[Farmall] Mott mower

[Mike Sloane]

Unlike Jim's rear mount Mott mower (actually called a "hammer knife") 
the center mount Mott can be run in reverse by turning over the belt, 
and the finish will be just like a putting green. I have the original 
manual for the 48" center mounted Mott Hammer Knife and can scan it in 
and send it as an Email attachment to anyone who is interested.

As someone mentioned, the bearings are the usual part that need 
replacement, and they are still available from Alamo dealers. But be 
prepared for sticker shock - you won't get much change back from a $100 
bill for just one bearing.
