If by "2-pt", you mean just the lift arms, I don't think so.
If you mean snap coupler, there is, but I'm not sure you want it. I had one, I think it was a #7, it was pitmanless, and I'm sorry I ever bought it. It was a nightmare to hook up, the mower lift and cutter bar lift mechanisms were interconnected and something in the double eccentric drive was out of whack, it just kept tearing itself up. I finally junked it. Maybe someone else had a different experience.
You can mount a #3 mower to the drawbar and axles and use a remote cylinder to lift the bar. This works pretty well if you have one in good shape. These are fairly common. I think this is probably your best option, unless you want to get a trailer mower or add a 3pt hitch to your WD.

As I indicated below, sickle bar mowers for Snap-coupler and older AC's seem fairly available. I recently bought a No. 7 myself. I haven't tried it yet, but it does seen a little complicated. Model 80 Snap-coupler sickle bar mowers are a later version and are a little more straight foward. The advantage of the No. 7 and 80 mowers as compared to the No. 3 is that they are pitmanless and thus can cut when the bar is not horizontal (on banks and the like). I heard people rave about the twin-wheel pitmanless drive, and some who condemn it. Guess it depends on what your experience is.

In the late 60's I worked for a farmer who bought a pitmanless side mount for his D-17, it probably was a #7; and it worked great. The one I had, something was out of spec in that double eccentric drive and I never could find it. It vibrated like the devil, and ground up or cracked parts. I even had to fabricate some that weren't available from AC. Plus, the advantage of a snap coupler is quick attachment, and this thing wasn't quick to attach; so I gave up. I hope you have better luck.

First a pet pieve - There is no such thing as a "two-point" hitch on a WD. Whether it is a Snap-coupler or not, there are THREE hitch points - the draft point (pin or snap-coupler bell) underneath the tractor and the two lift arms! The only "two-point" I know of is the Farmall "fast hitch".

Yes there were disks and mowers made for the WD, but they're not easy to find (but the internet helps a lot in finding these things these days). Snap-coupler implements are probably easier to find than the pre-snap coupler WD hitch. A snap-coupler disk is more common than a brush-hog type mower (Snap-coupler sickle bar mowers aren't too hard to find however). The alternative is, of course, to spend the bucks for a 3-point hitch adapter and get commonly available 3-point implements.
