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 !

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
