent just right, it also captures the manual lift arm and keeps the mower in the lifted position when unhooked from the tractor. Thats clever and well thought out. It also needs no tools and has a storage spot for that rod. All the zerks are easy to see and get at. No gearbox, no chains, all shafts are heavy duty and simple. It is smoother when cutting, maybe because it incorporates a belt off the PTO main shaft? The breakback is well designed too. I had some truoble with the one on the JD and could never seem to get it adjusted just right, it would unhook too easy for me. Keep in mind too, I have had this one exactly one day, had the JD for 15 years, so time may tell a different story, but so far , I really like this one better. It looks like it was made to fit an H !

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
