  • i was doing the same thing yesterday with a 78 ford 2600 and a fingerbar mower that hasnt been used in about 15 years. it worked perfect. they were such a simple design!

  • Yeah this one hadn't been used in over 10 and I just greased it and it worked like new! Yeah, this is a 501, I wish it was a 511 with the wobble box though. Thanks!

  • this is a fiat 350

  • Yes it is. Fiat sold to UTB, UTB put them together then sold to Long, and Long painted them blue. Thanks!

  • Wow thanks for sharing this, I never seen one behind a tractor before. I know an older gentleman maybe in his 60's that has one and uses it often but he uses it with horses he does have a tractor and bachhoe but says he loves working with horses better , I think they are called shirpe, sorry dont know much about horses except his horses are huge they are black and have like white fur around their feet. again ty for sharing 5 star

  • Your welcome! You don't see them as often any more. Yeah I like working with horses, but tractors are faster and less stubborn! Haha, yeah. Probably Shire horses. Thanks!

see all

  • no grass board ???????

  • We have the same mower, gotta get it up and going.

  • @AOO08DOYOUHEAR

    Don;t sound too healthy, pto shaft rattling, needs new knife and guards,but these were a good machine on the back of a Ford 5000 Major with high speed pto that let the tractor run at just a fast idle.

  • We had a ferguson one still have a pierce victor horse drawn one on vid

  • My grandfather had a Ford sickle bar like this many years ago...........ran it on an NAA Ford.....worked fine.....only part replaced was the pitman rod, and I think he made his own out of oak.

  • I have a Pierce and Ferguson fingerbar mower,Great Job but Very Dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @AOO08DOYOUHEAR my neighbor has one in his shed it looks brand new it hasnt been used in 35 years he said he might use it this year
