John Deere No.8 mower

super99 · Jun 2, 2021

I have a JD #8 sickle mower for sale. I have mounting brackets for a 2 cylinder tractor, model 70 and the guy looking at it has a JD 3020. Will the brackets that I have work on his 3020??

With a little modification yes

Those are the brackets that I have, what will he need to modify??

My guess is he'll need to drill some different holes and maybe cut them shorter? Not sure, but there isn't that much he can modify.

Maybe drill some holes. Needs to fit this

Mounting brackets for 2 cyl tractor will not easily fit a 3020. If I were intending to mount #8 mower on 3020 I'd make a tube that fit mower mounting clamps that had a Cat ll pin on each end. One would need to lengthen the driveshaft.

Shown below is JD engineers sickle mower mounting brackets for a New Generation tractor such as a 3020

Agree.

This is how I did it my clamps were broke off

That's what I did to my no. 5 and made a drive shaft extension. If you go this route you will need to work out a way to block the three point control so you don't lift it by mistake or you will mangle your mower drive.
