Presenting the sickle.... now to work out the bugs
Well I got a little more done today than what I expected.... I got the Haban wiped down a little, tried some cleaning wax and I'm pretty pleased with the result.
The sickle mounted easy enough, but there's still a few bugs I need to work out. One is it's mostly dragging the ground on the bar side, there's got to be a way to adjust that... Another was the knives were pretty much rusted tight... about an entire can of PBblaster and soaking. Now I've got to get the v-belt adjusted, it's real loose... I've got a scanned manual, but it's horrible quality once I got looking at the pictures, basically a copy of a photocopy... Anway, here's how she looks for now 221367_2049180075391_1421132445_32394942_6394573_o.jpg 218733_2049180635405_1421132445_32394945_2238971_o.jpg 242327_2049180915412_1421132445_32394947_2757382_o.jpg 218785_2049181235420_1421132445_32394948_8105187_o.jpg

impressive sir (cheetos cheeta reference )
at our local flee market last week a man was selling a old front drive tiller /snow pusher / sickel style brush cutter for $75 it looked early 60 era he said he thought it was a David Bradley. I might have bought it if I drove my truck I am thinking of mounting a 2 cycle lawn boy to make a verticle brush cutter I do not understand how yours cuts exactly under the red plate hun Don |

Oh ya.... I'm definitely going to do some videos.... I guess everything just went too smooth at 1st yesterday. Like I said, I got to figure out how to adjust the bar so that it's not dragging the ground and either get the belt v-belt tension correct or find a new belt.

Is there any way you could put spacers on the mount on the opposite side? That would swing the bar up.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
