It is not the original IH cylinder (it has a Central Tractor decal on 
it), but I am pretty sure it originally came with one. I Googled and 
found an image of another 100 mower, and it has a cylinder. I think the 
whole point of the "Balanced head" (pitmanless) arrangement is that it 
can mow in any position from about -15° down to 90° vertical. At least 
that is what I can see from just looking at it and the seller's comments 
about using it to maintain ATV trails through his woods. I will know 
more after I get the manual.
