Yeah, the belly mount on the Allis B my granddad had was like that. There was a pendulating link at the end of the pitman rod, and you could keep the sickle going at any position. One of the neighbors found a similar deal for the 9N they had. But they all had the same problem in that it wasn't a trivial thing to mount and dismount the darn mower on the tractor. The Ford deal was set up so you could leave most of the brackets on, if I remember right, and take the bar off. But it still took time, and there was still stuff left in the way. With the Allis, which was a crank start tractor, you needed to set aside half a day to get the mower on or off. Once they were on, you couldn't beat them for visibility, square corner maneuverability and all the rest. Both were hydraulically controlled and they both really worked nice.
