Was cleaning up an elderly lady's yard today and noticed these hanging on the shed wall. Looks like sickle bar brackets? Or for a blade? Loader? I assumed it to be ford with the blue and red paint. There is a sickle bar more in the weeds near by but didn't feel like digging through prickers just to find out.

You are on the right track.
They are for a Dearborn sickle mower. The underaxle brackets and the "dogbone" extensions.
Dogbones replace the the knuckle at the top of the lift links. See photo.

the one ''red'' angle iron bracket is a sway/stabilizer bracket that mounts under the axle using the fender bolts, common on many Ford and Ferguson tractors...

Are you interested in selling the sickle bar mower parts? Please let me know. Thanks

Well I can identify three of the parts. Ford/Dearborn Stabilizer Bar Fender Brackets, top is angle iron aftermarket type, middle two are original Dearborn style, with the RH one having the ball socket needed to hitch up and run Dearborn Rear Attached Mowers. I use stabilizer bars on my rear blade especially when plowing snow, and on my mower too when cutting grass as well as some other implements. I have an original set of the Dearborn Fender Brackets and an original top link mower bracket required as well if anybody is interested...my email is open...

ok, the 'dog bone' parts were identified by Ultradog and are Dearborn part number 142712, EXTENSION BRACKETS, need for the sickle mowers. there is also a special bracket needed to operate the sickle bar mowers, p/n 141242, Upper Link Bracket and shown in my picture below. It appears somebody had the sense to secure all the needed parts together when not using the mower and keep handy in the tractor shed. Some fellas use that special top link bracket to hook up limiter chains to. Don't use it to pull with or connect anything else to though.
