A few weeks ago there was a post requesting the dimensions of the lift arm extensions and top link extension bracket for the Dearborn 14-15 or 16 sickle mower. My brother restored one of these mowers so I thought I would post the dimensionns as the question comes up once and a while. It seems these mowers are often sold without the new owners being aware that there are 4 important parts needed to be mounted on the tractor for the mower to operate properly and are often missing. My brother had to locate all of the brackets and manufacture one of the lift arm extensions. These mowers are somewhat disjointed so my brother made a wheeled support frame that it sets on which makes attaching it to the tractor much easier. I have a pdf of the mower manual if anyone desires a copy.

I have an FEO? Something like yours, what a process to hitch these things up. I can't understand how a company world famous for inventing the quick and easy 3 point hitch came up with this Rub Goldberg contraption. It must have been Harry's favorite nephew or some other secret excuse. I used to help an uncle with Farmall's and the '2 point hitch' system. Me and a cousin had a mower on and ready to work in 40 seconds, we clocked it. He was about 15, I was 14. I am much more mechanically inclined over the decades since then. This one took me 2 days...
