I need to locate some used pitman ends. I had a # 8 JD sickle mower given to me but I need the Pitman ends that bolt to the "stick" I can get a complete pitman at the dealer for $155.00 (they are green I think) I can buy a complete # 5 mower for $185.00.
Which is newer the 5 or the 8 and which is better.
The ser. no on the # 8 is 41599 any idea of age?
Thanks for your help
Paul

Hey Paul,
I've got a #8 Mower that has a serial #1323. My Grandfather recorded the date of Aug 15, 1958 as the date purchased in the manual. Hope it helps.

You might have some luck with these guys: Macknair & Son, in Pa, I think. They specialize in sales and repair of horse drawn equipment. I saw an ad for them in a horsefarming magazine called "The Small Farmer's Journal." (for short ones I guess).

No website that I know of. Email to:

The #8 is newer but not necessarily any better. The #5 was built for over 20 years, mid 1930s to mid 1950s so they are all around. But they all wear in the same places so to find used parts isn't so easy. Many new parts are still available but as has been noted, the "price isn't right".

sounds like your solution is simple enough, buy the other mower and you'll only have 77.50 in both of them. Use the #5 for parts as the #8 is a later mower and I guarantee you be looking for more parts after you start using. The reason the older mowers are so cheap is that parts cost the same for them as the new mowers. Might want to move on up to a #350 for the sickle mowing, much better machine, no pitmans.
