Nice score on the sickle bar mower!

Some must think I am crazy and I can see that sometimes they think I am a little daft, their eyes just glaze over and move a little away in case it rubs off...
I do the same thing! And that response is common on my end too! At Christmas, my brothers (I have 4) wouldn't quit giving me a hard time about my "addiction". My brothers wife actually growled at me the other day because he is catching the "bug". My other brother, after I showed him my newly running 125 decided he wanted it for himself. Told him I need it for this year, but by next winter I might be interested in "selling" it to him! I kind of think it's funny when someone gets "bitten by the bug". LOL!

BE VERY CAREFUL when you pick up the sickle bar. The cutter bar can move downward when you raise the whole thing up, and if you have fingers in there between the blades and the guards you are in trouble. My experience with them is when it drops it drops all the way.

My .02 cents worth.

That's not a joke! Thats the very first thing my Granddad taught me when I first started running a sickle bar mowing hay. I know a lady who did have the end of her finger cut off by one. Open your hand up, don't grab the bar, and keep your fingers to the rear of the bar when folding!! Good advice Dave!

heavy welding gloves, and 1/4 leather are what I use when moving mine around. wrap the bar in the heavy leather and have the gloves on. a good air condition installer can make you a cover real cheap, well cheaper than losing a finger. I went to the scrap yard and found some lite weight metal and just hammered me one out, was ugly but worked

I was perusing the 402 a,d,and e manuals and do not see the type of hanger Mike has,maybe a revision???
I checked out the 402E today Lew and the brackets look like yours. They aren't notched so I'm guessing the PO of my 402D maybe notched them to possibly fit better to the front axle?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
