501 sickle mower

Bought an old mower and need to work on the pitman arm bearing assembly. I haven?t found a picture of what all should be in there. I have the metal arm, dust cap, bearing, race, washer and spindle. Looks like I need a castle nut and something to hold tha arm on all of this. I have a owners manual but it hasn?t got a view of the parts. Thanks loads
 
Metal arm? Oh boy I understand why parts are missing/ busted......

Good luck with that setup......

Should be wood.

Not sure on that particular mower BUT the DEARBORN and FERGUSON mowers designed and built by DETROIT HARVESTOR were DESIGNED FOR and BUILT with a METAL pitman. And the ball was on the pitman with the ball clamps on the knife assembly, the reverse of most mowers but it worked. And I started mowing back in the 50's and NEVER BROLE A PITMAN. I don't understsnd why people have so much trouble with pitmans.
 
Looks like this ?

Leroy I broke one pitman last year cutting around a rock pile there was a rock sticking up and caught the pitman snapping it other than that I can?t see what Is so bad about them .
 
Yep looks like that. Don?t have a parts list for names to go with those numbers do ya? I need from number 13 to number 18 it seems. Thanks much
 
You must have had a realy big rock sticking up there.. No way a rock should be able to hit the pitman.
