Wow.. I hate to admit it, but I REALLY like my 1940 H. I've been traditionally a "green" kinda guy, but have done a few red ones over the years just to have an opinon in the argument between red and green... But I bought an H cheap and went all thru it. It steers SO much better than any of my other non-power steering green ones...except for maybe my JD H, but then, shoot, it only weighs 40 lbs;) I like to use my RED H on my GREEN #5 mower. (works GREAT!) But, I have one question re the hydraulics... its either all the way up or all the way down. If I try to stop the bar part way up, the cylinder just goes back down. If I allow the cylinder to fully expand, it'll stay up all week. Is there anyway I can get a "partial" raise w/ the H hydraulics? Sometimes, I just wanna cut a little higer for just a short distance w/o having to put spacers on the cylinder...

Also have a 40 H that is undergoing restoration. Have been given a JD #5 sickle mower by a friend, but am having trouble figuring out the "Quick-Tatch" mounts. The holes don"t seem to match up to the draw-bar holes. Any help would be appreciated.

John, you will have to find the mount for an H or make a mount for your tractor or change the quick attach mount to a flat drawbar type to fit your tractor. Send me an email and I will send a picture of what the mount for the flat bar looks like.

This is hard to do with the cycle mower. It is to light. When it bounces a little the lift will let go and drop the mower. I had the same problem on my M with a No 5 JD mower(It works fine with my IH mower). With anything heavier it would hold anywhere I put it. It would even drop the bar when I hit a rough spot on the road and bounced a little. I cured this by installing a valve in the hydraulic line, then I could make it stop and hold anywhere I wanted..

Well i use my h all the time on a belly mower and i can chose any where i want on the cylinder. Sometimes the handel slips past the "bump" on the handel and it will go down. Sounds like this might be it. But i bet you know to check for that. If it needs to be power down and not gravity you need a 2 way valve remote. But i think your talking about gravity down. when you pull the rod it should go up. then it should rest in the off position and hold the cylinder where ever you set it. but make sure it is holding on the catch on the rod. it is a kittke bump that keeps it from going down. other wise some one els might know. Im have never had a problume with any hydrolics on a h with gravity cylinder(S) All mine are non remote,one way with gravity down.
