I ventured out and measured. The 1250/44A manual lift max height is 2 3/4" (cutting edge of blade). This is really just the height that the casters hold it, they are set to hold the deck as high as possible. The lift can not get the casters off the ground, sitting on flat concrete. Tires are inflated properly. The 129/38's blades are 4 3/4", this 129 has very little wear on the deck hanging wear areas (my first post was on my other 129 which has a lot of wear-and is torn apart). it would be interesting to hang the 50A on that 129 and see where it rides, but will have to wait for someone to put it back together - and some warmer weather so I can paint the frame.
And yes a sickle bar would be the real answer
