Does anyone know if the T-10 manual covers the Case Model 10 3 pt PTO sickle bar mower, belts and pitman arm, no wheels-free hanging?

I picked one up for $50 from a guy near home. He said it was working 2 years ago, but if not, I figure I could scrap it for that! Looks like it should go, but I'm one of those guys who likes to at least try to know what their doing. I've never been around a sickle mower and don't know squat about how to make adjustments, change out parts, etc. Anyway, I keep looking for a manual specific to the old Case #10, but maybe it doesn't exist? T-10 manuals seem to be readily available, but I don't know if it covers my piece.

I got the same mower. looking a grass board swath for it.

LouNY: Those are some really good points and a good start. I wouldn't have known about greasing the steel ball in the pitman arm unless there is a zirk there, and not to hit it more often then others. Not being able to cut at a down angle or free hanging is troublesome. The main reason I was looking for a sickle mower is to cut along a pond and drainage ditch. Not sure this will fill that roll now. Like I said though, I only have $50 into it and know I could sell it for that. Hopefully I can find a manual for more direction.

Mine has some down angle. Just mowed a pond bank last night and had it angled down a decent amount.

I have the manual for the T-10 trail type mower which is a towed version. It is basically the triangular plate on a 2 wheel trailer. I have scanned it into a pdf file.

Any chance you'd be willing to email another copy? jkocsis37@gmail.com Thanks.
