Chip: Not sure this is the best option, but it is an option. By one of the later IH semi-mount mowers, type that bolts to an H-M drawbar. It's best to drop fast hitch pull bar and vertical linkage while mowing.
Bolt two heavy angle irons on to each final drive, right over fast hitch plates so they each extend back about 6" similar to standard drawbar. As I recall, this requires a heavy angle cross member between the two. Then you bolt mower hitch plate to that. Each time you remover the mower the angle cross member stays with mower. Those heavy angle irons protruding from final drive will not interfere with operation of fast hitch, plus they give the basis for a standard drawbar should you wish. Those mowers could be equipped with a pull rod from mower rockshaft to touch control rockshaft, for lifting the cutter bar.
My dad and I ran our 130 with semi-mounted mower 7' bar from 1958 until we got a haybine. It was the best tractor mower setup we ever owned. We had two neighbors with fully mounted 7' mowers on offset tractors, just too much weight back there for productive mowing, and these were precisely why we went semi-mount. I can tell you that mower would also bolt right up to our 300, however we only did that once.
