    Thanks for the help. Isnt there a danger of the external gear chewing up your left foot?

    Basically the same as a cattle crush, i.e. for administering injections etc. They also used to use ours for breeding…

    Is 15w40 oil Ok?

    Also I was wondering if you can paint any part of the blades. I can just paint the actual cutting bar because I have to replace the blades anyway.

    Thanks, I got it undone by turning anticlockwise. Basically when undoing the pitman shaft, u turn it the same way as it would be turning when in gear. On macknairs website he has a pawl as one of the pieces on the lifting lever.

    Whats the proper level for the oil in the gearbox?

    And how are the wheels lubricated on a #7 because I dont see any grease nipples?

    I was also wondering what a pawl holder is? The WHS paint guidelines mentioned them

    Im a bit apprehensive about using that method because Ive broken the flywheel previously. On my #9 I was able to lock the flywheel and tap the pinion gear with a chisel and hammer and that seemed to work quite well. Is there a way of doing this on the #7?

    Im trying to figure out how to get the pitman shaft out so I can change the seal. I know how to do it on a number 9 but the number 7s gearbox doesnt work the same way. Anyone know how to do it?

    How do you know if a mower is a high lift? Mines a high gear but that doesnt mean high lift as well?

    I looked on the Wisconsin Historical Societys website and found the colours for the mower, does anyone know what colour Harvester Ochre actually is?

    Ive started painting some of the parts and started scrounging for parts from my #9 and its starting to seem not so impossible anymore…

    Ive always been under the impression that farmers in North America and Europe are subsidised heavily. Or is that only for industrialised farms?

    I dont have any plows with third wheels, they and riding plows were very uncommon in South Africa, so I dont know how the setting works when you are plowing. Do you just attach the wheel when going to and from the land or does it have to have its own lever to set the height?

    Can anyone tell me how long the metal rod in front of the pitman is? I cant seem to find a replacement so Ill just have to make my own.

    Thanks
