Danny, Sounds to me like you have a McCormick New 4 mower. The date on my New 4 ops and parts manual is 7-18-13 and in a McCormick parts manual I have for 1916 shows that the New 4 and New Big 4 was made from 1896 to 1915. After that it shows the #6 came onto the scene in 1914 and the Big 6 in 1915. If you like I can e-mail you a copy of my New 4 manual. (I have a scanned copy on my hard drive.) The size of the file is around 2MB. The length of the pitman depends on what casting numbers that are on the metel straps on the end of the pitman. Please post the casting numbers that are on the straps when you can. This will help figure out the correct pitman for your machine. The length of the pitman will either be 35 1/4" long or 33 1/2" long. There is a Amish buggy maker near me here in Wisconsin that makes blank pitman sticks. (I think he uses ash.) They don't have any holes drilled in them so you would be able to cut, drill, and rivit it yourself to fit your machine. You can write to him at: Mast Buggy Shop W5253 Barry Rd. Dalton, Wisconsin 53926 Mervin L. Mast - Owner Hope this helps, Old Iron
