I was talking to my grandpa the other day and he remembered that he used to have a JD No. 5 that he used behind his JD model B. He told me that for a hitch he just bolted angle iron to the draw bar support and then bolted that to the mower. I tried it and it worked and was cheap. Now I just have to get the sickle to move (guides are to tight), and put a new tire on it.

Wes,

As long as your mower is in the right position, whatever works is OK. You might want to consider another brace on the right side going up to the axle housing. I bought an operator's manual for my #5 and I was amazed at the mounting kits Deere offered for all kinds of tractors: the different JD models as well as Oliver, AC, IH, etc.

As far as the blades being too tight, maybe it's just from rust. You want the sections to be as close to the ledger plates as possible. JD recommends tilting the guards with a hammer (bolts partially tight) to get the ledger plates parallel to the sections. I couldn't ever get mine to move enough so I shimmed underneath the back side of the guards.

Happy mowing,

Mark
