    Aligning Guards on a Sickle Bar

    This is a old (new to me) mower. I bought it last year and plan to use it on a IH140. It came with a shorty five foot bar and I'm replacing it with a seven footer from a A24. I was a little concerned about putting the bigger bar on it because the running gear of the A21 looks somewhat lighter...

    Aligning Guards on a Sickle Bar

    In the process of rebuilding a 7" bar on a McCormick A-21 mower and have a question about the alignment of the guards. I"m replacing all the guards (and ledgers, and hold downs) with OEM parts. Some of the guards have nubs left on them from casting, which makes it difficult to get them all...

    Rear Wheel Setup for IH 21 rear mower

    Need to get a yard stick and do some measuring. I was thinking the heavy wheel would need to go on the opposite side to balance the weight of the sickle bar. Thanks for the input.

    Rear Wheel Setup for IH 21 rear mower

    Have a IH 21 mower that mounts on the rear of a Super A or 140. I"m planning to put it on a 140. I believe the right side wheel is cast to counter the offset position of the engine and drive train of the tractor. Also have wheel weights installed on the rear wheels. I"m wondering what I need...

    Not a trick question. Where do Navy beans come from?

    Things that make you say "HUMMM" What kind of plant does a navy bean come from? And for that matter, what about pinto beans? Saying "bean plant" doesn't count.

    Grease and dirt can hide a treasure.

    I"ve read numerous posts over the years by folks that are struggling with wanting to restore a piece of equipment to its original look but not knowing the exact paint scheme. This seems to be more of a problem with implements than the tractors. This may sound simplistic to some but it has...

    CORN % MOISTURE

    Never picked one ear of corn but I am a sponge for information from all subjects related to farming. Sooooo, a novice question I'm sure, but will the moisture of corn go up and down depending on the humidity? Or will it only stay where it is or get dryer? Thanks and good luck to all who are...

    Will clear coat make a surface harder?

    Thanks very much for the information/education. I have an old JD B that will (hopefully) be ready for a coat of green one of these years. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about putting on the best and most reasonable coat of green possible. I don't have the equipment (yet) to do much with...

    Will clear coat make a surface harder?

    Is clear coat only for making the paint finish look better or will it offer any surface protection against nicks and scratches? Also, can clear coat be purchased in a rattle can? Thanks very much.

    Trying to decide between two B's.

    Depending on how long you plan on keeping the tractor, another consideration you might think about is the availability of spare parts. I have a 1940 B that I"ve been working on (ground up restoration) and parts have been somewhat hard to find. Relatively speaking, there just weren"t that many...

    Keeping seeds more than one year.

    This might be a little off topic. I saved some pole bean seeds from last year (in the fridge over the winter) and put them out this spring. Looks like everyone of them came up. I ended up having quite a few left over and am wondering if I'd be able to save them until next year? Hate to loose...

    Weight of Hay - First Cutting vs. Second Cutting

    I had been told that second cuttings would be heavier than first and I was having a hard time understanding why. I was expecting the high moisture in first cutting to make it heavier. I can kinda understand being able to pack more hay into a bale if it's not full of water. Thus the bales are...

    Weight of Hay - First Cutting vs. Second Cutting

    Assuming a typical weather pattern of wetter cooler spring and warmer dryer summer, how does the weight of hay change from first cutting to second and maybe third?

    OT- Looking for an example of a lease document.

    Does anyone know of a source for a lease document that could be used as a pattern for lease of pasture ground or barn space? Thanks.

    Help with IH A24 / HM24 Sickle Bar Mower

    Looking for anyone that has or is familiar with the IH A24 or HM24 sickle bar mower. I'm piecing an A24 back together and need to replace the "lifting crank spring". One end of the spring is bolted to the "lifting crank" (the main rod that rotates to raise and lower the inner shoe) and the...
