Put some Lind seed oil on that pitman arm. It will last longer.. love that sicklebar mower.

I'm glad I found this video. My brothers and I are starting to repair a 501 mower for my 1952 Ford 8N. This helps. Thank you!

Good video i just finished mowing with my 501 ford sickle bar it does a good job the only draw back is high weeds will fall foward then it stops cutting. Speeding up 10- 12 hundred rpm smes to help.

We had one of those Ford 501 mowers. The only thing worse that it was the NH 451 we traded it in on. Finally a NH mower conditioner.

I feel like mowers should have a duel-cutting mechanism with both the sickles and the brush hogs simultaneously operating, turning tall grass into this mushy green fertilizer.

Question answered! Didn't know how good a sicklemower would on the tractor. Know I know!!

Very good video. I just bought one couple days ago. Seems to be in good shape. Has all original parts to it. Only thing is, is that it's not moving freely. Any ideas how to unbind it?

Do you know which attaching kit is on your mower? Recently purchased one, that we're trying to mount on a Kubota. The attaching kit it came with is for a Ford. The 3 point arms on your Deere appear the same as our Kubota.

I just bought a 501 and the pitman arm is busted with a piece missing in the middle. Can you tell me where you bought yours? Or the length of yours if I have to make one? Thanks.

I was wondering if you know the year of your mower and if the lettering Is original , the 501 and the Ford , I’m buying one and I’m sure it’s going to need some work . Its red and looks to be in good shape but was going to restore it and paint it ford blue to use whit my ford 1900 . I’ve ordered a owners and service manual to study up . Your videos are every helpful and will pay dividends when the time comes .
