F-20 SICKLE BAR MOWER

BIG BORE 20 · Jul 7, 2008

I have a sickle bar mower that came with a F-20 that I bought 40 years ago, I've never tried putting it on. This IHC mower was made just for F-20's I was told. The whole thing mounts a cross the draw bar some how? There's no rear wheel and it doesn't pivot at the draw bar like simi-mounted IH sickle bars do. It looks like the sickle bar would set next to the rear tire of the tractor with a foot operated lift. I think it would be a pain to put it on and take off. Do you guy's know anything about these type of old mowers or have you ever ran one?

they look good all done up if your tractors restored, but i dont think i would want to really use one, nor would i want to take it on or off :? i think they are more for looks now than anything.

I have one actually mounted on a H Farmall, the draw bar of the tractor had to come off. I bought the tractor that way and do use it but agree with Old F20 its a pain to use. If I take it off I doubt I will ever put it on anything again.
