Trouty56 565 #1 Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) A few weeks ago I come across a sickle bar mower that happened to be for a 1054.....a frame that is 1 1/4 inch wider than the regular frame.....I wanted to mount it on my Charger mutt so....... I bought a 3 1/2" pulley at TSC for the drive......shimmed the right side of the belly mount 1/2 inch on the right side and 3/4 on the left...I really wanted the pivot shaft as far under the tractor as possible and the pulleys to line up on the drive side.....some pictures......enjoy!!! Front drive unit....... Rear pivot.....this part was missing so I had to fab one up.....this is why I had to get under the tractor as far as possible....otherwise the frame supports would have been too close for the pivot hole..... Any guesses what I used for the rear pivot mount????? Nice scratch on the belt guard from my idiocracy.....knuckles and paint always get scraped up when I get too rammy.... One thing I added was a lift linkage.....this sucker is HEAVY.....for now this bent PTO rod is working...... Add I couldn't have got it completed without my bestest friend.......
