I can’t see any advantage over a pull-behind. They must have been a PITA to mount and unmount. They were a victim of the evolutionary process, and the flail mower is beginning to edge out the rotary cutter.

Excellent news, Ian. Glad it was something simple. Thanks for the feedback.

Ok, now I got it. The mid-mount mowers gave way to pull-behind rotary cutters many years ago. I remember now. Now considered “vintage”. Hope this helps.

Does the mower you’re trying to describe hang off the front of the tractor, or is it suspended underneath the tractor then? You’re losing me here. I assume they are all PTO driven, some with a drop box.

Hi Bob, got an update. Brought the dozer home and with the help of my son, we removed the seat, floor plate and bevel gear cover. Gained access to the piston and pushed it back in. The lift arms on the three point were pretty stuck in position so we soaked them with WD 40. That may of been part of my problem why they would not go down, even with a couple hundred pounds of down pressure. Anyway we got it back together. My question is where are these stops you mentioned previously? Thanks
The early models have a stop bolt with a lock nut under the top link mount. Yours may not have this, sorry for the confusion. Don’t know what model year you have. Was your piston hyper extended/cocked?
In the future I suggest you post questions here (I’m there, and it’s free too.) because this site has become unreliable and there is no guarantee (or feedback) from the owner as to it’s longevity. :unsure:

It has been a while since I seen a 3 point belly mower I have done a search and do not see them anywhere except for one used one in bad shape ( rhino bm72). Were these a bad idea that went out of production? Or did I not look in the right place?
Quite possibly the term changes when you hang a mower from the three-point. I assume you are referring to a two, three, or four blade rotary mower, but not the brush hog type. They are then called “finish” or “grooming” mowers. There are tons of them. Example:

Since you pulled the stop lever from the full fuel position the rack could be jammed in the no fuel position. Since there is no mechanical connection between the throttle linkage and the rack you may have to remove the side cover to free it up. If you had a seemed runaway with the throttle in the full fuel position you may be ok, but if the throttle was at idle or half you do have a governor problem.

Bob got anything new with the mixer? What a large abrasive media tumbler that would make.
Funny you should ask because that’s what’s going to happen. I finally got around to breaking up that big loose chunk of cured concrete inside the barrel which I’m going to let churn around in there to sort of clean it up.
Also picked up some new polished stainless rear fenders.

Yes. And it’s fortunate that no one was in the middle of an important task that needed immediate information. I can see this happening in the future, that’s why I deem this site unreliable.

Except for these past couple of shut-downs Mandlemann has been pretty transparent about site issues, but apparently he didn’t think it was appreciated and elected to go to the dark side. I must give him some credit for keeping the site ad free but I’m pretty deaf to ads anyway so it’s not a big deal to me. Plus the tractor dealers no longer interact with this site which makes it less desirable, imo. Oh well, it is what it is. Thanks Stuart.
