Default Modified Haban sickle mower

A little update to the 1641 with the Haban 402-E sickle bar mower. Some of you may remember that I picked up a Haban 402-E a while ago with the 149 that I bought. I adapted it to fit the 1641, something it was never designed to fit. Used a mule drive frame I had kicking around with a couple pieces of flat bar stock to bolt to the front of the Haban. I extended the tube for the rear mount, still need to finish that up but that’s a simple deal. Then while looking at some pics during a Google search I noticed one that had been setup with hydraulics to raise and lower the bar. Cool we have a new project! I hooked up the mower deck lift to raise and lower the whole thing, fabed up a mount for the winch, welded it in and mounted a Harbor freight 2000 LB winch to raise and lower the bar. The winch was $50.00, going hydraulic would have been $200-$300.00. Thing works sweet. Now I just need to finish up the wiring and do a little trimming on the front mount. Sure beats the Armstrong lift that these things come with.

Sam,

Nice work. I hope you get some videos of you running it with the power lift.

I've kinda been keeping my eye out for a sickle mower and noticed this:
http://fingerlakes.craigslist.org/grd/4495049517.html

Any ideas how hard it would be to put that on a 2072? I know you didn't put it on a super but you did mount one on a tractor that wasn't designed for it. This price seems a bit high but i've not seen many come up for sale. Also I can't figure out what the differences between an 402D and 402E are?

Thanks,
-Levi

I was hoping to see the Sickle Bar modified to be a hedge trimmer , but was not disappointed to see your mod. Great job engineering that Sam!! Looks like your haul that day was a day well spent, providing new projects and idea for you. Glad you got it set up nicely.

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.
