I have a #5 mower that has brackets to attach to pins on the drawbar, has anyone modified this mower to work on a 3-point hitch, if so did you manufactured brackets or make your own.

Craig - YES JD did make a 3-pt adaptor for the #5 mower.

John Deere did make an adaptor frame to allow the #5 mower to be attached to a 3-pt hitch. They only use the 2 lower arms, and not the top link. I have a instruction book for it here (or at least had a book, I just lost most everything to a fire a few days ago). I've also seen these 3-pt adaptor frames.
Please send your donations to me. I lost 95% of my old tractor literature collection in the fire along with most everything else I own. All I have left is the few that were here in the house. I had everything in a storage unit just down the road and the whole place burned to the ground a few days ago and I have no insurance.

If the pins on the drawbar you are talking about are large round pins, it is probably for a quicktatch hookup. A lot of the old As and Bs have these mounted on the drawbar brackets. I have seen some of these set up for 3 point but the ones I saw were pretty butchered up. You also need to be able to raise the sickle bar without raising the whole mower.

When I was looking around for a JD tractor, I saw a sickle mower that was adapted from drawbar to 3 point hitch. The previous owner had purchased an inexpensive 5 hole draw bar that fits between the arms of the 3 point hitch and then mounted the mower to this draw bar, leaving the ends exposed for the 3 point hitch arms. For the top link, some angle iron was used to create a point for attachment. Looked simple, but very functional and made the mower much more universal and easier to install and remove.

In my opinion there was not a factory hook up...but you could easily pins to the mower with a modified bracket and I suppose you could make a center link and use a chain, then you could lift for road transport.

The owners manual for the #5 states that the #5 is not reccomended for use with the 420 tractor for example (because of the 3 point). However, if you fabricate from 2" pipe and a pair of cat I hitch pins a bracket, making it just long enough so that both lower links are against the sway blocks, you will be able to attach the mower. You still need to use a hydraulic cylinder to lift the sicklebar and you do NOT use the lift on the 3point to raise or lower the machine.
