My dad always used ash because of the straight grain and availability.
Pay particular attention to drilling the bolt holes that attach to the stick in regards to the location and the size of the hole. (Tight fit) When I first started using the mower would have to run the rpms way up to get to cut, broke my first pitman, went to make, and discovered that; after making one from another a few times, Dad had gotten a little longer and threw the timing off. After correcting the length of the bolt holes, would cut much better at slower rr's. Have fun Mark, and be safe.
