Fabricating a tow mower
- Thread starter MNGB
- Start date
At the present by raising or lowering the tractor draw bar, tractor has what they call a lift draw bar it raises or lowers about 10"
I'm thinking JD means Jim Dandy
I had a couple of hours of mowing to do this afternoon (but not with the new tow mower) got that done and then went into the shop and finished reassembling the mower and its pretty much done, ran it outside and did a quick test run and its looking good . A little side note I painted the hitch and gas tank mounts with Rustoleum with what I thought was gloss black but looking at the parts it didn't seem quite right looked at the spray can and it said Dark Walnut now I never wanted that someone must have put it in with the black I just grabbed a bunch when I bought
Yep the fence is the neighbor ladies and I think the city plow truck hit a couple of winters ago, she's never gotten it repaired
You put that green and yellow thing behind that nice orange tractor!!!
I'm surprised it didn't spit , sputter, stumble around and ask for a divorce!!
Actually Nice Job. It should work well for you.

Didn't think you would have a fence looking like that. Good looking tow behind. If it mows as good as it looks you have it made.
I'm going to declare the tow mower officially completed now after today's little modification, I wasn't thinking the hitch-motor mount out the best for some reason had it in my mind that the hitch was just holding the deck in place and pulling it well when the engine got in place the light came on tthere was a lot of wt and it caused the deck to flex more than I like so I added some braces down the front of the deck that helped but I wasn't completely satisfied so today I built a nose roller assembly that will support the front and its has an adjustment to raise or lower the front of the deck along with raising or lowering the tractor draw bar, got it done and painted so it can cure tomorrow and be installed Monday pictures with installation
