Jason: There is actually a very good picture of a model 12 mower mounted on a F-12 on page 216 of the book 150 Years of IH by CH Wendel. The picture is a rear view, and mounting looks very straight forward. The design of this mower is very much the same as used on all IH mowers well into the 1960s. Lever for lifting the mower bar is on the operators right. At a distance the mower could quite easily pass for the fast hitch mower on a SC, 200 or 230. Actually quite a mower in its day, 7 foot cutter bar and could cut 20 to 30 acres per day. Production like that really didn't get surpassed by much until the days of the 9' mower conditioners. A picture of a 12-B mower right beside the no 12 shows the same mowing mechanism but with a rear caster wheel and semi mounted to same tractor. I have used newer versions of this mower design, and they are without question one of the best mower designs of all time. Well worth preserving.
