It's about time I see someone else with one of those mowers!! We've got a New idea 290, but that's the same machine because New Idea made the 290's, painted them blue and Ford called it a 535

My dad remember's when his dad bought one new back in the 60's, then when he took over my mom's farm from her parents he found a 535 for himself. I wrecked that one when the frame ripped in half, but then he got the NI a year later and in good shape. We still use it for cuttintg swamps and as a back-up, but this spring we bought a 14' hydra-swing to cut the hay with.

What size sprocket do you have on the end of the crimper roller to drive the reel? Seems like most only ever have a 15 tooth on, but they are also supposed to have a 21 and 24 tooth sprocket. I put the 21 tooth on ours and you can go 1/2-1 full gear faster with our Massey 285.
